Not 2lbs of pressure though. At the temperatures present on game day, the pressure wouldn't have even dropped 1lb. And strange that the honest team didn't have the same problem.

Hmm...

Interesting... You have testing data to back that up?

Cause this guy does, and it doesn't say what you say.

When that error is corrected, the amount of deflation predicted in moving from room temperature to a 50-degree field is roughly doubled. Healy, a graduate student in mechanical engineering at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, went further: He measured the pressure drop in 12 footballs when they were moved from a room at 75 degrees to one at 50 degrees (the approximate temperature on the field in the Colts game).



In the experiment, the deflation of the footballs was close to the larger, correctly calculated value. When Healy moistened the balls to mimic the effects of the rainy weather that day, the pressure dropped even further, close to the deflation of 2 pounds per square inch that the N.F.L. is believed to have found.
Maths... hard. ;p

(not commenting on the other teams balls... jus saying the hypothesis of the pressure drop CAN be proven up to the 2lbs mark you disagree with. The question of the other team not having the same issue, well that's why it's a controversy isn't it?)

I can't stand people who use logic and facts. It takes away from my board trolling immersion. "Shit aint' classic". Just don't do it.
