You're correct BUT if Brady sets his balls to 12.5 as he stated, the minimum, any decrease will be outside the parameters set. If the colts balls were at 13.5 a loss of a lb would still be within them. I'm sure the NFL is closely looking at videos, pictures and considering the above possibility, the truth will most likely come out.
Shit I remember when I was racing pro stock Harleys, I, like everyone else pushed things to the limit, especially with fuels, all my fuel was certified to pass fuel checks but on an occasion or two, especially in hot, high humidity I did not pass because it was right on the edge and that's where you have to be to WIN.
Like I said, although I don't think anyone did anything outside the rules, and I'd like to think not because I am honest and do believe in fair play but if they did, especially Brady because of the standards he is held to, then hangem' by his balls because to me, that's a disgrace.
By the way, something else I find interesting, 11 of 12 balls were underinflated why not 12 and also there were 24 balls chosen for possible use, what about the other 12?
Also, I never heard anything officially about the colts balls being checked, I may have missed it.
