for the pats cheating? yes, and its not much.
if the saints got caught doing this, bulldoze the dome and cut SP's head off.

Aaron Rogers admitted he did it.

it will be interesting if they use as defense Aaron Rogers confession.
Does Green Bay have to pay the same penalty?
No. Green Bay didn't actually get caught.

Belichik should miss next season. Habitual offender.

2 game suspension followed by a massive media outcry followed by an indefinite suspension followed by a "No More" public service announcement campaign.

He just admitted to it, and apparently they've had some balls rejected in the past.

The situations are different. If the Patriots had submitted under-pressurized balls before the game, and the refs said they were okay then it's on the refs. I'm not advocating trying to cheat the system, but that's the point of an inspection. If a team wants to push the limits on the extremes of the system, that's fine to me. Don't get them inspected THEN alter the balls though. That's not just trying to push the envelope. That is blatant subversion of the process.

ESPN Article with Video Link Showing Balls Being Heated Up
Seeing this got me thinking about the Patriots situation. When the balls cool down, the pressure will decrease. Cold air condenses meaning it takes up less space, thus exerting less pressure on its surroundings, which is what PSI measures. Patriot footballs which were sitting inside the locker room (or other interior area at room temperature (probably around 70 degrees Fahrenheit) would have less pressure after 5 hours (time from inspection until halftime guesstimate) outside at much lower temperatures. Is it 2 PSI worth of pressure loss? I doubt it, but I'm not sure. If someone really wanted to, he/she could use simple formulas relating temperature of air, pressure, and other stuff (the most basic things of thermodynamics, if they even qualify as that) to actually check this...but I don't feel like it.

What about for repeat and habitual offenders?

The Pats stockpile draft picks so they can cheat and not feel the effects.
Solid plan IMO

They should get the death penalty

Public execution.

literally posted Aaron Rodgers bragging about attempting and succeeding to breaking this exact rule.
Packers, Ravens, Jets, Titans, and Giants all admitted to bounties or targeting players, but none of them were even investigated.
We both know the furor doesnt care about applying the law equally.

A Boston professor did this and it didn't come close to the 16% variation
