Message Replied To ========== Weather related rather than cheating? Read on. "Goodyear experts explain that air pressure in a tire typically goes down 1-2 pounds for every 10 degrees of temperature change." http://www.goodyear.com/cfmx/web/corporate/media/news/story.cfm?a_id=371 It was reportedly 51 degrees at kickoff. Low that night was 17. Did it drop 10 degrees during the game? I don't know. I do know the Pats waxed them in the second half after the balls were switched out. ============================== Because other NFL fans are butthurt the League will probably take away a draft pick or two, but even that seems excessive unless they can show proof that a NE staff member intentionally deflated the balls. I think the weather had far more to do with this than any person. And what about the refs? They handled the #badword#ing things on every play and they couldn't tell?If that's the case seems like it is a pretty insignificant deal. |
