Re: Ask A Scientist: Deflategate Is Trumped Up Nonsense

and the colt's footballs were within spec all game long because they are mutant footballs that ignore the laws of thermodynamics?

The Colts could have filled their balls with cold air outside. Therefore no temperature drop and no deflation.

Probably that's what happened when they filled the balls up at half time. They did it outside.

See, the funny thing is EVERYONE went off on this calling the Pats cheaters and it wasn't until I mentioned the temperature issue the first time (before any of the media chimed in) that people even THOUGHT about it.

But the fact is that iof you fill a ball with warm air to a certain psi, if you take it into the cold, it will lose pressure. That's not cheating. If people want to claim it "skirted" the rules, the only people to blame are the people that wrote the rule. Don't hate the Pats for NOT BREAKING THE RULES, just cu2 you feel like it did.

Re: Ask A Scientist: Deflategate Is Trumped Up Nonsense

BS

Dude, the Wilson guy can only attest to how the balls leave the factory, and it only takes an air pressure gauge to deflate one.

And the fact is that footballs, like tires, lose air pressure as the temperature drops. It's high school physics.

Hah! I bet this "scientist" is on Al Gore's payroll too with the global warming nonsense!

Christians don't need scientists to tell us who's good and who's evil!

Crucify them!

Note to scandal seekers: Gases lose volume when it’s cold, meaning the Patriots may not have done anything wrong.

New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick says that he is “not a scientist,” but a basic law of physics taught in high school may well vindicate his team in the controversy dubbed DeflateGate.

On a blackboard, the Ideal Gas Law is written thus:

PV=nRT

The P stands for pressure, the V for volume. The n is the amount of gas, the R a mathematical constant. The T is temperature.

LRA + UF = DS

Dude,

Don't you think that Wilson, like I don't know, basically everyone else in manufacturing has a QA department that extensively tests their products under varying conditions? They know how their products perform on the field better than anybody else...

In the tens of thousands of games played over the years, please explain how no one else has noticed this deflation before?

They are cheating!

Re: Ask A Scientist: Deflategate Is Trumped Up Nonsense

I think it's funnier than **** that physicists are lining up on both sides of this argument, some saying it's possible, some saying it isn't. These people can't even agree on something as simple as temperature's affect on air pressure, yet some still swallow whole the 97% consensus on global warming propaganda. What a hoot.

That being said, there have been differing opinions from all kinds of 'experts' (scientists, QB's, etc) but the majority seem to be falling on the 'liar, liar, pants on fire' side of the fence.

It has nothing to do with the footballs.

It's about the air INSIDE the football and there isn't one set of physics for Wilson and another set for the rest of the world...

for 11 of 12 balls for one of two teams playing in equal conditions? It could be suggested that the Colts over inflated against the rules to account for the loss of pressure. THAT would also be cheating

When the Colts turned the balls over, they were within limits. 12.5 - 13.5.

When they were tested at halftime, they were only reported as still within limits, which could be 12.5. So they could have lost a psi and still be okay.

I actually saw the accused Patriots attendant yesterday. He didn't seem that stressed out despite all of the blame coming down on him and he even let me take his picture.
