The level of evidence is definitely stronger than I think most anticipated. Now I guess it's a wait and see to hear what penalties the NFL lays down against Tom and the Pats. Let's hope is just a fine but I have a feeling it's going to be more than that.
It really isn't. I'm sure Columbia laughed at Wells "measurements" and hung up. Just one simple scenario to explain why the only "evidence" is 200 pages of conjecture based on a couple texts and somebody entering the bathroom. The league provides a simple explanation with the text regarding 16 psi footballs in the Meadowlands. Where's the investigation on that?
The nfl's own gauges differ by .35 psi, more than the descrepancy the Patriots are being slammed over.
The report claims deflating 12 footballs in a locked bathroom can be done in 70 seconds. Problem is, 2 nfl refs can't measure 24 footballs each in 12 minutes? Maybe after Colts balls started measuring low they decided they better stop if this sting is going to work. Also of note, I'm sure Blakeman didn't have any feelings either way after the public beating (and I'm sure crazy letters and threats) he took for puking down his chest at the end of the Carolina game...
Cold rain not taken into account by CaliHacks. They are tight on water, it's understandable. Pats balls were probably more wet as they dominated time of possession 38 to 22 (couldn't find 1st half Stat in a few minutes of googling). As other individuals have shown, a wet football expands a bit, slightly lowering psi due to a contained fluid filling a larger volume.
That said, 9 of 11 footballs still fell into CaliHacks predicted range. Maybe that one outlier had to do with the Pats stomping all over the Colts in the first half and that one ball saw more punishment?
This seems far more plausible, and physically backed by the ideal gas LAW, rather than a handful of grumpy texts. In physics, laws are not doubted. If it was the ideal gas theory, it could be sloughed aside with the ignorant arrogance of this ill contrived report. This 200 page abortion raises more questions about the legitimacy of the process prior to the game, and the process of the investigation and report writers than it does of Tom Brady or the two equipment guys.
16 psi ball after nj game. Brady goes ape ****, looks up rules, tells equipment guys to make sure balls are at low end of guidelines and beats them about it all year. Snide, grumpy texts result.
But no, forget the majority of the balls fall within guidelines (both sets if balls set with higher measuring gauge pregame) and throw a cloud of doubt on the greatest dynasty of the salary cap Era.
. The average Human is so stupid that there is no point in attempting to discuss the holes in this report and the fact that it's based off of text messages and biased speculation. What I really love is when people who don't have the first clue about football chime in with their opinions.
