“Sorry. It was the chair of physics at Boston College.”
Sorry. You are the victim of another’s lies. I found where your Naughton statement is printed:
If you click on his embedded link you actually find that Naughton supports the weather theory:
“The chair of Boston College’s physics department is backing up claims that cold weather could be the reason that some of the footballs used on the field Sunday evening during the New England Patriots’ 45-7 drubbing of the Indianapolis Colts may have been deflated.”
See #154. The link you gave me shows somebody else who was able to excerpt the same paragraph just like I did. The “COULDN’T HAVE” in the original URL I posted proves to me that they changed their story. Shenanigans.
