I wouldn't call it cheating I would call it shrewd.

Hey, I'm a NY Giants fan and all the Jet fans down here are stirring on this one. But I think you nailed it and that was exactly my response when I first heard it. So BB gives a bunch of balls of different pressure to TB and the recievers and asks which they would prefer given the weather forecast. There is wiggle room in the spec and BB will always find it. It's on the NFL, not the Pats.
