You might want to recheck your facts.TheNewhalls said:What did he get caught doing? Oh that's right one ball was under inflated. The Colts intercepted a pass and that ball was under inflated (Hmm you think the Colts could have...nah). Too bad for the Colts though, if they played with the under inflated ball the whole game the score might have been closer than 45-7! The Pats scored 28 unanswered points with the correctly inflated!
NFL rules are balls are to be inflated to 12.5 lbs., the Patriots game balls were at 10.1 and 10.5, but the Colts game balls were also under pressure, and Gardi (NFL VP), won't reveal the actual pressure of those balls, after lying, and initially saying those balls were fully inflated!WILDEBILL308 said:Just wondering, if this is so important why haven't the refs ben instructed to check the game balls? Why not do spot checks after a score? Why aren't all game balls under the control of the refs? Why with the start of the new season nothing has changed?
All I see is he said hearsay evidence. Does anyone know how much under the minimum the air pressure was? I see no unbroken chain of evidence.

Exactly!WILDEBILL308 said:I think there could be a argument that the playing conditions contributed to the problem. I could do the math but I don't care that much. The balls were inflated in the locker/equipment room before the game. Everyone knows Bradey likes as soft of a ball as possible. so they are set to 12.0 there has to be a range of allowable pressure. Now you take them out in the sever cold and they loos pressure. Take a balloon blow it up in your kitchen now put it in the freezer for 30 min. How cold was it on the field? This would also explain why the Colt's balls were underinflated. But I think this is a witch hunt with no solid evidence.
When they are playing in 100+ heat do they say the team is cheating because the balls are over inflated?

Haters gotta hate. Try googling NFL cheating history.
