It's easy, and only takes a few moments.If this is "it" - although I doubt they'd be able to prove it - if it were admitted to I'd be curious if there would be any punishment. From the rules I've read, it would clearly be within the rules but also clearly trying to get around them.
if it was proven.....i bet they would punish them for violating the spirit of the rule....if not the letter of it......

The phrase "deliberate action" in the NFL press release is a clue that points in that direction. ......

Enough of this crap.
Fine Brady and Rodgers $25,000 each and let's get on with the Super Bowl.
How is that cheating? What in that example would violate any rule?This probably is what we've been doing. Still cheating and we'll have to stop, but impossible for the NFL to prove most likely. Either gonna be a 25,000 fine, like Marshawn Lynch got for gold cleats, or nothing at all. Kraft's good relationship with the NFL and other owners may be helpful as well.
Brady has denied any knowledge of manipulation of the footballs. Why would you fine him and taint his legacy. Just to move in or are you deciding he is a liar?Enough of this crap.

What conditions the balls were filled under would not be a violation.The phrase "deliberate action" in the NFL press release is a clue that points in that direction. It certainly could encompass any kind of sauna theory.
Or Cretinist media, led by one and same.....Creationist media, led by Ron Borges.

Yeah, really.
I didn't get the impression that Florio was "backpedaling" in the least.
All he did was come up with another theory as to how we cheated.
“The NFL rules are very much ambiguous really because they’re not specifying a temperature. They’re just specifying a pressure, and temperature makes all the difference in the world about how you make that measurement. Us science geeks picked up on it.”.
Compared to him, he was right....Remember that Gregg Doyel hayseed last week from the Indy Star going on and on about how arrogant and stuck up New Englanders are about their "higher intelligence"?
Yeah.
