    One ball that was 2 PSI under, correct. First of all, I'm not saying that I trust this report. I don't trust any of them. But working under the assumption that this report is accurate, it is interesting that the one ball that was 2 PSI below the limit (& 1 pSI below all the others) was the one that was handled by the Colts and turned in as evidence when they (reportedly) first brought these accusations to the attention of the NFL. The other thing worth mentioning is that numerous sources have stated that it is not unusual for a ball to be found defective or outside of the allowed limits during a game. That ball is usually just replaced and nothing ever comes of it. The only reason this instance gained any traction is because there were (reportedly) multiple balls outside of the limits.

    CBS is reporting this morning that the balls were never even inspected with a gauge before the game, and were passed despite being under-inflated. The contradicts just about everything that has been reported up to this point. But yeah, i'm sure you have extraordinary paranormal fact-checking abilities, and know exactly what happened and couldn't possibly be jumping to conclusions because of your bias.

    There isn't single report that goes along with the natural reasons for deflation. Even if we choose to believe the 1 report that says there was only 1 ball 2PSI under, we have make the assumption that it happened to be a faulty ball that just happened to get stuck with NE who had the other footballs which were also under league regulations.

    It doesn't pass the smell test. As much as I believe the NFL is fallible, I don't believe this would even be an investigation if it was only 1 ball 2PSI under while the rest were only 1 PSI under if it is a commonly known fact that NFL footballs deflate 1PSI in those conditions.

    and science, which is called science because it tests the consistency of physical events accurately, has an easy explanation for why the Colt footballs were able to retain their pressure. Right, goats? And yes, reports stated that the Colts footballs were measured. Not having been there, I cannot, of course, say for certain.

    Actually CBS in Boston reported some guy named Rich who apparently has a radio show in Boston said that somebody told him the balls were not measured for inflation. That's like saying some guy named Ali in Baghdad said somebody told him they were not responsible for a terrorist bombing.

    One ball: ok, things happen.
    Three balls: curious…
    Five balls: what's going on?
    Twelve balls: The New England Patriots.

    So to those defending the pats and claiming it is weather related, please explain how the colts balls were properly inflated and the pats weren't. And also explain how 11 of their balls were underinflated, not all 12. So one was unaffected by these weather conditions...

    Oh no you haven't been brought up to speed. Apparently since the NFL announceed that they tested the Colts balls and they were in compliance, some new information has been privy to Patriots fan boards that says the measurements of atmospheric pressure and air temperature could have made the Colts balls stay the same even though they were in the same stadium and were taken into the same restroom by the same Patriots piss boy who no doubt just licked Tom Brady's balls vigorously for 90 seconds because he wanted a taste of New England clam chowder flavored with awesome. Ball boy salivajism combined with Brady awesome heats a particular Wilson football to the point that it shrinks with fear and happiness when it gets the chance to win a Patriots game. Poor ball. It didn't know any different.

    He probably doesn't know that Nike makes football jerseys either. Jizzelle has him programmed for fashion and nothing else. He was very forthcoming about how long it took him to do his hair

    I don't yet why Patriots fans try to argue with the facts. It's pretty obvious they did it it's more so of a question for how long.

    There's many ways to defend it and I've heard much better responses than trying to argue the facts of the case and presenting Boston local news story that are pin propaganda doing the same thing. Why not defend it in another way than arguing they didn't do something they most clearly did?

    Take a trip over to patsfans. There are plenty of conspiracies there. From the Colts switching balls with the Pats to set them up to take the fall, to Kensil, now Director of Football Operations for the NFL, an ex-Jet employee with a grudge against Belichick.
