How so? The report didn't add anything new to the story.
Ravens were mad, had some sort of hunch, probably tipped off Pagano, who then tipped off the league, and the league wanted to check the ball pressure at halftime.
If the Pats fiddled with the balls (wow I can't believe I even have use that in a sentence...) after being approved by the refs, then yes, they are in deep, deep trouble and I can't defend them anymore
But if they did nothing wrong, and it was temperature based, then you can't pin them with anything.
Sour grapes. Sad part is, the AFC isn't getting any better next year and the league will be seeing the Pats in the same position once again: winning.
Not due to temperature, based on all the expert-math-science-physics folks. Worst is 1/2 PSI drop based on the conditions that night. That still does not account for 1-1/2 PSIs. Also, all 11 footballs would not uniformly drop exactly that amount.
Never the less, everyone brace for the penalty by end of week.
Another "tainted asterisk" next to BillB and TomB names.. Sigh.
