13 lbs rock hard
10.5 soft.
Even Patriot Supporter Boomer Esiason thinks there was some cheating and the league will be handing out a steep penalty.

that is a 2-1/2 psi difference, 10 balls were 1 psi under
one was within the boundaries apparently, and the last was the one that the Colts had after interception which IMO cannot be trusted was mysteriously 2 psi under.
dog and pony show that it goes from hard to soft, well to be fair try it with the 1 psi difference.
Boomer said IF they prove tampering with the balls after the officials approved them, there would be stiff penalties.
I say if the balls were approved, then so be it. They did not and would not risk any chance of questioning their integrity after the scrutiny they have been under and the cloud that has hung over them by letting air out after officials approved them.
I think the refs did NOT measure all of them and the nfl needs a scapegoat. If they get fined for playing with under inflated balls, then fine the Packers also for turning in over inflated balls. Why weren't they investigated. Rodgers admits he turns them in over inflated and if they pass, good, if they let air out, so what.
The attendant theory that Brady had him do it is contrary to common sense, there is no risk/reward there, only risk of damaging the reputation. Didn't happen, will never happen. But speculators are going to accuse and life will go on.
Skippy, early on in the investigation, the Patriots turned in all video and stuff like that. The NFL has it.
there is this though
