Once again. YOU FALSELY REPORTED WHAT THE PROFESSOR SAID.
Ok..I'm calling "shenanigans" on this one. The original link where the BC prof said cold weather could NOT have caused the deflation was this:
http://www.bostonherald.com/news_opinion/local_coverage/2015/01/physicist_cold_weather_couldn_t_have_deflated_patriots_footballs
Note the "couln't have" in the URL. Suddenly the headline says cold weather COULD have changed the pressure. The headline now reads: Physicist: Cold weather could have deflated Patriots footballs. The article has changed. The entire article is different now. I originally excerpted this from that link:
The pressure loss due to the temperature alone cannot be the issue in my mind, said BC physics professor Michael J. Naughton, after plugging temperature data into a formula that calculates pressure loss. If the footballs were notably lower pressure, then the only way it could have happened was if someone went in and stuck a needle in the ball and let two-thirds of the gas out, which means it is now up to the NFL to follow the chain of command but no logical physics can explain the kind of pressure loss theyre talking about."
All of that text is now gone. And I stand accused of false reports. I hereby accuse the BOSTON HERALD of cheating by rescinding an article that was damaging to the pats and replacing it with one trying to vindicate them.

Hmmm. They deliberately lied by altering the position and statements of a renowned professor in their home town?
I have to call BS on that one.

At the least you stand accused of being gullible, because what was attributed in your earlier post isn’t possible.. The ball wouldn’t look like a football except in two dimensional view...maybe. The pressure would be about negative three PSI before the ball collapsed.

I never accused you of false reports. I said you were a victim.
