Your calculation is in error because you used gauge pressure. Try again using absolute pressure and you will get over 1 psi.
Well the end point was that the colts balls were not below the legal limit at halftime. Doesn't say anything about where both started out, which is important for a measurement.
Troy Aikman and Marc Brunnel became the only two QBs to ever play in the NFL this week. I saw a lot of other ones saying something but nobody ran those quotes. And btw... CNN's discussion has now gone from the ball... to the witch hunt for Bill Belichick and clearing up that "spy"gate had nothing to do with spying. They even talked about the Boston Globe's unprecedented retraction for fabricating the Rams practice theory. This is amazing.
You are witnessing exactly what happens to cheaters. You establish very little credibility when you have a history of cheating, especially in a league loved by so many. Simple answer? Your team should have never cheated and just followed the same rules every other team follows.
The desperation is hilarious. The weather, the wet and the cold, only affects New England balls, tho.
May have helped rb's; thier top 2 rb's They that good? Does a deflated ball help them? http://www.nfl.com/player/legarretteblount/497149/careerstats http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/14017/shane-vereen
What PSI does Andrew Luck like and what were the readings on the Colts' balls before the game and halftime? If Luck likes 13.5 PSI and it dropped to 12.5 because of atmosphere, the balls would still be legal.... We need that data to prove this is BS, I doubt the data is there though.
And once again, after all that, the Colts balls which were in the same atmospheric conditions were still legal.
Yeah, and how long did they sit inside before they were measured? It's very simple. If the NFL has no data on temperature they screwed up. Next up - Patriots demand extra first round draft pick as compensation for NFL bungling.
The Patriots are really a national laughingstock. Everyone now calls Belichick Belicheat not just us. I'm sure the first thing people on the street will ask him even Bill Nye the Science Guy is "you lying, bro?"
why because they cheated and were caught? I just saw the statement and he said crap. again basic laws of physics he is at 1 to 1.5 lbs what about the 2 lbs reported..... That said Belli is not behind this Brady is and that is where the blame should fall. I don't expect the coach to know about the football but the qb.......
Belichick said that in their test, once the footballs were on the field over an extended period of time the pressure dropped 1.5 PSI outside. He then said that when they brought the footballs back in after that process and retested them in a controlled environment, then those measurements rose approximately 0.5 PSI to a net of 1PSI lower. He never said how long they waited before they retested them in the controlled environment. The entire halftime break is what, 15 minutes? I would imagine that the officials got to testing the footballs right away, or shortly after halftime began. Wouldn't you? I'm not sure, but I would imagine that it would take longer than that short amount of time for the footballs to raise back up 0.5PSI. If that is true, then we would be dealing with the environment causing a PSI difference of more than 1 PSI, [somewhere between 1.1 to 1.5 depending on how long they had to readjust] which would make the Colts footballs under the league limit even if they were at the max of 13.5PSI. You could argue that the Colts were not following the rules by over inflating their footballs, but supposedly the officials checked them 2 hours before the game and were within the limits.
