Now last time i checked the weather and temperature were the same on the patriot's sideline and the colts' sideline. If it was due to temperature the colts ball would have lost 2 psi as well. This would mean that the colts ball would have at 11.5 psi a half time if they started at the max inflated pressure of 13.5 pre game check. For the weather/temperature rationale to hold the colts' ball should have failed as well at half time. We know that was not the case. So unless the patriots are deliberately filling their balls with hot air to pass inspection we can reasonably deduce that the balls were altered after inspection.

There are so many variables you cannot be exact as you are trying to be. The point I'm trying to make is that there are very reasonable, simple, provable and plausible scientific explanations
that would explain what happened rather than jumping on the band wagon and blindly accusing someone of cheating
