I thought Belichick's main point was that the footballs are calibrated to the proper weight in the warm locker room. Then when they are taken outside, the cold air causes them to deflate over the next hour or two.

Except the Colts' balls were legal and one of the Pats* balls stayed compliant, even though all 24 were subject to the same conditions. The fixed balls also didn't deflate during the second half.

Of course, this would be a non-story if it weren't for the fact that the Pats* are habitual offenders.

Except we don't know what psi the colts balls were at or how low the patriots psi was short when it was checked. So we don't know shite basically.

We have no idea if they were subject to the same conditions.

What was the starting PSI of the colts balls?
What was the final PSI of the colts balls?
What was the temp in the room where the Colts inflated/tested their balls?
What was the temp in the room where the Pats inflated/tested their balls?
Did the Colts rub their footballs like the Pats do and possibly warm them up beyond the temp inside the room?
