...weather conditionsThe gambling industry should put the odds out as follows:
What are the odds that the temperature would significantly impact 11 Patriot balls, but somehow escapes impact on the 12th ball? And... What are the odds that the temperature would significantly impact 92 percent of the Patriots balls, but NOT the Colts balls?
Great point on the 12th Patriot football. Lots of wannabe physicists here and everywhere trying hard to excuse the Colts footballs not being illegal "they must have been in warmer temps than the Patriots footballs blah blah". Well then how about that magic 12th Patriot football that escaped the laws of Belichicks's physics? And apparently the laws of physics also ceased in the second half when the Patriots footballs were properly reinflated and didn't drop 2 psi again.
Lots of Lance Armstrong type kool aid drinkers out there...
