Oh man this thing is growing legs FAST and turning into a monster.
Who's gonna fall on the sword for that cheater Belicheck?
Equipment mgr, ball boy?
Twice they deflated 11 of 12 balls. They had 2 1/2 hrs before the game and after being checked at halftime they were "adjusted" again.
2 psi is a BIG difference.
I can feel 1 psi underinflation on my dirtbikes tires and that is not something I grip with my hands.
Good thing it was a blowout for New England or people would be calling for Bill's head!
I guarantee you the rules will be adjusted once again next year.

I'm interested in the arguments that disagree with this.
More unanswered questions from what I've been able to read on the matter thus far: Why wouldn't the referees, who have their hands on the balls each down, notice if something was off? Wouldn't a deflated ball work against a team on kicking plays? Were New England's kick-off distances down on average?
Something just doesn't smell right about the accusations.

As for Brady and Billichek I neither like them nor dislike them. They do seem to flirt with the line of what is legal and illegal and this certainly crosses the line. Some of their trickery with claiming eligible tight ends is interesting to say the least. Seems like they're trying to trick the refs as much as they are the opposing team.
They cheated, no doubt about it.
His body english, the way he tilted his head and his blinking was consistent with someone holding back.
He stayed on script too much, refused to adlib an answer.

12lbs, 15lbs...makes no difference to me. I just ride the darn thing. I'm always amazed at how finicky some riders are, and I always assume they are making things up...but if you can honestly feel 1psi difference in your tires, you should be a professional test rider.
Interesting.
A do agree with you though, some people make too much out of some other things. Maybe mine is tire pressure. Lol.
Pit Row
In MX terms, it'd be like Roczen getting his bike through tech at the weight limit, then going back and substituting parts that resulted in a bike being 5lb under the weight minimum. He'd likely win with the bike at the legal weight, but as soon as he went to 5lb. under, he'd definitely be guilty of cheating.
"Ask any quarterback, and this is a non-issue," Gannon said. "Everybody does something, to them. It's like a pitcher, he wants the ball a certain way."
Every team tampers with the footballs. Ask any Qb In the league, this is ridiculous!!

It's really noticeable, trail riding and a fine line. 15psi is good for preventing flats in rocky terrain. But for terrain that is hard with pea gravel it can be real skatey on single track. 13.5 works best for that.
Even in my vehicles I can notice a 4-5 psi difference.
Suspension:
CRF 450 = 2 clicks I notice
KTM= 1 click
I also notice when air builds up in my forks and am constantly bleeding them, wether I'm at the track or trail.
That's why I chuckle when guys can't wait to spend BIG $$ on their machines, before they get "intimate" with them and really know what they can or can't do.
So yeah maybe your right--I should have been a Factory Test Rider.
Pitchers sometimes get suspended for doctoring balls, don't they?
