I was not addressing his politics...

Gay-Lussac’s Law (P1T1=P2T2) or the Ideal Gas Law (PV=nRT) will provide the answer. The first is easiest, and with out explaining all the conversions, going from room temp to outdoor temp of 50, the pressure is reduced by less than half a pound

Ah, but the strawberries! That's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes, but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, and with geometric logic, that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox did exist! And I'd have produced that key if they hadn't pulled Caine out of action!

The Pats cheated. They would have won anyway. But they cheated (again) pure and simple. They will lose some draft picks next year. Other than that, they’ll get away with in relatively unscathed.

Replay the game. Yeah right. It would probably be a nail biter because of the air pressure in the footballs. Nobody who has ever played the game past JV knows when a ball is flat, The Refs handle the ball between EVERY play. EVERY play. They wouldn’t have noticed a ball that was so altered it would have been an advantage? I know...it’s a Ref conspiracy!

What I wonder is why they think they have to cheat to win?

Belichick is OCD about every minute detail. Anything for a "competitive edge". Makes me wonder about what they haven't been caught doing.

11 of 12 balls under inflated. They cheated. Like I say, they would have crushed them without cheating.

I know almost immediately an under-inflated ball. Makes a huge difference depending upon individual palm-hand-finger size measurements. Receiving also, depending upon the gloved receiver, hand receiver, finger-glove, bare hand,
and the body compression receiver.

Even more, not mentioned yet, is that the conditions were wet and rainy. Handle a regulation (league), ball, a wet ball, in different conditions, especially a fully (hard) compression ball vs. a softer supple % inflated ball, taylored into hand size. spiral technique favoring included.

“.. i hope Marshawn gets to wear his gold cleats... “

They fined him awhile ago for wearing some cleats painted with Skittles. This time they were going to suspend him for the game if he wore the gold cleats. I read that he painted over the gold leaf. I would think he would have a few spares in the locker room - but perhaps he had gotten used to them. Or - it was to spite the rule, and he was still able to wear them.

Part of me thinks it is entertaining to see his antics, and part of me wishes he would just act normal and go by his contract. One of the local Seattle radio guys was saying that early on Lynch was a good interview and a talkative, likable guy. Some of his bios on NFL show a respectful and interesting guy.

The one that is really surprising to me is Sherman - very smart both on and off the field.

You’re welcome! After previous proven cheating with “spy-gate”, a verdict is not difficult to reach. This one is walking like a duck and quacking like a duck. They’re going to lose at least one draft pick. I’ll bet you a beer on it.

I’m in Washington State and I despise Pete Carroll....he cheated at USC....his players use dirty tactics in games that are never called.....the big wigs in the NFL KNOW exactly who they’ll allow to win.....sadly, its a done deal...

he is... i like that about him... he is deliberate... he as a football player, i cannot stand because he is really good and on the opposing team... but i can appreciate him... i can especially appreciate him when i take into account his background... i will like him some day after he retires... i now like Aikman, Emmett Smith and Jimmy Johnson... :)

foosbal is such a big money making scam. They should all play with the same ball, kicking passing throwing,etc ump controls the objects used in the sport, not the teams.

"Both teams played with the same ball, so what is the big deal?"

Nope. That is not how it works.

The Home team provides 24 balls the visiting team provides 12. They each play with their own except when a play involves a turnover of course. But as soon as play stops on a turnover whoever is on offense has one of their balls put into play.

Do they use their own spoons?

LOL, I wondered how long it would take for someone to have a good laugh over that one.
