    Agreed that the Patsy's should be punished in some way or another, but I think this whole thing is being made into a bigger deal than it is. I am for some sort of punishement as we all need to abide by rules in every day life regardless.

    This isn't big enough to have an affect on the outcome of a game. This is a preference as all QB's and kickers have.

    It has been stated that the balls used in the second half by the Patsies had the correct amount of air in them.

    Pats scored 17 with the underinflated balls in the first half
    and 28 with the proper air in the balls in the second half......hmmmmm.

    Like I said, they need to be punished, but people are making a bigger deal than this really is. Goodell needs to change the rules so both teams use the same balls in each game.

    could have added, say nitrogen or something I dont know what, that would escape thru the rubber when it got cold. Meaning it could have been done prior to the officials having them in their hands.

    Let physics do the dirty work

    Love Belicheat. He repeatedly said he was not a scientist but didn't have any problem sharing scientific data on atmospheric conditions and equilibrium to support his theory.

    He didn't mention how these conditions only impacted the balls on his side of the field.

    Whitehurst came out and said he has deflated balls in the past. Combined with Leinarts statement it's probably going to turn out this is a very common practice, which will create a tough situation for the NFL.

    IMO he knows all about these relationships, and has been setting the pressure to the absolute lowest allowable settings for years. That would be consistent with his style.

    First ever justice system based solely around the honor system. Ground breaking.
