Strange if that is the case- if there are strict guidelines on the condition of the ball, who cares where they come from. Possibly rubbed down are prepped differently, which is allowed?
I also read somewhere that Peyton Manning was instrumental in the rule allowing each team to provide their own footballs?
For what it is worth, the majority reaction on Patriots forums, after this newest development about 11 footballs being off, seems to be a lot of disgust and disappointment and not so much coming up with ridiculous explanations.
