Listening to the replay now. Love the My Cousin Vinny reference; it's an awesome scene.



Low-quality, regrettably, but I didn't quickly find a better version. It gets good at 3:30.
 
God dell can't fine them. As far as he knows Every ball in a cold weather game is underinflated. They just don't check them. Or havent. They just checked this one and got an introduction to pv=nrt.
 
Just watched the press conference. Amazing job by Mr. Belichick. Outstanding.
 
Anytime you feel even a little bit optimistic about the human race, a quick trip to the PFT comments section will put you in check. God, the level of stupid there is just incredible.

Yeah, eugenics ......
 
Well the issue is GODell will probably ignore this and still fine the **** out of the Pats

No way. There is zero chance that any substantial fine would stand, unless they have direct evidence of tampering - after the press conference I'm sure there's no such evidence (unless it gets fabricated).
 
Belichick's recap:
1) You can't tell the difference between 1 PSI and 2 PSI you can't tell consistently.
2) The process of "preparing" the ball raises the ball PSI by 1 PSI.
3) The team does NOT add any air to the balls before or after they are prepped.
4) The officials are the ones who set the pressure of the football. The team ASKS for 12.5psi, but official can set it anywhere between 12.5 and 13.5 at his discretion.
5) Through their testing, the Patriots found that taking the ball from the controlled climate of the Refs locker-room to outside and letting the ball reach equilibrium, drops the PSI by 1.5 PSI based on the conditions seen in last Sunday's game.
6) Going from the game conditions to inside and letting the ball return to equilibrium increased the pressure about .5 PSI.

Net loss is still 1PSI.
 
This is replaying on espn news now. In it's entirety

Or lost like in spygate
 
Well, Media people, you finally got what you've wanted all these years. You got Belichick's full attention and you got him to speak to you at length and in detail.

How'd that work out for you?

A press conference held by the modern-day Lombardi to talk, essentially, about air has the American news media riveted. This is happening.
