You're cherry picking the data. Any true, impartial analysis would look at all the balls and fact remains that when you look at all the balls, the overall average is in range.

You admitted above that they wouldn't deflate only some of them.
Therefore, if they deflated all of them, then the overall average should be lower than science predicts. It also makes zero sense to say they deflated all of them when some of them were actually *higher* than what is expected.

Only 6 of 12 balls were below the predicted range. If we include the intercepted ball, 3 were in range and 3 were above. Even if we take away the intercepted ball, 6 of 11 below range is not "a vast majority."

I didn't admit anything like that. This isn't the first time in this thread you have tried to suggest I said something I didn't. I am bowing out of this conversation. I have my opinion based on the facts as I see them. You have your opinion on the facts as you see them. Good luck.

You wrote "I am not suggesting that the Pats only deflated just a couple of footballs. I never even hinted at that." A denial that stringent implies that you believe the reverse to be true. But I guess you don't even have the courage of your own convictions.

Regardless..... this is the 2nd time you've bowed out of the conversation. Hopefully this time it sticks.

Yeah right. Then you would have no one to play "CSI:Foxboro" with.

That is just factual incorrect. The report says the Pat balls were re-inflated after testing the 4 Indy balls and the 4 Indy balls were tested seconds after the Pats balls. They only tested 4 Indy balls because time was running low and they were all within range.

Once re-inflated, they were put back in the bags and brought outside.

They were immediately brought back into the locker room and tested after the game and none lost pressure.

So, correct me if Im wrong here, but the weather conditions only cause loss of psi in the first half of games, but not the 2nd half?

With EVERYTHING that has come out, and keeps coming out, the gift that keeps giving, and your outright denial of EVERYTHING how can you of all people talk to anybody about "convictions?"
