That's exactly my point: I challenge the premise that there is definitive evidence of anything other than natural causes (ineffective management by NFL Officials, usage conditions, etc.).
The NFL has been playing games in cold weather for almost a 100 years. They have the regulations to account for it and it is the team's responsibility to maintain the proper psi in the balls. One or 2 balls under pressure is just a ball boy that can't keep up the weather, but all but one is either incompetence or manipulation that GAVE THE PATS AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE and given Bellichick's history I am going with manipulation.

GAVE THE PATS AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE
Don't see a lot of facts here except that some game balls MAY have been under-inflated to specification (No official NFL report, yet.)
And where are the FACTS that even prove it provided and unfair advantage?
The rule is important in its intent: to create the so-called 'even playing field'. However, it's arbitrary and can be changed like any set of rules.
My point continues to be: where are the PROOFS/FACTS that show anything improper happened outside of probabilities that have not been ruled out: poor management by NFL Officials, weather/usage conditions, etc, etc.?
Looks more like a hyped narrative feeding fuel to bunches of Patriots-haters and sore-losers, than anything else.
Caveat: We all know the NFL can and will do anything they want with this. I just don't see, yet, where any action they take could be traced back to real evidence of much of anything other than a couple of data points plucked out of all context.
