Another Patriot Scandal??

[woodbuck27]

Is there any evidence that the Patriots deflated the balls after the referees inspected them? Isn't it possible that the officials failed to detect that the balls were under-inflated when they inspected them? After all, an official would have handled the ball after every Patriot offensive play and apparently didn't notice anything wrong.

Evidently it's near impossible to determine a difference of 2 psi in a ball just by handling it.

So now balls must be measure for correct pressure just like stick blade curves have to follow a specified limitation in the NHL.

This article is good;

It looks to me like the pat's pay some price here.

The NFL really needs to hire some people next year who are skilled at handling balls, to know the inflation difference, just by the way they feel in your hands - their softness/turgidity; the smoothness or roughness, their delicacy. I recommend Pete Schweddy:
