My SpoFi NFL regular season pick'em "trophy" arrived today (the official NFL football).
My 2.5 year old daughter said "That's a funny soccer ball".
She's currently playing with it (rolling it around on the floor, dropping it off the couch).
Two things:
1) Those balls are MUCH lighter than I thought they'd be.
2) I'm pretty sure it's over-inflated, and not just "for Tom Brady's use", but in general. It's rock hard and I can't squeeze it at all with my software developer hands.

It had to be overinflated due to the estimated drop in internal pressure expected at your latitude. Just put it outside for half an hour and let Ontario regulate it.
Oh, once it's been depressurized, can you bring it down to Gillette Stadium by 4pm tomorrow? We can help get you through the border crossing at Lewiston.

One of the dumber things to come out of the Bengals/Steelers game was Adam Jones' insistence that Antonio Brown was faking his injury after the vicious hit by Vontaze Burfict. Brown has been ruled out of this weekend's game with a concussion.
