The NFL screwed the Colts during the Deflategate game

I've been reading Steph Stradley's blog http://www.stradleylaw.com/deflategate-legal-faqs-settlement/ and one of her commenters made an intriguing point: All the Patriot balls were re-inflated to 13 psi at halftime, but the Colts balls were not, and we now know that they were also deflated. And while we all saw how well Brady did with the inflated balls, we also got to see how poorly Luck did in the second half with deflated balls. Karma is indeed a *****.

Don't give the haters any ideas. ...if Brady gets cleared this will be their next argument. Lol

I think this is more a case of the Colts screwing themselves.

More accurately, to borrow from Robin Williams' cameo in Dead Again:

"You burn somebody in one game, they get a chance to burn you back in future games. It's the karmic credit plan. Buy now, pay forever."

The Colts footballs were naturally deflated, like every football in NFLhistory has been, when outside in cold weather. They were not screwed.

The Patriots were not only screwed by the frame job, they were screwed again by the halftime over-inflation. The NFL applied the 12.5-13.5 standard to footballs that were not at room temperature. Thus the pats played the 2nd half with abnormally over-inflated footballs

Of course, in restating the rule for this coming year after establishing football handling procedures, the NFL STILL failed to acknowledge that the 12.5-13.5 standard applies only to footballs not at room temperature. In other words, specifying a desired pressure without a temperature being specified is meaningless.

Just proves that Goodell is SO under the influence of Bob Kraft.
