We have zero concrete information. How much were they deflated by? How long had they been indoors when they were measured at halftime? Were they measured before the game? Do we have those numbers? We don't know any of this shit. If this is your idea of evidence, I hope to God you never end up on a jury.

The point remains about Al Sharpton.

It's showing you how most people are completely incapable of objectively evaluating statistical evidence.

Here's a great article that breaks down the number of plays to fumbles ratio between all NFL teams for 2015.

Yes, you're right, we absolutely haven't heard enough about those other balls, and I look forward to hearing about nothing else for at least the next eight days.

Do we really have to keep talking about balls?

Patriots fan here, and while I still think this whole scandal is just so much hot air (sorry), I am wondering: scientifically, how can roughing up a football (or doing anything only to its surface) increase the internal pressure?

Fascinating. What else can you tell me about this?

No. Please explain further.

"Bellicheat," huh? Did you think of that one all by yourself?

Who loses to the Jets?

I assume the easiest way would be to just stick an air needle in it, without screwing it onto the pump first.

Repeating, of course.

It's probably less about trajectory (you'd want the ball to behave predictably, to conform to all those precise routes you've been practicing all year) and more about being easy to grip.

Until it exploded. Wouldn't take much with pure hydrogen.

It works because the ball is effectively airtight.

You have an interesting standard of proof. Disgruntled Patriots employee made allegations, refused to testify, later recanted. Sounds airtight to me.

In a neutral context, maybe not. In this context, it's an incredibly loaded (and pejorative) word. Which seems a little excessive.

You are either an awesome troll or an utter failure of the educational system.
