In the midst of the scandal which has become known as "Deflate Gate" -- in which an NFL investigation found that 11 of 12 footballs used by the Patriots in the AFC Championship game were under-inflated -- the NFL has posted photos that many say were unfortunately timed.

The photos were posted to show the process behind making the footballs used in the Super Bowl. They were published by AP and across the NFL social media platforms Tuesday night. That same evening, the NFL announced the results of its investigation.

The NFL is expected to announce the next steps it will take, if any, by the end of the week. On "Good Morning America" Thursday, anchor and NFL Hall-of-Famer Michael Strahan weighed in. He said he believes there need to be consequences, though he thinks it is unlikely the NFL will go so far as to disqualify the Patriots from the Super Bowl.

The Super Bowl will be played on Feb. 1, and currently the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots are slated to play.

Fox Sports in a report just issued by Jay Glazer is reporting that Video Analyzation suggests the Patriots, when they were down near the Goal Line on that first drive of the 2nd half may have been using a Sock Ball.

The outcome of the game was not affected..........I also find it really hard to believe that it is always the Patriots breaking rules and everybody else in the NFL is perfect.........

Colts would of won the game once they found out Patriots were cheating they just gave up cause they knew the Refs would help them so they had to lose big to bring it to the public's attention :toast:

This may have been brought up in other threads, but I would think if a ball is inflated at room temperature to 12.5 PSI before a game, when you get it out in cooler weather and it goes through the general scrum of the game such as falling on the ball, kicking and punting, the ball would naturally deflate. Could you lose 0.5 by simply spiking the ball? Before all of you experts get on here giving your opinions, has this ever been tested on a regular basis throughout a game? I think the simple act of measuring the pressure again (which they didn't do) would tell us the answer. So far I'm not really hearing anything about that part of it. But I would think if New England was inflating their footballs to 12.5 and no more than that number at room temperature before the game, they are going to lose some of that PSI during the game. In fact the colder it is the more i would think it would go down. I don't think losing it down to 10.5 is completely out of the question. And exactly how much difference did it make? Don't the officials handle the ball on every play? And it supposedly took them a half of a football game to figure this out? It couldn't have been THAT big of a difference...

it's the principle.

Im all for principle. But that principle better have validity behind it. Had this been a missed game winning FG, a deflated ball would be an issue worth all the attention this is getting.
There is also a principle of not being a whinny beotch and there are just too many of those in the world these days...

Absolutely! same thing happens to car tires. Simple physics

still don't get some of these responses here.. all this doesn't matter because the game was a blowout ? so the cheating is ok because the Colts got blown out ? pretty ignorant response if you ask me... to be honest we're not seeing the Colts crying about all of this... the whiny cry babies some of you are referring to are some of the biggest names of the sport... no bigger name then Jerry Rice in this sport.. he's flat out calling the Pats cheaters... deal with your cheating with the HOF's judging you.... that's the peers you need to be convincing , not the Colts.. If you all don't like being called a cheat, don't cheat..

Reading even this far I can tell you this ain't been brought up in other threads. Only about 3 posts altogether out of about prolly 288 total had any Science, Physics or even really any intellectual examination of this matter at all.

I'll now go back and read the rest of your post. I can tell already though you might just bring a ray of light to the oppressively dark Night that is the current discussion.
