http://deadspin.com/report-the-nfl-identifies-person-of-interest-in-ball-1681863195Every great American conspiracy needs its patsy, and it looks like Ballghazi has finally found its Lee Harvey Oswald. I can't wait to see who slides into the Jack Ruby roll and shoots him in the chest in the lobby of the NFL offices. I'm pulling for Josh McDaniels.

The fact that a message board of Pats fans are correcting NDT on science is the height of hilarity.

Tire pressure (per square inch) drops between one and two pounds for every 10-degree decrease in temperature, and that can make a big difference to a driver who hasn’t filled up since summer.
On a day like today, when the low temperature was 24 degrees, your tires could be 5 to 10 pounds per square inch lower than they were on a 74-degree morning.
So even if you filled up to a comfortable PSI of 32 in August, your tires could have dropped as much as 25 percent by today — which in most cars is enough to trigger a warning.

And fucking up gauge pressure vs. atmospheric pressure. 12.5 PSI down to 10.5 PSI (gauge) is 27.2 PSI to 25.2 PSI, which is a 7.3% drop rather than anything near 15%.Hoya81 said:

I was wondering who the hell this Jay Walker was. Clearly backing up Bledsoe while Brady was a sophmore in HS gives him great insight.Ed Hillel said:Jay Walker was the team's backup QB in...1994!
There's a link in the OP to my post here:Nightslyr said:Can someone add the differences between gauge pressure and whatever else is going on to the OP? And maybe a link to the YouTube vid with the experiment? That's just as helpful as a recap of what started the whole mess, IMO.
SumnerH said:Note that the nominal pressure of a ball is really shorthand for "X PSI above the normal atmospheric pressure". Normal atmospheric pressure is about 14.7 PSI; a ball that was measured at "13 PSI" was really at 27.7 PSI of total pressure**. If it lost 2 PSI of pressure, then it went from 27.7 PSI to 25.7 PSI of total pressure: about a 7% loss.
The truly intelligent ones probably won't. This whole episode is a test.LuckyBen said:When does Stephen fucking Hawking chime in?
The Social Chair said:It would be nice if the Patriots organization could leak some information. There is no way they weren't aware of this video.
yep. got it for this thread. they are trying to keep us quiet!CoffeeNerdness said:Anyone else getting malware warnings from SoSH threads?

OMG! A BALL Attendant was seen with the BALLS. WTF! He was supposed to be attending to the BALLS.
Jettisoned said:If the investigators had already done close to 40 interviews by Thursday, there's no way they didn't interview the fucking ballboy, right? So they're probably just leaking this shit to put pressure on the ballboy, either because they think he's lying or because they want to scare him into a false confession.
So they can say it wasn't a witch hunt and no one (from the nfl ) gets fired.Return of the Dewey said:
Why would the NFL want a false confession?
