What is funny when the 12.5 psi balls were brought into the game the Pats smoked the Colts 28-0 in the second half. Brady was 8-8 to start the second half. Lot of sour grapes losers here.

Totally asinine comment...the results of the game are irrelevant...of course the Pats would have won the game but a multibillion dollar sport has been besmirched by CHEATERS and whatever penalty they get is nowhere near severe enough. If you CHEAT...regardless of what the score was....YOU'RE A LOSER

THe balls have been shown in the last week by multiple experiments that the conditions on the field would have caused the ball to lose pressure.

It was the temp and rain nothing more. This experiment explains the effect of rain in addition to temp

This experiment they didn’t get the ball wet:

Why Didn’t the MSM or NFL perform this simple HS (Grade School?) experiment, and people wonder why so many believe in AGW, Americans are scientific illiterates.

No. It’s been besmirched by bad math and faulty assumptions.

Every attempt to replicate the effects experimentally shows the football defaulting at least 1.4 PSI, if quick cooled, and around 1.8 PSI if the leather is given time to absorb the water and stretch a bit.There are now dozens of videos. The quick cool understate the loss of pressure, but have the advantage of having the whole effect in a three minute video without time compression.
