Wouldn't the air pressure drop in the footballs due to physics, anyway?

It was in the low 50's during the game which is pretty warm up there this time of the year.

Air pressure will drop very slightly during cold days just like tires on a car, but I don't think that was the case this past weekend. Someone on the sideline had to manually deflate the air pressure on those balls. I believe the weather had no part of it.

Yeah. I was just being sarcastic about the pressure differences.

I hear the Seahawks have a real game-changer up their sleeve that'll help them win the Super Bowl:

Warren sapp just said his QB Johnson used stick em under his uniform. And Brad Johnson himself paid to have all balls altered illegally at Super Bowl. Also Rodgers says he likes to over inflate the balls and nothing huh must be all that hate for the Pats clouding people's ability to research.

Of course they did, and those are just the stories we actually hear about. Imagine all the stuff that goes on, that we never hear about.
Trust me, at every level of sports from High School on up, coaches & players are doing whatever they can to gain a competitive edge.
Hell back in my in my travel softball team days, there were guys that would doctor up bats to the Nth degree. Roll them, core them, shave them...heck some guys would flat out paint banned bats.
Cheating goes on everywhere.

So what it's not like there not going. Besides its not like deflating makes it a nerf ball and tom brady is sitting in his car throwing 180 yards.


Dwayne Allen colts tight end just posted this.

not a story. They could have played with soap for balls and beat us. Simply the better team. We have to continue to build! #BTM

The point isn't whether or not they were the better team or not... it's painfully obvious the pats were. Does not matter whether it had an impact or change the outcome of the game. At the core it's: did they break the rules?

If they did, they should be punished. Simple.
