But what has the NFL really found? As one league source has explained it to PFT, the football intercepted by Colts linebacker D’Qwell Jackson was roughly two pounds under the 12.5 PSI minimum. The other 10 balls that reportedly were two pounds under may have been, as the source explained it, closer to one pound below 12.5 PSI.

Dallas would have given the Seahawks a better game. Might have even beaten them, like they did earlier in the year. It’s just that there’s that catch/non-catch thingy to deal with.
Breaking the rules ‘repeatedly’??? How did you come up with that?
Perhaps you should peruse this list of the other 31 clubs’ rule violations before passing judgement:

So zzwhale, how lily white is your team?

“PATS = REPEAT CHEATERS / LIARS its part of the NEW ENGLAND dna... and lady brady likes deflated balls... hope they sack his girly ass early on and repeatedly because that is how to beat this primadonna...ask the GIANTS IT WAS THE GUY WHO INTERCEPTED A PASS WHO NOTICED IT RIGHT OFF AND INFORMED THE REF... what cheat will they come up with next...???”
Ah, no, extremely uninformed and biased person.
He even stated that he brought it to the ref to let him know he was keeping the ball, on account of his interception.
I think I will go along with Joe Theisman when he said it was all about nothing as he tried throwing and catching balls at all the talked about pressures as well as wet and said he could not tell the difference. He said actually a wet ball is easier to hold and throw as the leather gets tacky when damp or wet.
I have no proof but I know human nature and believe Occam's Razor applies here. The officials who were charged with inspecting and verifying pressure in 24 balls presented by the two teams, failed to do so. And I think that habit is very widespread over the course of a season. Far easier for them to give the process lip service and say, "Yah, they're ok. Check this one off as 'done'. Let's go have a smoke."
The current delay in anything coming from the NFL is probably due to them trying to find a way to obfuscate and keep hidden the fact that it was the game official's who dropped the ball.
Yes indeed. But what about the neoprene bladder that is within the outer leather skin? Is that affected by moisture?
If in fact the Patriots cheated in this way in this game, there’s a damn good chance they were doing it all season, and maybe even in past seasons.
But, of course, as we have been told many times, cheating only matters if it’s a close game.
Moisture likely has little effect on the bladder. However, the bladder is there to hold the air in. I believe it provides little strength, compared with the leather.
YEAH!! When it was about screwing those all-the-time-winningest-ever Patriots, it was fun.
But now that we know they're going to be exonerated as the victims of a Felony Witch Hunt started by a rabid ex-NY Jet employee, we just don't want to talk about it any more!
LMAO!!!!!
Revenge is a dish best served NOW!!!!!!
One of the sportscasters here in Houston (Matt Musil) did an experiment with the football. He started with a ball at 12.5 PSI, which is allegedly Brady's preferred pressure and within the legal limits. He placed the ball in a refrigerator set at the gameday temperature for 90 minutes to simulate the time of a half a game of football. When he removed it, the ball had lost 2.5 PSI of air, which would make it below the legal limit. I think this raises the possibility that there has been a rush to judgment on the matter, rather like the first reports of Trayvon (kid chased by night watchman and gunned down in cold blood) and Michael Brown (kid gunned down with hands in the air while trying to surrender).
Pats haters = low information fans
Read for yourself (or, if necessary, have Mommy read it to you!). Geniuses.

LMAO!!!!!
As I said in my first post, this was a concocted "scandal" from the start.
You might want to retire to a quiet corner and work on your reading comprehension skills.
True enough.

No, but it’s affected by the stretching of its leather casing.
Even Marcus Aurelius knew when a fix was in.
