Need Patsfans help for Deflategate speech.

Mark Greenaway has a site that exposes flaws in Exponent's findings:

This was more than a little over my head, but he also provides photographic evidence of how Exponent tried to make the two gauges look as similar as possible. That's a lot more relatable to people than different warming rates.

Also, to build on something Upstater posted, the McNally and Jastremski texts only seem suspicious if you assume that manual deflation took place (which is what Wells and the NFL did.) When you look at them from the point of view that there was no deflation, which is what the science shows, you can't conclude that they are talking about illegally declating footballs.

Sorry, skimmed through (have my own deadlines looming). But I would take out comments about the drop in PSI like "can" and "could" be accounted for by the ideal gas law, and instead refer to it as an "inescapable conclusion".

Thanks a ton for all your help. I'm wrapping it up in Word now. Appreciate it as always.

Go Pats!

Dude, procrastinate much?

Whatever he puts out will still be more thorough and better-researched than the ****ing Wells hit job.

Okay, back to point 2:

The wells report shows that 8 of 11 balls were underinflated what could be accounted for by game conditions (temps, etc.). BUT, this was based on the assumption--HIGHLY SUSPECT--that the PSI was measured by the correct gauge before the game. There were 2 gauges, and one was .35-.5 PSI too high--it was higher than the other one, and the other one was shown to be consistent with other random gauges, suggesting the high one was defective. Now, the refs BEST RECOLLECTION was that they used the HIGH gauge (not knowing it was high at the time) to check the balls pre-game, and they set the balls at the low end of what was permissible (I believe 12.5 PSI, if memory serves). This is the ONLY point that the investigators disregarded the refs best recollection, which they said was otherwise sincere, reliable, etc. etc. (More on that later).......

To me, this is THE key point. I wish Someone would ask Goodell if he is aware that if Walt's memory can be trusted then there is NO evidence that anything at all happened, yet he handed down the harshest penalty in league history. WTF, getting mad thinking about it...

Speech went great. Delivered it like a boss. Thanks for the quick input. Your aiders and abettors of my procrastination, but I had all of it in my head so I knew I could get away with it with Patsfans as a quick link resource.

Major thanks to everybody who replied. I was up against the clock.

Go Pats.

Needs to be 8 minutes long, so semi-lengthy lol.

An easy way to get around this: just say "Goodell's an azzhole," drop the mike and walk away. That should get you a standing ovation.

I would not reinvent the wheel all that much instead use the first and second legal briefs by Brady's team and focus on the issues raised there..

If nothing else it will give you a frame of reference outlining how ludicrous this whole matter is..

Link to 2nd brief..

Honestly, before I saw your fine print I had already started to type, "...or in the clink..."

Bring props

1) Football
2) PSI gauge
3) Freezer

Gauge football.....pop it in the freezer.....wait 7:45 seconds....regauge football
Then accept your A+ graciously by singing.....

All I do is win win win no matter what
Got money on my mind I can never get enough
And every time I step up in the buildin'
Everybody hands go up
And they stay there
And they say yeah
And they stay there
Up down, up down, up down
'Cause all I do is win win win
And if you goin' in put your hands in the air
Make 'em stay there

If your prop budget is substantial, hire these guys for support....
(maybe hand out some hand rolled red, white and blue Blounts)
