NFL might be planning to release "a summary" of PSI findings

TeamFirst · Jan 18, 2016

My opinion is 1 year isn't going to cut it sample size wise, it would have to be 3 years plus.

I don't think there were enough cold raw rainy days this season and when you take out the warm weather and dome teams your starting to look very small.

If they release any data at all it will be BS.

Well, we should all probably care because the NFL is obviously going to try and use this as a distraction for the team once again, seeing as how they're choosing to release it in between the AFCCG and the SB.

You're really telling me that they couldn't have waited another couple of weeks? C'mon. This is the sabotage job that we've all been patiently waiting for--part deux. It's truly unbelievable.

My guess is that the NFL had the balls pumped up to 13 inside at room temperature, pregame.

Teams then played with the footballs outside in the cold for a half.

Then they took them back inside. But not for immediate pressure measurement, rather to let them sit inside for hours while they warm all the way back up to room temperature, while the 2nd half was played with the backup footballs.

Thus… voila! No loss of psi!

Then they will say with a straight face “playing with footballs outside in the cold has no effect on PSI”.

The haters will eat it up.

Those with a brain will say “but wait… PSI goes down with temperature, so they should have measured PSI while the footballs were still cold, as they did in the Jan 2015 AFCCG.

Then those with a brain will be completely ignored.

Now imagine if the NFL was inflating the footballs outdoors before the game. Perfectly plausible. And of course they will be measuring them indoors, but after how long of a wait? None of this kind of essential info will make it to the NFL's "summary".

1 year would have been enough if they systematically measured all games, but I agree with you about it not being enough under the current format.

Heck, I want an explanation of just what the random selection process was. The only 2 games I heard (rumors) of being measured were the Seahawks-Vikings playoff game 9 days ago and the Pats-Titans game.

I am clearly in the minority here, but I cant believe the NFL at this point would release anything about PSI that would make it another story. Goodell has been in hiding all season on every front trying to regain some level of composure, and then in the biggest week of the year hes going to double down against a team possibly going for back to back championships?

If that is the direction this goes, I am literally without words. That would be without a doubt, the dumbest decision his office has made, and that is saying something. Last year was a total cluster and almost cost the man his job. Roger dodger is all about self preservation, no way he risks putting himself in dangers way again, or do anything that could effect the focus of the game.

Many will disagree and given the history, with good reason. I just cant think of a PR company in the world that would recommend this as a strategy. It isnt like last year where they had no idea how to respond, and totally muddled it from the beginning. They have had 12 months to come up with a plan of attack to put an end to this. The league cant allow back to back superbowls to be about a ludicrous side stories. No company, not even one run by Roger Dodger is that dumb.

I hope.

I completely agree. No good can come from putting this story back in the national focus in the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl, regardless of what the PSI results are. Constantly rehashing controversies, either real or imagined, is bad for business.

The controversy will be rehashed in the beginning of March when the appeals court has oral arguments in the Brady case. So they may not care about rehashing it at the beginning of February.

In other news, the NFL announced today they are considering publishing a comprehensive study that shows no link between CTE and playing football.

But first they will release the investigation by Ted wells citing exponents experiments that prove more likely than not the world is flat. The league will be suspending the Pope because he was more likely than not generally aware that God was flattening it.

Quoting @Deus Irae from last year: "Have you seen Goodell's work lately?"

------------------

I agree that it wouldn't be a good look for business, but neither was anything that they did last season. We'll see if they learned anything, but I'm very skeptical.

Either they cooked the numbers or they are about to drop the lawsuit, give us our draft pick back and give Brady an apology.

Hmmmm, which is it...

Cooked numbers without a doubt

Well it sure as hell isn't anything close to the other scenario which @blackglass3 suggested, that's for sure, but I think he threw out that unbelievable scenario on purpose to prove that exact point.

I think its hilarious that the organizations/people who were someway involved with deflategate had such a disastrous season.Poor A. Rodgers
who had a bad year(for him)because he couldn't sneak the 16PSI footballs past the refs,The Texans owner whose team was humiliated,
The Jets for well being the Jets.

No, those with a brain will be called deniers and conspiracy theorists.

I don't give shyt if they release a report that looks negative towards the Pats between now and the SB because it will be blatantly obvious the league is trying to further damage NE. I say keep poking the bear you stupid pricks. Go for it! And we will see you on the podium in Santa Clara!

Gronkowski123 · Jan 19, 2016

the numbers will be cooked

you can bet their propaganda machines ( espn ) will cover this 24-7. so sick of this garbage

If true, get ready for them to lie their asses off and deny physics known since the 17th century. Yes, temp affects pressure in everything in the universe, but footballs.

Halifax_Pats_Fan · Jan 19, 2016

If no 'gate' can be pinned on the Patriots this week then this story will get legs and be spun negatively towards Brady and NE, as if they were guilty...then the general public will take it from there and the torches will be lit again..
