The NFL has been playing for about 100 years and now suddenly this is a problem. Give me a break. ----- Your comment is quite ironic. Balls have been well out of specs at least since there were indoor equipment rooms. Here's what you'd expect if you knew how footballs work, based on the cited 12.5 PSI starting point. Note that after early November footballs were almost never within specs for outdoor games. The NFL, however, as they admitted, were completely unaware of this very obvious point. 3. So-Called “Deflated” Footballs Are Common In NFL Games Here, the group noted that the NFL has admitted to now understanding the Ideal Gas Law. The group then looked at the temperature for 10,000 NFL games dating back to 1960 and determined that if footballs were inflated in a 70-degree room: –Footballs inflated to 12.5 PSI before the game would have dropped below the NFL’s allowable limit in approximately 82 percent of every NFL game since 1960.

“The NFL, however, as they admitted, were completely unaware of this very obvious point.”

Great chart.

But I am afraid it is wasted on many of the people in the forum. The are incapable of understanding basic physics. Or at least they pretend that to be so.

As for your statement about no one in the NFL understanding basic physics, I do not believe that. The NFL is a multi-billion dollar organization. You can be sure that they have access to knowledge of the simple basics of the Ideal Gas Law.

The fraudulent leaks, the ignoring of the facts and the media campaign of lies against Brady convinces me the the NFL deliberately lied when falsely accusing Brady of “cheating”.

They were forced to admit their data and analysis were fraudulent. They were forced to admit Brady never tampered with the footballs. They were forced to admit they lied and leaked false information to the media.

Goodell and Wells are the cheaters, not Brady.
