Holy cow, look how flat that ball is! Any team playing with it would win 100-0!
Tom Brady would kill to play with that ball.

So you're saying it was much colder on our sidelines. Ok. That's believable.
-It was learned that the NFL was actually watching the Patriots the whole time in a sting operation and still have no evidence.
Not only that he's assuming the Colts balls were inflated witg the same temperature air ours were. If they were inflated with 50 degree air brought inside for a quick pressure test then back outside then of course they would lose no psi.You are assuming both sides started at the exact same PSI. A questionable assumption.
It makes perfect sense if they were filled with outside cold air at the half. The warm air inside the ball loses pressure as it cools. Warm air in ball before the game loses pressure as it cools.I think what he is saying is that the Pats balls were refilled after the first half and did not drop again. Which doesn't make sense either, but who knows. These guys have made so much **** up at this point.
Absolute pressure drops that much not guage pressure. Do you know the difference?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.
No he's read something he doesn't understand without knowing he doesn't understand it and his minds made up.Read the article in the boston globe in which a Phyiscist Schmaltz says it would take 30 minutes for a 1 or 2 PSI drop in those the games temperatures
Wait what?

Maybe not "learned" but more than implied. The initial story broke that the Colts became suspicious when Jackson intercepted the ball. That later debunked (by the way, will that writer be suspended for the Super Bowl for citing a false source?) It was then reported, and apparently the real story, that actually the NFL was planning to investigate the balls at halftime and were suspicious of this prior to the game. So, you are telling me that the Patriots were not being monitored by the NFL? If they weren't, isn't there some kind of entrapment law that protects people from being setup? Meanwhile, the Colts are okay with them playing the first half with underinflated balls, a gigantic advantage I may add, obviously, so long as they would be busted?
He has obviously started with a conclusion in mind and evolved a tortured justification to support it.
I'd bet they were NEVER checked with a pressure gauge before the game.
