yep. 5 seconds for 12 balls is a minute, leaving him 30 seconds to take a piss
#pissgate
From everything I've seen, it would be 5 seconds or less to deflate one football by 2 psi. So there's no doubt a trained staffer could get 12 balls done in less than 90 seconds. But clearly there's no way to prove he did that without a confession. Brady better be emptying his kids' trust funds tbh.

interesting that people have already experimented with it. that has been the funniest part of this story, how many people are suddenly interested in physics, thermodynamics
I figured BB, Patricia and RainMan came up with a method where the balls would lose pressure an hour or so after prepped. Of course I'm not sure if this is even possible, just my paranoia about those guys.
Of course it could very well be as simple as a ballboy, maybe he has a method down for deflating each ball quickly, some Ocean's Eleven . It will be interesting how the league wants to navigate this and how the SB will be officiated. That ballboy will probably be told to the shut the up but set for life.
A personal bathroom that only holds one that can be locked from the inside. A perfect place to do the dirty work, and also a credible excuse. Why not leave the balls outside if you have to take a quick whiz, or even if he was taking a hyper in 90 seconds. Not like some random thug is going to come steal them.
It would be incredibly stupid to let those balls out of your sight before delivering them. Probably something he could be instantly fired for. The better question is why didn't he just hold it for a few more minutes, drop the balls off at the appropriate places, then go piss.Why not leave the balls outside if you have to take a quick whiz, or even if he was taking a hyper in 90 seconds.

they could theoretically use a different/specific gasinteresting that people have already experimented with it. that has been the funniest part of this story, how many people are suddenly interested in physics, thermodynamics

tom shady is beautiful
A rogue ball boy took this operation upon himself...
Ill take the weather as the culprit before I believe the above.
You just don't screw with Brady's balls, feelings can get hurt.
Assistant press conference:
I aint scrolling back.
Have the stats been posted on how few fumbles Patriots have at home vs on the road?
Ditto following some players who played for Pattycakes then went to another team. And resumed a fumble rate withing NFL norms?
Pats is completely assowned.
Rate of Patriot fumbles after Tom Shady (and Manning) lobbied the NFL in 2006 for the upcoming 2007 season to change the rule on home teams only provide footballs.
Once again, a key takeaway is deadly obvious: prior to 2007 the Patriots were RIGHT IN LINE with the league averages across the other non-dome teams. When you look team by team, they literally are in the middle of the pack for most seasons, as the histogram in the very first graphic at the top of this article shows. But starting in 2007, all similarities totally vanish.
The statistical “jump” the Patriots make in the 2006 offseason, from one fumble every 39 plays to one fumble every 76 plays is nothing short of remarkable. Their trendline over this period is not even close to that of the rest of the NFL.
Why are fumbles so important? Because as Bill Belichick knows, perhaps more so than most NFL coaches due to his understanding of the game – turnovers usually control game outcomes. Since 2000, teams who won the turnover battle won 79% of their games, regardless of ANY other statistic. A 12-5 record equates to 75% wins, so its clear how vital turnovers are in the minds of intelligent coaches. And as far as turnovers are concerned, the number one concern for a team with a quarterback as skilled and proficient as Tom Brady is not interceptions (because there won’t be many), its fumbles.

anyone relating the fumbles rate in pats games with the ball deflation is simply re ed, no other way to put it.
This Sharp Football Analysis just nails it. Much more in the article.

Stop exposing my Pattycake fantacy.
It took you a while to log off/log on but hey, you finally have an accurate take on the scammy Pats.

lol this thread
Looks like the NFL is reaching out to Columbia's physics department for the investigation:
A law firm hired by the N.F.L. to investigate footballs used by the New England Patriots has formally asked the Columbia University physics department for help in understanding how weather and temperature could affect the pressure in footballs, according to a summary of the communication obtained by The New York Times.Zajc said he believed there was little chance that atmospheric effects alone could account for the discrepancies in the football pressure.
"I think it’s more likely than not that they were manipulated," Zajc said.http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/28/sp...nytsports&_r=1Robert Kirshner, a cosmologist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass., said that after the news conference on Saturday, Belichick would not receive invitations to give physics seminars anytime soon.
"I think Belichick is better at keeping pressure on the passer than passing a physics test," Kirshner said.
Also, it apparently only takes 40 seconds maximum to deflate 12 footballs below the NFL's limit:

In a perfect world the Seahawks beat the Pats 21-20 on a last second FG. After the game they find out that ball was underinflated.
The teams don't have access to those balls.
