Well Bill was saying the friction from rubbing the footballs caused an artificial increase in PSI. They would then make sure the balls were at 12.5 PSI in that state, or deliver to the refs and request they put the balls at 12.5 (plausible as Rodgers said the refs like to put balls closer to the low end of the spectrum). After the check, the balls PSI naturally lowers as it cools down from the rubbing. Then once they're out in the cold, wet weather, they drop even more. Whether the Patriots did all of this intentionally (likely) or unintentionally (unlikely), the science is accurate, and technically they did nothing against league rules.
My theory is that the refs simply ed up and never adequately inflated the balls pregame. It's clear from what Belichick said that New England makes no effort to inflate the balls properly before the game and just tells the refs to inflate them to 12.5 (all of which is within the rules), so if the refs don't inflate them then the balls are already under-inflated at room temperature and once they were outside dipped to a full 1-2 PSI below the minimum.
And if the Colts knew a sting/ball check was coming, they'd likely inflate the balls to the upper limit in the hopes of negating any natural deflation, and keep them in regulation.
Lol, i give you time to think about it before i start laughing...
On a side note, "Ballghazi" is a much better name for this than "DeflateGate"
go ahead and start laughing. its a valid question
Rubbing them won't get the temperature up that high.
I have never ever seen as much total bull as I;m seeing with this, wow!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone thinking air pressure is winning football games, hahahahaha~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lotta these up in here all of a sudden
you just don't get it
Let me give it a shot....
Any team looking to gain an unfair advantage outside the rules is in the wrong.
How'd I do, yep....you're wrong as usual.
The bottom line is it's a stupid rule, let the QB use whatever air pressure he prefers. Not unlike using a different ball to kick.
no, you still don't get it. "anyone thinking air pressure is winning football games, hahahahahahaha~~~~~~"
when i read that, that means you are really missing the point
Damn you're dumb, wow!
My point dummy is air pressure doesn't win/lose football games.....ok? Yes it's wrong to twek the NFL rules. Regardless of how stupid the rule might be.
that is the only thing at issue here. was a rule broken, and was it done intentionally? you stopping into this thread every few hours to say "air pressure doesn't win games, hahahahahahaha" just shows you are missing the point entirely
Dude, do you work at being stupid...we .,.ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL..get what's going on here, ok dummy? My point, make that...OBVIOUS..point is.................... it's a stupid rule...OK???????????
Like talking to a little kid, wow~~~~
I can see why this little is a Raider fan.
what does that mean
Didn't see his latest press conference. Did he explain why the Colts' balls were legal and the Patriots' weren't?
Mr Deer antler spray
You're into a team that's had how many head coachs in the last 20 years, how many QB's? Do we ever see a stable coach/QB combo with the Raiders?
Dude, cool trying to correct me, you always come off looking stupid, ok?
so are you saying an intelligent person would change his favorite team because they are bad? i don't get it.
Ray Lewis talking about integrity
I'm saying when you make it very obvious you have some need to play critic, how could you follow a team as messed up as the Raiders are? A real strong case can be made they have been the worst team in the league for a decade.
again, i don't get what my fanhood has to do with anything. are you suggesting my favorite team reflects my intelligence? how so? am i supposed to change my favorite team so i can look smarter? you don't make any sense
Physics professors have said otherwise. Man, you oughta be teaching at ing MIT if you're so much smarter than them.
