I am a disappointed Patriots fan. Not going to try to defend this one....
But, a few questions. Minimum PSI is 12.5 by rule. One pound less is approximately 8%. I would like to hold two footballs, one inflated to 12.5, the other at 11.5, to see how much of a noticeable difference there is. If my paycheck is 8% light, I am going to notice it...
How did the officials miss it? They handle the ball more than the QB. How is it that game balls are in possession of the team during the game, after the pre game inspection? If there is a chance to alter the ball for a competitive advantage, should it not be in the possession of some party without a vested interest? (ie. a rep/employee of the NFL)
The NFL has some serious work ahead of it to review their competitive controls, rules, and oversight. Not like they don't have the money....
A fish that measures 1/8 inch under is still a short......period.
