Things that are flaccid

NFL footballs, apparently. At least the ones used by certain teams.

I’m learning much more than I ever wanted to know about football inflation of late. Seems like the major news organizations consider this an item of some import. Between CNN, Reuters (yes, Reuters?) and various online versions of soon to be defunct newspapers, I am very well informed concerning the ‘mystery’ of the somewhat underinflated balls.

This is an entertainment enterprise through which we pay guys who never grew up millions of dollars each year to run around on a big lawn, throwing and kicking said balls and pushing each other down. And we’re supposed to feign surprise when one or more of them lets some of the air out of a few balls.
Some folks seem to choose really odd things to worry about.

Excuse me, I have a really important yawn coming up.
