Wow. I hope you’re joking. The Colts brought a deflated NE ball to the league’s attention, which led to both teams footballs being retested at the half. If they were the ones tampering they would not do that.

The Colts did not bring a ball to the league’s attention. D’Qwell Jackson who intercepted Tom Brady took the ball to the sidelines as a souvenir. The media changed the story as if Jackson knew the ball was deflated. Jackson has debunked that storyline. The media should be ashamed of themselves!

Right They did, so how do their balls defy the laws of physics? Help me with that.

What is funny when the 12.5 psi balls were brought into the game the Pats smoked the Colts 28-0 in the second half. Brady was 8-8 to start the second half.

Lot of sour grapes losers here.

The story was leaked to Kravitz by the Colts drug addict owner Isray, who uses Kravitz to get stuff into the public realm.

That’s an assumption which reporters have not been able to confirm. The only statement is that the Colts balls were tested at some point in time.

Regardless, if Colt balls started room temp and cooled to outdoor tempo, they would have had to have lost roughly 1,2 PSI, plus whatever effects from being wet. If the didn’t, your assumptions are wrong. If they were at 13.5 PSI at 75F, and cooled to 50F, they’d be out of specs.
