I see what I did there, thank you for not making me look stoooopid. Seriously.
I was interested in reading your opinion and I knew I wouldn't see it anywhere else. I think you give a fair & honest opinion, you're always logical and I appreciate that. I can hardly stand reading the sports writers anymore, I pretty much think they all suck, they are like the Fox News of sports.

In regards to "ir":
As I noted previously, the word "irregardless" (including the "ir") is useless. "Regardless" should instead be used if you're worried about being most proper at all times and/or trying to impress. None of which is an issue for me in casual communication.
In regards to the acceptability of "irregardless":
As I noted previously, I do not think that "irregardless" is acceptable in academic or professional writings. However, when it comes to casual conversation and writings, like in the context of posting on a fun internet forum, this broad ain't gonna give a shit if you use a non-standard word, a slang word, or a curse word over a more formal one, so long as I understand what you're communicating. Language is meant to facilitate communication and I, personally, care more about understanding each others' points than I do about word choice. Plus, I like it when people say/write things in accordance with how they think and feel.
Know what I mean? I bet you do, even though I could have said it using more proper English and avoided littering up the joint with "broad", "ain't", "gonna" "shit", run-on sentences, and fragments. I'm shameless, Gunnar!!
Back to NFL?

Not a word." "Someone else" decided to push the issue.

Of course you didn't and I didn't think you did. I would have said it like that to Cutz even if irregardless had never happened.

You're welcome.
And, I hope your balls aren't deflated because I had to clearly state the same thing to you three different times before your ability to comprehend it kicked in.
No penalties, though.

He's killing me!Duchess, I apologize for tickling Gunnar in class.
I've moved to the corner, I promise.
RE: NFL 2014 - Duchess - 01-21-2015
I live for this kind of thing.I sure hope everyone else sees as much humor in it as I do. Irregardless, it still makes me smile and laugh.
RE: NFL 2014 - HairOfTheDog - 01-21-2015
I'm definitely smiling.
Never too old for a little hair-pulling and tickling, I say.
I wonder if Gunnar will eventually reciprocate.
ETA: Just saw that he broke up with me. Damn it, if I'd known we were going around and all, I mighta ("might have" for Gunnar) considered improving my playground vocabulary.

I was back on the Mock market before I even knew that I was off of it!
Men are fickle; especially, it seems, those with mad English language skillz.
Ah well, best to just buckle my shoes and pull myself outta the corner, I guess.

Just saw this update:
League sources have confirmed that the footballs were properly inspected and approved by referee Walt Anderson 2 hours and 15 minutes before kickoff, before they were returned to each team.
ESPN Sports Radio 810 in Kansas City reported that the Patriots' footballs were tested at the half, reinflated at that time when they were found to be low, then put back in play for the second half, and then tested again after the game. The report did not reveal the results of the test following the game. All of the balls the Colts used met standards, according to the report. http://espn.go.com/boston/nfl/story/_/id/12202450/nfl-says-new-england-patriots-had-inflated-footballs-afc-championship-game
It'll be interesting to see what the investigation uncovers. I hope there was no foul play (not punt intended). Really do hope that there was no cheating involved.

RE: NFL 2014 - Cutz - 01-21-2015
I'd be more interested to see how the balls were deflated. I bet Wilfork sat on them.

You're a stickler; fun to tickle or tackle or go back and forth with.
But, I'm quite sure I'm a stickler's or a control freak's worst nightmare on a romantic level.
You were wise to dump my ass, Gunnar.
RE: NFL 2014 - Maggot - 01-22-2015
I would like to know what the ball boy did and who told him what. I think only he would know.

I'm just glad it was a clean break.

I bet those ball boys are getting grilled.
According to John Madden, irregardless as to who physically deflated the balls (if that's what happened), it all falls on Tom Brady.
He says only the quarterback would make that call because it doesn't matter how much easier it is for a receiver to catch the ball if the quarterback can't throw it with optimal efficiency.
In Madden's opinion, the coach and the owners probably wouldn't know about any such request from the QB to the ball boys.
