No proof they cheated anyone with a fourth grade education knows that the psi will decrease in cold weather. If the balls were properly inflated and measured per the rules of the NFL and then decreased in pressure from the weather that is not cheating.

LOL My fourth grade teacher just told me NONE of the Colts balls deflated in the bonechilling 45 degree weather. But 11 of the 12 Patriots balls did? And when the Patriots balls were inflated to legal levels at halftime they did not magically deflate again in the bonechilling 40 degree cold of the second half.

You write pretty well for a fourth grader!

And in what story was it reported what the starting and ending psi of the colts balls were colts balls could have started and 13.5 psi and ended at 12.5. All these patriots haters are starting to sound like the Ferguson looters you know they guilty why wait for the facts.

It depends upon the environment in which the balls were originally inflated. If they were inflated in a 70 degree locker room, and then taken outside to a 45 degree playing field, presumably the PSI of the balls would drop to some extent.

If they had been barely within the lower PSI limit, they likely would have dropped below that limit when taken out into the cold.

This whole thing is academic as the Patriots destroyed the Colts in the second half when supposedly the Patriots’ footballs were within the proper PSI range.

As to the playoffs and the NFL, I don’t give a hoot as many players, teams, and NFL management are corrupt.
