“And whether the temperature changes caused the footballs used by the Patriots filled to 12.5 PSI to go out of spec.”

Strictly speaking, there is no spec. The NFL rules refer to “pounds,” not to pounds per square inch. However, a ball inflated to 12 1/2 to 13 1/2 pounds would be almost as heavy as a shot put.

OH! This is wonderful.

If you can’t write a good rule ... too bad.
