I found this on another website and copied it for some in this site to see. Hopefully it explains the whole situation.



Let’s say there are ten kids who race every week. One kid (Bill) always wins. No matter how long the race is or what the weather is, Bill always ends up winning in the end. The runners aren’t allowed to drink water before the race. However, everybody does and nobody says anything. 7 years ago, one of the runners named Jet tattled on Bill for drinking some water. Even though everyone was doing it, Bill was punished and labeled a cheater.
Now, at the beginning of every race, there is a referee who counts down 3…2…1…Go! The rule is that the kids must leave on Go! But nobody ever does. Everybody leaves on 1 trying to gain an advantage. Everybody knows they aren’t following the official rule, but nobody cares because it’s still on the level.
Now, one day, after losing races to Bill for 15 years, one of the runners, let’s call him Colt, decides that he’s had enough humiliation. You see, Bill not only wins every time, but he also fucks all the other kid’s girlfriends and stuffs all the other runners in lockers. So after losing yet another race, Colt tells the referee and everybody in the crowd that Bill left on 1 and not on Go like the rule states. All the people in the crowd who have supported these loser runners for years are full of jealousy and envy. They bring up the watergate from 7 years ago. They start demanding that Bill never be allowed to run again. Those who are there supporting Bill calmly point out that is ridiculous. Bill wasn’t cheating because he didn’t gain any advantage! Everybody was doing it! Bill won because he was simply Too Big, Too Strong, and Too Fast. To make matters worse, supporters of Colt start bitching about how Bill’s fans are the only ones making a big deal of this. Of course all they are doing is pointing out how this wasn’t cheating and it’s absurd that people want Bill to never run again.
Hopefully those morons understand this.

Saying "everybody does it" is stupid and untrue.

You get disqualified or punished for cheating because you were found cheating. That is the issue here.

Patriots fans aren't exactly covering themselves in glory on this matter.

What would everyone be talking about for 2 weeks if this issue hadn't come up?

I'm pretty sick of hearing about it.

Let's also call one of those runners "Seahawk" and he is taking adderall before every race but always comes in second and still beats Colt. Colt is everyone's bitch.

12 of 12 Colts balls were still properly inflated at halftime, yet "everyone does it."

Of course they are gonna follow the rules during the game that they rat on thier opponents......I would like to think that they are not dumb.

it may depend on the starting point, but I concede it doesn't pass the smell test

however, I don't think it comes close to rising to the level of impact some people are making it out to be

Its fair to assume that the Colts balls started out between 12.5 and 13.5 psi, which would make them legal. Even if they were at the highest allowable inflation of 13.5, that means the balls lost at most 1 psi to keep them within legal limits. But the Patriots balls lost more than 2 psi in the first half, was the weather worse on the Pats sideline to make their balls lose more air pressure? Or is it more plausible that a member of the Patriots equipment staff took the air out himself? I guess we should just believe the control freak head coach and the player who this affects the most when they raise their arms and ask us to believe them when they tell us that they have no idea how this happened.

They need to check the guages and whether the refs followed protocol
