There has been a lot of talk about the Patriots’ potential deflation of footballs, which has led to people talking about footballs a lot, which has led to footballs being abbreviated as “balls” a lot, which has led to A MILLION BILLION TRILLION TABLOID HEADLINES ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE WORD FOR SPORTS OBJECTS IS THE SAME AS THE WORD FOR TESTES.
The Patriots are SICK of your ‘balls’ jokes
WE GET IT. IT’S THE SAME WORD AS TESTICLES -- the Patriots
