Uh Oh Hector, if it turns out that the tested footballs were all closer to 1 psi under 12.5, temperature difference alone accounts for the 1 psi
no need to even get into if the refs even used a gauge (absolutely no confirmation on this)
Or whether, if they did use a gauge, that they would still pprove a ball that read, say, 12.0 (absolutely no confirmation-- the ONLY confirmed info is that 1) patriots balls tested under, at halftime, by an unstated amount and 2) NFL looking into how that could have happened. )
Man, that must be really disappointing for you to read that latest report. Everything for your story hinges on a 2.0 psi difference. And even at 2.0 there’s a whole lot of reasonable doubt… but if its 1…you got literally NOTHING.
