in addition, let's just bear something in mind ----- I think it's highly improbable anybody involved understood a football loses psi due to temp, how long it takes to warm up when brought indoors, and all the rest of it.
I also doubt they realized the gauges were reading 0.4 psi apart until they got through a good chunk of the balls.
so, basically, from their pov, there were at least a couple balls that had 'magically' lost around 2 psi of air, and that seems to indicate some kind of chicanery post inspection.
who knows what they were thinking once the colts' balls started coming in light, but I notice they cut that short pretty quick without much concern for any 'unfair advantage' that might be gained by the colts by these magic footballs.
somebody leaked the phoney leaks, however that happened, and the league must have realized what weather does to a ball at some point, as I assume they refused to correct things in order to avoid looking like clowns.
that's one of the most damning bits of evidence in all this, to me, is the league deliberately 'obstructed justice'.
