Regardless, he didn't use "prolate" or any other qualifier-- hence the need to more accurately refer to the football as simply an ellipsoid. But let's not get too technical (because then we'd also need to get into the "tips", the "seam bulge", etc http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soccer_ball#American_and_Canadian_football) ;) Title: Re: HEY JAWORSKI Post by: Aske on October 20, 2008, 07:01:30 PM btw, denver donkos suck ass.
