Deflate Gate Now INFLATE GATE?

Instead of investigating the Patriots DEFLATED balls the last few weeks, more and more physicists across the country are asking a more OBVIOUS question. "Why were the Colts balls still meeting the league standard AFTER the league championship game?"

You see, it turns out that average physicists, the ones that were talking about an average deflation rate of less than a pound during the course of the game under the weather conditions present, didn't know their "Ideal Gas Law" as well as they thought they did. GOOD Physicists are now pointing out that all those reporting EARLY failed to consider that balls are inflated with TWICE as much PSI to register their correct readings.

Basically you need 25 pounds of pressure to register 12.5 because of the natural pressure OUTSIDE the ball all of the time. What does all that mean? A ball SHOULD LOSE 2 pounds of pressure over the course of an hour or two in 50 degree temperatures. A wet valve under rainy conditions will cause a ball to lose even more pressure.

MIT professor, Max Tegmark, was explaining all of this to a reporter at the New York Times this week. Other top physicists added their approval of Max's remarks. A few admitted that they too had failed to consider pressure outside the ball the ball when they did the initial math.

That begs the question. Why were the Colts balls still good AFTER the game? I think the math speaks for itself. The Colts cheated by over-inflating the balls substantially BEFORE the game.

Physics doesn't lie. Either the refs failed to notice, or the wrong team is being accused of cheating.

I hope Commissioner Goodell starts an investigation on the over-inflation when deflation gate is over. He did say yesterday that the league is being thorough in this matter.

I always thought it was the COLTS! After checking Max's math, I now KNOW it.

The Colts should receive the stiffest penalties for making such a mockery of the game. They're always cheating and getting away with it!

Oh, by the way, ESPN had their own sports science guys investigate the whole matter as well on a special Tuesday night. Their findings agreed with Max as well. They also added that the difference in PSI in all of these balls would have no effect on the game whatsoever. NONE.

Shakespeare said it best, "Much Ado About Nothing."
