Hate to do new thread but need help. Saw Kravitz on TV tonight and his reasoning why Patriots cheated was that the Colts balls did not deflate. This was it. It was like a religious belief and he could not be reasoned with. I have heard this from numerous haters and we will be hearing this for the next decade unless it is killed now.

We all know this is scientifically impossible if the Colts balls were inside at room temp as were the Patriots. I really feel we need to stress that the Colts balls were tampered with if they did not deflate as required by the laws of science. Contact HeadSmart Labs @HeadSmartLabs and all our media contacts and ask them to test this. 3 balls, 1 Patriots inside 1 Colts inside and 1 Colts outside. Inside balls left at room temp for an hour, 1 outside ball in 50 degree fridge along with wet towel in fridge which will be our wet ball bag for testing. After an hour, pump the 2 Colts balls to 13.5 PSI and the 1 Patriots ball to 12.5 PSI, wrap all three in the wet towel and put the three in the 50 degree fridge. After 3 hours measure. It will show that the 2 inside balls, both Colts and Patriots dropped by a similar percentage (as long as Neil deGrasse isn't in charge of the math) while the outside ball did far less. It is the laws of science.

If by some chance the NFL or Bob Kravitz wants to claim that the inside Colts ball did not drop PSI this is clear cut proof that the Colts balls were tampered with showing proof of a Colts set up. I hate to set this as a new thread but we have to have this done this week to kill the narrative Bob Kravitz and the haters are spinning. The Colts can either admit their balls were outside or that they were tampered with. These are the only 2 answers I can think of. Please get this narrative out and see if we can get it tested by the media. Please leave up for a couple days as if we don't do now we will regret this for a decade. We are being heard, I guarantee we are making impacts with the media.
 
If you disagree read this from King. 180 degree turn around http://mmqb.si.com/2015/01/27/nfl-deflategate-investigation-patriots/

"[But] what about the Colts footballs? We don’t know their initial pressure, but if we assume that they were the maximum legal pressure of 13.5 psi relative pressure, we can calculate the expected pressure drop. Thus the Colts footballs should have been a final pressure of 12.3 psi."

came out minutes after I wrote this thread. I have been pushing this issue. This also does not factor in the balls being wet which HeadSmart proved further reduced PSI

Couldn't the answer be as simple as the Patriots' balls were exposed to the elements more than the Colts' balls were? After all, the Patriots dominated Time of Possession.

1. Sorry no, they too were outside in the rain, even when the patriots were on O 10 of our balls were doing the same thing theirs were.
2.The answer cant be anything cause no one knows what PSI the colts balls were at the start of the game or hell, no one knows what they what they tested at when the ****show started midgame other then "in range"

Also It's quite possible someone on the colts checked and filled their balls to whatever psi luck wants -outside- before handing them off to the refs .. if that's the case there wouldn't be much of a PSI drop at all, even if he likes them at 13 psi theres no way they would drop below 12.5.

I don't think either team tampered with balls, I think someone with a grudge knew brady liked them @ the min and the temp would put them under min, didnt want to see ne go to the superbowl and figured that the score is close enough that maybe seeing all their balls hauled away midgame would throw ne off balance and help the colts come back. Oh and look, an interception, perfect time for a surprise inspection.

Now who is that x jet thats now in the position to launch something like that on a sideline mid frigging game and also has a grudge against BB? Keep forgetting his name.. maybe it will become a household name real soon.

Thats just my little conspiracy theory tho, probably as accurate as glazer has been lately.

The Colts balls could simply have been colder at pressure test initial.

Why? Because they were stored outside already inflated. No temperature drop means no psi drop.

Ridiculous to say they were tampered with.
 
I appreciate your zealous defense of our team but I honestly don't give a **** anymore if `I have to hear it` for the next decade from a bunch of absolute morons. It was one thing to spend some time here and there clearing the air about Crygate misconceptions, but anyone who is going to obsess over a fantasy involving the Patriots secretly releasing air pressure from footballs is so dumb they should probably be sterilized for the good of humanity.

"Competitive advantage" my ass. If we were accused of "deflating Indy's footballs" it would be us trying to gain a `competitive advantage` because it lowers pass velocity, but when our own are a little low on air it's a `competitive advantage` for grip. Everything about this story is a `fill in your own fantasy` for delusional Patriot haters who just happen to be completely mindless on top of it.

This is so embarrassing in how utterly ******ed it is, from top to #&^#ing bottom, that I really can't even care about the thought or threat of some rival fan bringing it up. If anything, it will present a good opportunity to rip their mental capacity to absolute pieces.

I'm perfectly fine with rival fan bases making complete idiots out of themselves for the next ten years.
 
You are forgetting the essential point that was lost from Belichick's presser: that the Patriots rubbed and prepped the footballs, which caused the temporary, artificial inflation of PSI. This most likely explains the difference. We can assume the Colts are prepared differently, or that they there prepared at a different time and were already at equilibrium (artificial PSI gone) when refs were supposed to check them.

I am sure this is a league witch hint spawned by people who want to get at BB. But that doesn't mean there's an outright conspiracy at work.

This can be important, or completely meaningless, depending upon the timeline.
 
Belichick's preparation explanation only makes sense if the balls retained the heat when being pressure checkef.

In reality a drop from 72 to 50 or so pretty much explains the pressure drop. No preparation explanation needed. He should just said it's physics.

Or maybe even the Colts do the exact same thing and it's moot. And yeah, "the Colts inflated them closer to 13.5" explanation could explain it anyways.

Yep.... We just don't have enough info, and most of what we do have is suspect.
