    Brady "at least generally aware" of deflated balls

    I agree with this completely. Through all of this drama it hasn't ever been made clear by the NFL if the game officials have an official procedure where they actually put an air pressure gauge on every game ball before every game, or if the balls are checked by the officials more by feel...

    Moving to West Des Moines: Internet Provider Suggestions

    We had CenturyLink in WDM but would have a lot of buffering issues when streaming Netflix and Amazon movies. We were paying for 8MB DSL, but weren't getting near that in the evenings. We switched to Mediacom and have been very happy with the decision.

    Brady "at least generally aware" of deflated balls

    I am not a Patriot defender, but it sounds to me like the NFL didn't have a good procedure in place to assure the balls were between 12.5 - 13.5 PSI. In the Pats employee text messages, the guys mentioned the refs pumping some balls up to 16 PSI. If the NFL doesn't have their own refs...

    Recommended Handgun Retailers - Des Moines

    Did you have your own FFL, or did you work through a local dealer? I wasn't sure if most local dealers are cool with receiving a gun on behalf of a customer or if they are ****** you didn't buy it from them?

    Recommended Handgun Retailers - Des Moines

    No big reason for the increase. Have shot my Dad's .357 revolver quite a bit and was just thinking something more powerful than my old 9MM.

    Recommended Handgun Retailers - Des Moines

    Thinking about buying a handgun and wanted to know what retailers you all can recommend in the Des Moines metro area. Wasn't sure if there were some good smaller gun shops around or if everyone shops at the big retail stores? (Not sure if the size is relevant, but I am thinking about a .45...

    Basketball in Des Moines

    Valley Community Center is a new facility near our house. I have never been there myself, but I believe they have an open gym at times and my understanding is that it is open to the public. More info is on their website: http://www.valleycommunitycenterdm.com/

    AB's "Brewed the Hard Way" Ad...

    I haven't had a Budweiser for quite a while even though I was a Bud man at a younger age. I actually liked the Super Bowl commercial and it made me thirsty for a Bud.
