Nothing...The while story stinks...an over inflated ball will be minutely heavier than an under inflated ball..."weighing" with a pressure gauge...maybe.weighing air.. what? How much does a pound of air weigh anyhow?
Yet us filing a tampering grievance sees little play...True. Either way, it's still a shame that one guy can make up a story and the entire world will run with it without waiting to see what's going on.
I'm seriously a bit surprised that the bar has been set so low.
Hey now...AV shanked that kick. Nevermind it was into a wind (flags straight towards him, the wind was doing this at both ends much of the night), from 50 yds out, and AV struggles from there in a dome...I recall that first kick by Gost kicking the ball very deep in the endzone...at least early in the game.
And per Mythbusters the pressure in the footballs is optimized for maximum distance, if i recall correctly. Anymore or less pressure and the footballs lose distance for both passes and kicks.
they definitely deflated luck's balls. they hardly weighed anything by the end of the game.

I dont know how trusting this guy is, but he is saying that league is investigating the Patriots for deflating footballs. They said they weighed the footballs and such. Giardi retweeted it also.
And what did they have to say about this? Every place "reporting" this is just siting bob Kravitz. ...has anyone else actually reported this?Aaaand here it comes on Mike and Mike....we'll see what they say about it. What a fing joke
