After reading Don Yee's response I wondered if we could put together a list of discrepancies with the Wells report or with the way it has been interpreted by radio/tv shows.
My questions and thought regarding the pressure readings:
1. Two different gauges were used during the Cots game. One with a Logo one without. During testing the Wells report indicates that the gauges had reading variations between them of + .3-.4 psi and -.07.
- the report mentions the possibility that the upper end gauge (which would have read the pressure fraudulently higher) could have been used when initially testing the footballs before the game and using the lower reading gauge when testing them at half time? If so then that would have added a minimum of .47 to the discrepancy of the air pressures plus the Ideal Gas law (-1.35) plus wet weather conditions (-.2 to -.3) would bring that total possible pressure loss to a minimum of 1.77 psi to a possible 1.9 -2.07.
12.5 - 2.07 = 10.43
The lowest reading found on one of the footballs during half time was 10.5 psi.
2. The text messages I see utilized by the media:
McNally: Tom sucks...im going make that next ball a ****in balloon
Jastremski: Talked to him last night. He actually brought you up and said you must have a lot of stress trying to get them done...
Jastremski: I told him it was. He was right though...
Jastremski: I checked some of the balls this morn... The refs ****ed us...a few of then were at almost 16 Jastremski: They didnt recheck then after they put air in them
McNally: **** tom ...16 is nothing...wait till next sunday
Jastremski: Omg! Spaz
Doesn't that conversation look as though they prepared the footballs prior to the game and they were complaining that the refs inflated the footballs too high? Doesn't that also infer that they did not tamper with the footballs during the game and found out the pressure the next day?
Okay, those are a few of the questions I have. Please add any of your own. Please check for any mistakes in my assumptions. Thanks.
