Think before you speak. Officials examine and test all balls 2 hours before the game. Balls go to ball attendant (under the supervision of the NFL again). Officials handle footballs when in play under scrutiny of 70,000 fans and national television audience (as career officials, they cannot feel a ball is underinflated after handling thousands of footballs? That is like saying a master chef wouldn't know when a dish is overcooked.).
Is it more reasonable to believe a 12.5 pound inflation may have lost 0.5 pounds of pressure, or that the nefarious BB directed that result? If you say the latter, I would have to assume (1) you are a fan of another team trying to get Pats fans to agree with you (from the response, big fail on that) or (2) you believe man never landed on the moon and all the other ridiculous conspiracy theories offered. The NFL itself stated in the video posted by Galeb this action is not out of the ordinary. Get a grip.
Ok, I was at the game, I've replied in a dozen threads about getting tickets, and this is the first post I've ever gotten negative feedback on, so pretty sure I am a Pats fan. You guys are really really riled up about this. My opinion is that there is a good chance the thing for which they are being investigated for, they did. It's my opinion, I don't know if they did, and you don't know they didn't. We have the same set of facts, and we are drawing different conclusions, THAT'S OK. One of us will be right, and the other will be wrong, and we'll probably find out in a week or so. No need to get all upset about it.
