31. I'll Grant You Spygate

Tue Jan 31, 2017, 01:34 PM

Jan 2017

Although i am convinced that everyone was doing that and NE is the one who got caught.

But, i still don't believe there was any cheating with the football air pressure. The gas law explains 100% of everything identified, especially if the QB preference was to have the inflation in the bottom 50% of the permitted range. Under that scenario, anything under 12.8 psig was going to be "illegal" 3 hours after sitting in conditions that were 23 kelvins lower than when they were inflated. I did the math myself.

You want to hate them for their politics, i get that. I'm not nuts about it either. But, if you're going to hate them for cheating, hate them for when it actually was cheating.
