A couple of problems they have been ignoring throughout these tests. First is the fact that the balls are not just laying around on the wet cold ground. They are insulated and dry inside a zippered sack. On the sideline where there are heaters in place to protect the players that aren't currently on the field. The ball that is currently being used is constantly being dried and used. 50 % of the time it is being held by a player or a referee. Also, why didn't the Colts balls deflate? And for that matter, the initial complaints were registered by the Colts at the game held on November 16th in the Indianapolis dome. |

Listen, it's scientifically proven not to be an issue, FFS. Stop your whining. I've generated a mathematical analysis of the situation, which I'm too busy to explain right now, but graphed in 3-dimensions clearly demonstrates that there was no tampering:

By the way, here are the bags they are stored in: ![]() I would say that A) they look fairly well insulated and B) An equipment manager could definitely access all of the balls within 90 seconds. |

Was the second round of measurements done by the NFL performed outside? I would have thought not. |

Good point. The other question that I have not seen asked is: What about the Colts' balls? (sit down, D'Oh, you know what I meant) Edited by George K, Jan 30 2015, 04:06 PM.

They obviously cheated by overinflating. That's the only way they would be normal when measured in the cold and wet. |

Well, I remember enough physics to know that if I had made an error like that on an exam, it would have been marked WRONG. |

I'm guessing he hasn't had to do any actual sums for a long time. He's basically a professional talker. Presumably he has a team of less attractive people to do the boring work behind the scenes. |

He's demonstrably not an idiot - but as some here know, I spoke about not loving him anymore recently on facebook. He's a smart guy - hard to debate that. But he's been compared one too many times to Carl Sagan for his own good - he's fogotten science in favor of fame. Still a great communcicator, but not so much a scientist anymore. Carl Sagan never got to that point. |

Probable and Probably In either case Jim McNally and John Jastremski are now and forever heroic figures in New England. They deserve a nice gofundme.com. |

If Tom was aware, it's a major penalty, since he lied to the NFL. It could even mean 'ol Bill gets suspended for a year, because he's ultimately responsible. Prediction: Tom Terrific is suspended 4 games, and two draft picks are forfeited. |
