Ted Wells' Assistant: Doesn't Matter Which Gauge Was Used
From the Appendix of the Wells Report:
TRANSLATION: if the logo gauge was used pregame, there is no statistical discrepancy between the Patriots and Colts balls.
Apparently, Ted Wells' assistant thinks Peter King, Michael Silver, John Clayton, Adam Schefter, and a host of others are not only mind-numbingly stupid, but they also don't know how to read.
From the Appendix of the Wells Report:
All of these factors were found to contribute in varying degrees to changes in the internal pressure of footballs. However, given the magnitude of the temperature change that would have affected the footballs at halftime when they were brought from the field to the locker room, a key factor in explaining the difference in measurements between the Patriots and Colts footballs is timing; that is, the change in pressure with time as the footballs were brought from a colder environment (the field) to a warmer environment (the Officials Locker Room) at halftime.
If the Logo Gauge was used pre-game, the Patriots average halftime measurement will match the pressures predicted by the transient curves (with the Colts halftime measurements also matching the predicted range), but only if the testing of the Patriots balls began immediately once the footballs arrived in the Officials Locker Room at halftime and took no more than 4 minutes, and only if the majority of the Patriots game balls were wet.
