Earlier you asked for a link when I mentioned a USC professor. Here it is, and I urge you to read the whole article, especially the part about all the games played since 1960. LonghornMM, feel free to lock the thread now if you want, I just wanted provide the info Scholtz requested. I won't comment any further on the subject.

Right back atcha. Relying on one legal team’s expert witnesses is naive at best.

Did the weather play a role in all this Patriots-Colts Deflategate business? Very unlikely.

Here's why.

Every 10 degree drop in temperature (F) results in about .2 PSI loss in a football. Say the balls were inflated/checked at room temp prior to kickoff, which is around 70 degrees. Gametime temp was around 50 degrees. We're talking about .4 drop in pounds per square inch (PSI).

You may recall the footballs dropped from 13.5 PSI or so to 10.5 PSI.

Weather, was not the culprit. Don't take my word, here's Dr. Michael Lisa, Professor of Physics, at The Ohio State University:

"There were apparently balls found at 10.5 PSI gauge pressure rather than the regulation 13 PSI gauge pressure. This corresponds to an 11 percent difference in the absolute pressure in the ball. (Absolute pressure includes both the gauge pressure and atmospheric pressure.) That 11 percent change in pressure is what you’d get with a 11 percent reduction in temperature. Taking care of all the conversions to Kelvin, etc, that would be going from 70 F to 12 F. So, that could happen on a real cold day."

Alas, this day was not cold enough. But ... maybe the balls were examined in a sauna?

Ok, I said I wouldn't comment further but I can't let that article be the end of it. It was written soon after the whole thing started, while Chris Mortensen was reporting that 11 of the 12 balls were each 2.0 psi under regulation, meaning 10.5. That turned out to be simply false. The footballs averaged over 11.3 psi, averaged over the two different gauges used, and started at 12.5 psi, not "13.5 psi or so." (Those numbers are from the Ted Wells report, not my opinion)

The article you sited based their scientific opinion on numbers that were simply not true. And again, that's not my opinion but numbers straight from the NFL investigation.

Now I'm done. Back to UT football.

Oh now you’re done. Starting NOW!

Case closed, you may go lick your wounds now. Ouch!
