Now it’s totally irrelevant.
I love the options now and subscribe to BSJ, The Athletic, and a Georgia Bulldog site but do miss the days of SI and actual printed magazines.
Kudos to King
Wow, mad respect to him for being so direct about his regret on this. So many reporters have gone back and pretended it never happened. (Mort, many others)
Kudos to King
Sure, but eh. I'm not going into that now. Not going to beat people over the head about the minor details about everything now. it's been a decade.Yeah, but he still doesn’t get it. He mentions Goodell was killing an ant with a sledgehammer. He then points out that Brady’s passer rating on the road was close to his rating at home.
Saying there was an ant suggests there was a minor violation. Wrong, there was no ant.
It was unnecessary to compare Brady’s home road splits.
The pressure of the balls changed exactly in line with the temperature and game conditions. The were dozens of science and engineering professors that pointed this out. An MIT professor even made an hour or so long video explaining it in detail.
King never understood that. He talked about it, but as though it was a possible theory. He is an idiot. This is middle school science and he never fully grasped it.
I don’t care that he reported the inflation levels inaccurately initially. NFL executives lied. That’s on them. I cared about reporters like him not believing or being skeptical of the ideal gas law. If he and others reported that with the same gusto they did the original report, the story would have ended and with Goodell looking like the liar and moron that he is.

Yes, I discussed with him, in plain English, how the math shows that the pressure measurements were fully explained by the temperature changes. By email and by phone.If I'm not mistaken, @Palm Beach Pats Fan had email conversations during this whole fiasco known as Deflategate.

He thanked me and mentioned our discussions in his column. But he also waffled and went to the position that "SOMETHING probably happened, we will never know for sure, but it's not a big deal"
He seems to regret the waffling now
