“Yes it is...they cheated Period.” So as an uneducated person who skipped all the science classes in H.S., this is your opinion?

I was a science major and flunked nothing...a football CANNOT lose 2# of air pressure when going from a 70 degree room to an 50 degree field..PERIOD.....and if it were possible(it's not) ALL of the balls, including those owned by the Colts would have suffered the same fate...THEY DIDN'T

Well, I don’t think so regarding your science major in grade school... First of all, we don’t know at what temp the balls were inflated. And it wasn’t 50 degrees, it was 45 degrees.

Tell me, wise one... If inflated at 70 degrees with CO2, what would the pressure be at 45 degrees? Show your work...

OK science major

Riddle me this - what was the temperature of the gas put into the footballs prior to turning them over to the refs for inspection? If it was via a compressor, I assure you that the air inserted into the footballs was considerably higher than the outside (or inside) ambient air temperature.

Well THAT’S an obviously ridiculous statement.
