The jokes are writing themselves now.
“I have a major problem with the way it goes down, to be honest with you,” Rodgers said Tuesday on his ESPN Milwaukee radio show. “The majority of the time, they take air out of the football. I think that, for me, is a disadvantage.”
Rodgers said he likes the ball to be inflated because of his strong grip pressure and large hand size but doesn’t believe that’s the norm.
“The majority of quarterbacks, I would say more than half, are maybe on the other end of the spectrum and like it on the flatter side,” he said on his show. “My belief is that there should be a minimum air-pressure requirement but not a maximum. There’s no advantage, in my opinion — we’re not kicking the football — there’s no advantage in having a pumped-up football.
