Nice try. The Pats footballs had dropped 2 psi from the pregame check. Even if the Colts started at 13.5, if they also dropped 2 psi "naturally" they would have tested below the legal limit. There is no natural way 11 of 12 Pats footballs dropped 2 psi in one half, while 0 of 12 Colts footballs dropped at most - being generous - 1 psi. No chance. So don't act like everyone else is ignorant and prejudiced.

Again, 11 of 12 Patriot footballs dropped at least 2 psi from the pregame check until halftime. ZERO of 12 Colts footballs did not. Same natural conditions with one difference - one set of 12 balls was on the Patriots sideline and the other set of 12 on the Colts sideline.

The Patriots artificially and intentionally deflated their footballs.

Can you read?

The claim is that the Pats balls dropped 1 PSI from the air temperature and 1 PSI from cooling after being rubbed down by the equipment managers. So that’s only 1 PSI from temperature.

If the Colts did not prep their balls before giving them to the refs, the balls would only be expected to drop 1 PSI due to the temperature difference. So they would have dropped less, despite being exposed to the same weather.

Prove this is not the case. Tell me exactly what the pressure of the Patriots balls were before the game. Tell me what the Colts balls were pressurized to before the game, and exactly what they read afterwards. With links to these numbers.

But you can’t. You’re just making up your “facts” to suit your prejudice.
