That is a bunch of urban legend and numbskullery! The condition of the footballs is not going to give anyone an advantage.

Anytime an officials pulls out an air gauge and checks the footballs, then marks them like they are his golf balls, you know you are in for a long night. I am sure he is carrying a tape measure for the Quarter change as well.
