What happens this winter

From early on thought the answer to this brouhaha would be to do a study of footballs/climate for the upcoming season to assess the impact of weather and use on the pressure of footballs.. but that would have been too easy, the NFL prefers to pay millions for crappy science..

This could have been done by paying some college kids to monitor and log football pressure or something like that...

I understand your point, but I think that those measurements are always going to have to come via the NFL. In other words, CBS isn't going to be able to measure the footballs, so they'll be forced to report the NFL's "findings."

Goodell and the NFL aren't going to be able to turn back now. They'll be doubling down like madmen on this specific issue.\.

Kraft starting on the Oct 29 night game and the other 3 reg season home games plus home playoff games, should prepare a game ball, to 12.5 psi, show the temp in the room the ball was inflated in.
show the process in the stadium. Bring the ball thermometer and pressure gauge outside to the field, with a camera continuing to document the process, and displaying the procession to the big screen in the stadium.

Place the ball on a pedestal with the measuring equipment, so everyone will know that the same eq was used for the entire time. Display the temp at halftime on the reference thermometer, show the anticipated psi as per the IGL, then measure the psi using the reference gauge, displaying the measurement on the big screen in the stadium. Compare measurement to the IGL.

Perhaps return the ball inside at the end on the game again on the big screen show the temp in the room, take the psi measurement and display on the big screen as the fans are leaving, announce all measurements on the PA system,

Have Stacy James issue a press release after each game.

Who here actually believes that Bob "Vichy" Kraft would allow any such thing as this?
Really?
Bob is great at glad handed bloviation. Words. But when it comes to taking substantive action...
