It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Neither the field temperature nor the locker room temperature were measured. The Wells report made assumptions about those temperatures. If the actual locker room temp was 2 degrees higher and the field temp 2 degrees lower than the Wells assumptions, that .2 PSI difference would be explained by the IGL.
Additionally, given that the balls were wet, you wouldn't even need a full 2 degree difference from the assumptions - however, the impact of wet balls is harder/impossible to predict analytically and would require controlled experiments.
"Roger Sucks"? Ooh, Patriots fans don't like Roger? That won't make a ripple.
"Point Two Three" concisely gets out the one cogent point that sinks Deflategate. If the stadium soundtrack is that chant, I guarantee you the NBC Halftime show centers around it - - with contributions from Florio, King and Rodney Harrison.
This is Patriots fans best national opportunity. Don't blow it on a generic "Roger sucks" chant.
Strange how that scandal - NFL Employee Stealing Game Balls Intended for Charity - got completely swept under the rug. No investigation, who else was "generally aware" of this, who else benefited? WOuld not surprise me if there were folks in the front office making money off of this.The only balls that were tampered with were the balls that were stolen by one of the NYJFL employees. I understand why that thief was fired, but I'm still trying to figure out why the Pats employees suffered the same fate.

Actually, Goodell had to be more aware of Scott Miller than Brady could have been about any perhaps deflating. Miller had been previously reprimanded for pulling the same crime and was given a second chance to do it again.
Those measurements were not taken by the Colts, they were taken by an NFL official, who borrowed the Patriots (JJ's) gauge to make the measurements. The Colts had indeed measured it once, but then the ball was confiscated
Page 70 of Wells Report
The pressure of the Patriots ball that had been intercepted by the Colts was separately tested three times and the measurements—11.45, 11.35 and 11.75 psi, respectively— were written on athletic tape that had been placed on the ball for identification. League personnel retained possession of the intercepted ball and it was not reintroduced to the game after halftime.
That's because he was only stealing balls intended for charity, he deserved a second chance.
It doesn't have to be that extreme. As much as I'd love to see this descend into actual criminality, it isn't going to happen. HOWEVER, if Tom takes the next step and files the defamation suit, you WILL get to see Roger have to take the stand and explain his actions in open court. You WILL get to see the transcript of his deposition, and you WILL get to see a long line of despicable characters have to take the stand and explain what they've done and be crossed by lawyers with all the evidence they need to prove their case.and guess what...the only thing left in my 9 year tirade against Roger Goodell is his indictment IN FEDERAL COURT...I don't care what the charges are...just get this arrogant pinhead in a REAL court of law...I want to see him grovel like the little rich kid moron punk he is inside.
Any chance a re-arbitration hearing could be public if it goes that route?
All the data and testimony and common sense, even the wells report, supports that the pats did nothing wrong. The only thing that supports it is what the nfl thinks we did.
A re-arbitration is more likely to clear Brady's name than a defamation suit. I don't know how Brady could prove financial damages; his jersey sales have doubled, he hasn't lost his job, and I don't know of any lost endorsement deals. Perhaps another poster with more legal knowledge could talk about suing for non-financial damages and slander.

Seems like he stole the Ravens K Ball, the Ravens blamed the Pats, told the Colts and then this all started. All cover up of NFL folks tampering at 2 playoff games.That's because he was only stealing balls intended for charity, he deserved a second chance.
