It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Someone called into WEEI with a brilliant idea, hook a measuring device to a ball in the cold then display the data live on the scoreboard to show what happens in the cold and rain. Would love to see the Pats do it in a late year prime time game just to f with the NFL.
Hope they do it every game. Balls down on the field and display them on the jumbotron at points during the game for the fans delight.
I doubt they're worrying about becoming ISO certified.
No. But there's some individual who's supposed to get it right, and if he doesn't he's going to take the fall so the league can pretend they really care.

It's difficult to find reliable gauges.
http://www.amazon.com/Tachikara-GAUGE-Ball-Pressure-Gauge/dp/B00099YJR2Its so hard to find a good gauge these days. Maybe amazon has them?

NFL has issued a memo to equipment managers apologizing for the fact that they still haven't gotten their new pressure gauges, per source.
This must have had such an incredible impact on the competitiveness of all pre-season games played so far. It's amazing! All games must be cancelled until this is done since it is ABSOLUTELY VITAL TO THE COMPETITIVE BALANCE IN THE GAME OF FOOTBALL.
Oooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...they ran out of money to pay for the new gauges after paying Wells and the army of lawyers...
The League has gone so far down the rabbit hole on this that they are realizing they are going to have difficulty maintaining this sham that measuring the air pressure in footballs with a cheap $15 gauge is an exact science. They know that their year long study of measuring air pressure is going to expose it.
This is why I expect that we will never see this study or we will see a study with doctored results.
Give them a break. It is not easy to find pressure gauges that show that footballs don't lose pressure in the cold.
