OMGosh I just read an article about Super Bowl XXXVII and the Buccaneers quarterback admitted to paying someone 7500.00 dollars to ""scuff up"" the ONE HUNDRED balls that are used for a Super Bowl game. Apparently he didn't like playing with brand new footballs fresh out of the box.
But one difference . . . both teams play with the same footballs for the Super Bowl vs. swapping out between possessions in regulation season & playoff games.
WOW.
