    Here is my proof that Brady knows if something is firm from the feel of it.

    That depends....what did they "do", and what are they "charged with"? If you are saying that they kept the balls minimally pressured (within regulation) with full knowledge that the pressure would drop further when exposed to the environment I would agree that they knew they were doing this. However, according to the rules (posted a couple of times now), nothing about this is illegal. The ball met regulation when it was measured (although likely on the low end), and the rule is silent as to where the measurement occurs.

    If you are saying that they purposely deflated the balls after measurement, I think that it defies common sense to think that someone spending 90 seconds in a bathroom can precisely deflate 11 footballs.

    Someone deflated the balls. That much is clear. Maybe you can't prove that it was the Patriots that were behind it but if you actually believe that it was anyone else who put that individual up to it, then I've got some ocean front property in Kentucky.

    As for the 90 seconds, I don't know. It does sound kinda questionable that he could have done it in that amount of time. There wouldn't have been time to be real precise probably. But it happened somehow, some time, by someone who was instructed to do so by someone on the team. The elements argument is complete BS because the Colts balls were exposed to the same elements.

    ...And they were likely inflated to a higher pressure in the acceptable range, so, no, the elements argument is not only not complete BS, it is not BS at all IMO. It is definitely possible (I would say likely, since IMO Belicheat and Brady routinely had their game balls set lower in the acceptable range than other teams) that the Colts footballs would still be in spec since they started out higher.

    What I'm hearing is ball boy went to the potty where he didn't deflate the balls but swapped with some already planted there previously. If they rewind the tape, they'll notice a "janitor" with a trash can going in early that morning which so happens to be about the same height/weight at Belicheat.
