No, I'm talking about the laws of physics, not silly conspiracies like the notion that a guy can't take a piss before going onto the field of play.
How does it feel knowing that all your outrage stemmed from a report that was proven false and had to be retracted?
The Ideal Gas Law, my friend. It's not just physics, it's the Law.
No evidence of impropriety whatsoever, virtually identical fumble rate this year versus previous years.
As I've said many times before, gaseous physics is not an exact science when it comes to this situation. Even Thomas Healy has concurred with that statement. And there were footballs that read as low as 10.5 PSI which does deviate beyond the expected range.
So, we have footballs that were well below that expected range (as much as 10.5 PSI) and we have scientists that are proponents of the Ideal Gas Law that claim that concur that it's not an exact science anyway.
I don't think that proves AEI's point (as they conveniently neglect the footballs that read below 11.0 PSI and just go with the average).
That's where the text messages come into play. It's irresponsible and intellectually dishonest to claim that there's hard evidence that proves their point. They may have a point and that may make it hard to come to conclusion of guilty...but, the evidence is nowhere near strong enough to presume innocence.
Instead, we have text messages between 2 equipment guys where they are specifically talking about deflating footballs for payment from Tom Brady. And when the story broke (before their names broke), they were texting each other trying to get their stories straight and checking up on Jastremski to see if he was okay. That and they have video of him sneaking off to the bathroom with the footballs by himself...something he was not supposed to do.
Tom Brady wouldn't pay Jastremski to deflate footballs unless he knew it was illegal. Even if they were supposed to be deflated to the legal limit of 12.5 PSI...that's Jastremski's job. You only pay a guy in that situation if he's doing something illegal and it's his butt on the line if they get caught.
That's what none of the Patriots fanboys can refute. They will argue an inexact science and try to make it exact even though experts will tell you that it's not an exact science. That's the only argument they have. But, they can't admit that argument is more or less 'iffy' and the texts show a plan to do it, a motive and payment for it along with a video showing Jastremski breaking protocol and having the opportunity to do it.
