Being born and raised in western New York, I am no fan of the New England Patriots. I want that understood before you continue.
That having been said, I wonder how genuine this problem is of the deflating footballs. I know, for example, in my own experience that when you have a tire let’s say a truck tire, blown up to 100 psi, and you subjected to temperatures that are much colder than where it was blown up, you will get what’s commonly referred to as shrinkage. The pressure will go down rather substantially. That’s why you have cars with extremely low tires, many of them having gone flat entirely every time there’s a cold snap here in the Northeast.
So, with that in mind, I wonder why it is that nobody has thought to apply that to the situation currently ravaging the NFL? Have we lost all ability for critical thinking?
Blow a bunch of footballs up, in cold weather, and then wonder why the pressure inside them has gone down substantially?
That having been said, can we get off this nonsense and get on to something important?
