Edmunds TFL to stop the bleeding in the 1st Q of the Bowl Game

This definitely! You have to show London's temper tantrum too.

McMillian TD run against NCST, Sam Rogers TD against OSU, Motu's forced fumble vs GT, Adonis TD breakup vs UVA, Adonis sky pick vs NCST, Malleck TD vs OSU, several Ford TDs, Kendall strip sack TD vs Purdue, blocked punt TD vs Purdue, Stroman punt return TD vs Tulsa

And of course Beamer getting carried off the field. The pregame chants were awesome too

Related to McMillian, his run against NC State, following the great block from Gallo, is a nice highlight. Couple that with Sam Rogers juking the OSU defender out of his shoes for a TD and you have a couple of really nice run/catch-and-run plays.

Just this on a 5 minute look with Enter Sandman blasting.

Greg Stroman knocking Matt Johns out of bounds and lolUVA's bench whining about it

Dadi sealing the bowl win with a sack comes to mind immediately.

The 2 scholarships that he and his family endowed show his connection to VT and his passion in serving the communities he belongs to.

It's not as far out as you claim. Let's say steroids would have had the likelihood of adding one homerun to a box score. Then let's say the under inflated balls had the likelihood of preventing one fumble. Is the impact in the game that much different? The reason MLB was so noticeably different during the juicing era was because everybody was juicing.

I went to that game, and I knew the LS would airmail a snap. During 2nd half warmups, every snap back to the punters from him was low and several he skipped back to the punter. You could tell he was uncomfortable with the conditions. Still a heck of an effort by Hughes on that play.

Yeah, I don't think I can continue to discuss this with someone who legitimately thinks steroid use in baseball is comparable to footballs being underinflated. Or thinks that a four game suspension, million dollar fine, two people losing their jobs, etc is even "debatable" as to whether this is appropriate punishment.

The psi of a football isn't going to turn Tom Brady into you, or you into Tom Brady.

And steroids aren't going to turn me into Mark McGwire. Reductio ad absurdum.

Baseball players practice and spend thousands of hours on their craft, too. Steroids were/are a competitive advantage. Manipulating equipment and manipulating your body are both violations of professional sports rules. Simple as that.

There are two separate issues here. One, was there cheating, and was Brady complicit? Possibly. Two, is the punishment appropriate? Debatable. But when the CBA says the commissioner can investigate and punish as he sees fit, and the standard of evidence is as low as it is, it's case closed in that regard.

Not sure how I'll be able to track your variety of usernames, but I've added you anyways

Here's the obvious difference with this comparison: Steroids greatly affected the power, bat speed, endurance, and healing abilities of many players, and it resulted in enormous and noticeable stat increases.

The psi of a football isn't going to turn Tom Brady into you, or you into Tom Brady. To assume that psi has a significant affect on the arm talent of an NFL quarterback (any of them) who have spent thousands of hours practicing their throwing motion and repetitions and have natural ability to throw a football hard/fast is ridiculous. It is insulting to what it takes to be an NFL QB to say that the psi of the ball is having a significant impact on the game.
