Now that you've pissed the Pat's off beware of their wrath. lol

Actually the numbers don't quite work for this scenario to be accurate. Initial reports have determined the patriot balls were inflated to 10.5 psi at half time. Meaning they lost 2 psi from the min 12.5. We know the balls were at least 12.5 psi @ pre game check. Now last time i checked the weather and temperature were the same on the patriot's sideline and the colts' sideline. If it was due to temperature the colts ball would have lost 2 psi as well. This would mean that the colts ball would have at 11.5 psi a half time if they started at the max inflated pressure of 13.5 pre game check. For the weather/temperature rationale to hold the colts' ball should have failed as well at half time. We know that was not the case. So unless the patriots are deliberately filling their balls with hot air to pass inspection we can reasonably deduce that the balls were altered after inspection.
