One of my Avian X decoys leaks. The other doesn't. I would say it is much easier to explain one ball low than 11 out of 12 wouldn't you say? The equipment boys texts is very telling. Brady not cooperating in the investigation is also telling. Now that IS serious!

I think its interesting the league even lets them use regular old air to fill the balls .... atmospheric differences will without question effect the pressure of air in the balls. As much as 1-1.2psi in this case. Seems to me that using air could easily result in every single ball in any given game registering low or in some cases high depending on a few variables .....
Just use nitrogen and remove those variables.

It is fun going back and reading the original post too .... and how there was reference to the balls being 2psi under inflated when that turns out to not be true. Not a single ball measured 2psi low on both gauges used.
Also, how a few people mentioned atmospheric differences causing pressure variation between pre game and halftime and that turning out to be very true.

Reading through more of the report .... there are a lot of holes in the "it was done intentionally" thought process.
The ball the Colts intercepted and had tested registered 11.35, 11.45 and 11.75psi when tested 3 separate times .... all of those numbers fall within the range that the ideal gas law said they should be assuming they started off at 12.5psi prior to the game.
The variation in readings of the different gauges used is also bothersome ....

I have to wonder how big an issue this would have become if the Media hadn't drooled all over themselves droning on and on about it?

Its funny ... the media and fans in the Boston area are just 100% positive that there is no fire even though there is smoke. Media and fans in the Indianapolis area are just 100% positive there is fire without question.
Be interesting to see what Goodell does ....

As for Brady refusing to give up his cell phone .... I do not agree with the premise "if you have nothing to hide just let them search you". Never have and never will. Not for a football scandal. Not for anything on earth.

What's going to be fun is watching golden boy sit at home for a couple games thinking about what he's done. Now THAT's going to be fun!

I keep hearing people say, "Well, the Colts game was a blowout so it's OK that the Pats cheated."
Priceless logic.
They cheated, they've cheated before, it seems to be part of the culture there. As far as I'm concerned all of the Patriots SB wins need an asterisk beside them.

Better get a good supply of *** then; I firmly believe all teams have cheated at some time.

Yep.
The only question is does Goodall see enough in the report to do anything to Brady or the team. I doubt he'll be calling any Colts fans to ask their opinion on the matter....

What they really should do is just ask the COWBOY fans.....May have to hit them on the back a few times so they can cough up them CROW feathers from the playoffs, But they should have entertaining insight.

Listening to Mike and Mike on way to work. They are talking about a report that the league is considering a YEAR LONG suspension for Brady!!! I nearly drove off the road with glee! I can't believe that will actually happen, but just the pure notion just made my Friday!
