We never use the condition of the footballs as an excuse. We play with whatever or kick with whatever we have to use and that’s the way it is.

Different Information Quality
We’ll continue to work hard to do a better job in every area going forward. I don’t know where those little things will come from but we’ll continue to be diligent on them.

I think that we’ll continue to try to look at ourselves in the mirror and see where we can do a better job, maybe where we can improve the process. But I think the fundamentals of the process will remain the same.

However bad we can make them, I make them. Any time that players complain about the quality of the footballs, I make them worse and that stops the complaining.

We have absolutely done as much work as we can on finding out things like that and we’ll try to get all the information that we can as that would apply to any current situation, which I can’t talk about.
