Pats Cheating Comfirmed

[PizzaDoughz]

According to the report, the league sources say the NFL determined 11 of the 12 footballs used by the Patriots were under-inflated by two pounds per square inch each. Per NFL rules, footballs are required to be inflated between 12.5 and 13.5 PSI and weigh between 14 and 15 ounces.

I am not able to answer but I do know that the Patriots do a lot of drills on holding onto balls to prevent fumbles—over and over. I read an interview of one of their players saying they did that, and I don't recall it being after Deflategate but before it.

I don't know but I do know the Patriots are gonna have to win now. I know this would motivate Brady more. Per what I read, he stands to be the most affected and I read the other players have paid little attention to this.

If you can't take the heat on another team's BB during a time of public scrutiny for your own team, that's pretty sad.

Your username is hardly a brand under copyright, or even important for that matter.

Pathetic.

If they approved them that means they were within specs. That is the only way they would approve them. This doesn't show what you think it shows.

What's Peyton's playoff record if he doesn't play cheaters?

A) Every team does that.

B) That has basically nothing to do with what I said.

And Neil deGrasse Tyson can suck it! Not accounting for gauge pressure being zeroed out to ambient pressure is a rookie mistake. But mad props to him for admitting it right away. This is why you always trust an engineer when it comes to real world problems. (And why I asked Rainman to check my work)

He also said it doesn't significantly change his findings.

Personally, I fully expect Seattle to get blown out. If the Patriots lose this game, it'll be a chokejob only rivaled by 18-1.

Um, no, no he didn't. He admitted it COMPLETELY changes his findings. He then went on to say it doesn't MATTER because he thinks the Patriots would have won the game even if they played it in space.

"A delightfully moot point since neither temperature absolves the NE Patriots even as we all know that the NE Patriots, in their 45 to 7 victory over the Colts, would have won the game no matter the ball pressure," he wrote. "And, as far as I am concerned, the Patriots would have won that game even in the vacuum of space."

Again, don't ask an astronomer a question better suited to an engineer. As I pointed out in my post there are a ton of factors (gauge pressure was just one) involved and many are difficult to account for. His adjusted figure of 90F air is also wrong. Stick to the stars Neil.

So, there's no proof. I no longer care.

Well played Pats.
