News: Cowboys have footballs whistling while they work

[Idgit]

Very cool, always interested to see the juxtaposition of tech and sports.

And this device seems worthwhile too - the turnover ratio has such a high correlation to a team's record. Might as well do everything you can to improve it.

Last season, in a nutshell. Gave it away, couldn't take it away.

Because then it'd be making the noise whenever anyone wasn't touching it.

Doesn't it have an ON/OFF switch?

At least have it play music.

Might be the designer in me, but I'm really curious about why the choice to have it beep when you're holding it correctly rather than when you're holding it wrong.

That's like saying why do babies cry. Cause if they laughed we'd never know what was wrong.

make sure Beasley uses it everyday.

... you've just described a ball that beeps when you're holding it wrong, which is the opposite of how this ball works.

H-m-m -- sounds like the RBs and WRs had better keep that ball whistling, or else the coaches will be getting in their face. Pretty cool idea.
