When did they test the Indy balls? Do you know something that no one else does? It would have been nice if they confiscated their balls as well, but that didn’t happen.

The footballs for both teams were inflated and ensured to be at the same levels before the game. Same controlled environment and done by the officials. The balls were tested at half time. Again all the balls by both teams. 11 of the 12 NE balls were well below the legal limit. ZERO of the Colts balls were. They both were subjected to the same atmospheric conditions and game play. Belichick is blowing smoke and lying. You should get all the facts so you don't fall for it yourself.

Belichick was asked in his presser about his taping/cheating scandal. His response gave himself away. First he got very testy and angry and his knee jerk response was to deny they did anything wrong. Then he said everyone did it. He was shaky and defensive and exposed. Then he caught himself finally and admitted they did something wrong back then(as we all know) and were punished. It was striking that years after proven to be cheating in a matter he still reflexively denies it even knowing he is guilty. It's why he in this case can stand up there for 20 minutes wagging his finger and inexplicably blaming weather, officials, football rubbing, random effects, etc in the face of a clear violation. He is a pathological cheater and liar.

“The footballs for both teams were inflated and ensured to be at the same levels before the game. Same controlled env1ironment and done by the officials.”

You are in error in this one critical statement. What NOONE knows is what the actual inflation pressures were at the time of testing prior to the game. There is an allowable RANGE of pressure (12.5 to 13.5 psi) that was measured by the officials prior to the game. We do not know what either the Colts or Pats footballs measured at that time, except that ALL the footballs met the league limits. Depending on the preference of the QB, the Colts footballs may have been at 13.5 psi. We know that Brady prefers his footballs at 12.5 psi - an immediate 1 psi differential. So your statement that the footballs were the same is not borne out by the evidence at hand.
