If the Colts Footballs were tested after the Patriots ones they would have warmed up enough to pass a gauge test.
It really is incredibly simple.
I'd bet they were NEVER checked with a pressure gauge before the game.
PSI drops 18% between 100 degrees F and 0 degrees F. Therefore if the balls were filled indoors at 75 degrees and checked at 45 degrees outdoors hours later, the greatest drop would be about 6%, which is NO WHERE near 2 lbs PSI (It would bring the ball to 11.75 PSI, not 10.5). The temperture change was simply not enough to explain this, not even close actually.

Todays nfl is all about money, letting the patriots be portrayed as the 'bad guys' and seattle the good it draws in the people who are less than casual fans. This story has been on news programs day and night, in the last few days its been a feature story on all the major and minor news outlets so Every One knows about the story. Its free pub,people that never watched or cared about football will tune in. this =$$$$$$$$$$$People,
The stupid is strong with this one (King).
I won't repeat the correct posts about starting pressures, etc. here but my point is that WTF is the NFL doing "leaking" (Heh!) information to reporters, information that puts the Patriots in a bad light mostly because it is incomplete and easily mis-interpreted. I have NO RESPECT WHATSOEVER for the way the league office has conducted themselves here. By leaking these tidbits they are behaving as if they had an agenda, a vendetta, and find themselves in a conundrum where their supposed evidence is full of holes.
Please tell me why my interpretation of their behavior is fallacious.
No, you ****ing halfwit. The balls don't "deflate" they just read lower pressure with the same amount of air. Seriously, they teach this **** to children in grade school, and PK has been combing over it for a week and still remains confused.
So it's 5 possible scenarios...
1. Someone deflated the balls that is working/operating on behalf of the Patriots-GUILTY-PATS
2. The Pats balls were in a separate location/climate than the Colts balls which produced different measurements-INNOCENT
3. The officials are lying and they never measures the balls-INNOCENT
4. The Colts took the Patriots balls - which were legal and swapped them for illegal balls-GUILTY- COLTS
5. The balls taken were Patriots practice balls (which could be possible...why would BB go into the "I create situations in practice that are harder in games. INNOCENT

These may not be real leaks.

Something that just occurred to me (as long as the rest of the world has a theory ), is what if the NFL isn't zeroing in on the Pats at all. Tom hasn't been approached. Maybe just maybe they are investigating the colts or even the Ratbirds. There could be a major smear conspiracy here. Oh, the beauty of such a thing. Spygate? What's that?People,
