Watch out for the NFL* shenanigans today. Footballs will be measured during today's game

[JMC00]

 

[Galeb]

I wonder if they'll check the PSI after weighing them.

 

[blackglass3]

Is it cold there? If so we'll never hear the numbers. If not, I expect Mort to get them leaked by Sunday night.

 

[goheels22002]

PV=nRT

 

[FCB02062]

40° at 1pm, 40° at 4 pm

Suppose to be 35-40 degrees all game.

 

[Big-T]

Same ref as the AFCCG too, isn't it?

Oh yeah,I totally trust the NFL* to truthfully announce the findings

 

[Uncle Rico]

"Weighed." oy.

The "before" should be in the officials' room, before they're brought outdoors, right? Not just as the game starts, after they've been outside a bit?

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

Same ref as the AFCCG too, isn't it?

no, Walt Colman is the ref, not Walt Anderson

The league clearly has No idea what they're doing

 

[Mark.]

Well, that should add some drama to today's game. Can't wait to see how they spin it.

 

[JMC00]

And both team's balls should be measured at the same exact time at HT and post-game. Not Patriots first and then Titans 10 minutes later.

 

[turkeyneck]

"Weighed"!? I'm gobsmacked that at this date, after all the discussion and debate, people are -still- this completely ignorant.

 

[JMC00]

Chances staff from both teams is present at each measurement?

 

[ChessToCheckers]

I don't trust the NFL* AT ALL, especially on this. Their stated "random procedure" was incomplete and unscientific.

I expect the worst from this, with made up numbers unfavorable to the Pats followed by the usual leaks from their captive media outlets.

I'm sure many of us on this board are a bit disappointed that the Pats didn't get out in front of this tactic from Week #1.

I would have like to see something like this to help seize the narrative:

The Pats should have been doing this under video surveillance throughout the season with "test balls" (painted bright red) on the sidelines in plain sight for all the world to see. Several balls with calibrated pressure gauges attached (cal certificates traceable to the National Bureau of Standards) in plastic under each gauge. During home games the surveillance feed should be in the corner of the jumbo-tron throughout the game.

Hold onto your hats, everybody! Let's see how far the NFL* goes with this.

 

[RobertWeathers]

no, Walt Colman is the ref, not Walt Anderson

Yes- as soon as Walt Coleman retires hes going in the Patriots Hall of Fame.

Walt Anderson goes in a shallow grave in Tenean Beach.

And both team's balls should be weighed at the same exact time at HT and post-game. Not Patriots first and then Titans 10 minutes later.

Not to be pedantic but weighed is incorrect. The mass/weight of the air does not change.
They measure the pressure in pounds per square inch.

 

[Mark.]

So where are the other measurements that have been taken this season? I haven't heard a thing about them measuring psi.

 

[alvinnf]

They are counting on getting favorable results by choosing a game that has a similar temp but not wet.
They are pathetic!
