Pro Football Hall of Famer and former San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jerry Rice said the Patriots had an "edge" against the Colts in the 2014 AFC title game. This is the best and most recommended way to deflate a football. First, you need to locate the valve on the ball, which is usually at the top of the ball. Then, moisten the needle with water or saliva to make it easier to insert. Under the Ideal Gas Law, the working theory is that the air pressure in the balls would rise during warm days and fall during cold days, which is what happened. Playmakers reveals that "numerous" measurements made at halftime of games during the 2015 season produced numbers beyond the permitted 12.5 to 13.5 PSI levels and correlated to the Ideal Gas Law. That means the footballs used by the Patriots were consistent with the conditions that they were playing in that day as it relates to the recorded data in 2015, distorting those initial allegations of wrongdoing. Commentary on the initial punishment was mixed. Bleacher Report referred to the penalties as "brutal." [75] Various commentators also expressed that the Patriots' reputation as a team that bends rules appeared to factor into the harshness of the punishment. [75] [76] Others described the punishment as "firm but fair." [77] NFLPA appeal [ edit ] Roger Goodell On May 23, 2016, Brady petitioned the court of appeals, requesting an en banc rehearing by the full court, [111] but the petition was denied on July 13, 2016. [112] [113] Boston Globe columnists Bob Hohler and Ben Volin wrote: "Patriots great Tom Brady suffered a resounding defeat in a federal appeals court Wednesday, leaving him with the daunting option of a last-ditch plea to the Supreme Court in his arduous quest to clear his name. More than 14 months after the National Football League punished Brady for allegedly conspiring with Patriots employees, including an aide who dubbed himself The Deflator, to tamper with the air pressure of footballs in a conference championship game, the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit flatly rejected Brady's appeal of his four-game suspension. Not a single judge on the 13-member panel issued a dissent." [112] Two days later, Brady announced that he would not appeal further and would serve his four-game suspension at the start of the 2016 NFL season. [5] [114] Media coverage [ edit ] Initial reaction [ edit ] Roxanne Jones of CNN argued that the Patriots should have been disqualified from participation in the Super Bowl even before the NFL had begun its investigation.

Gershman, Jacob (April 25, 2016). "Why the NFL Won its 'Deflategate' Appeal". The Wall Street Journal . Retrieved April 26, 2016. The NFL also announced a three-day appeal deadline for charges against Brady according to the 2011 collective-bargaining agreement, and a deadline of May 21 for charges against the team. [69] Brady's agent indicated that the suspension would be appealed. [70] The Patriots suspended Jim McNally and John Jastremski indefinitely on May 6, and the NFL indicated that the men could not be rehired without the league's approval. [71] Patriots owner Robert Kraft issued a statement stating that the punishment "far exceeded" reasonable expectations, was based on circumstantial evidence and that Brady had Kraft's unconditional support. [72] After Judge Berman vacated the Brady suspension, the Patriots requested that Jastremski and McNally be reinstated; the NFL officially did so on September 16, 2015. [73] [74] Find a ballpoint pen or other thin, straight piece of metal that is smaller than the diameter of the valve on your football. Moisten the object with saliva, water, or coconut oil. Insert the object slowly into the valve, being careful not to damage it or puncture the bladder. Press down gently and steadily on the object to release the air. Bloodgate: The events surrounding a faked injury to Tom Williams of rugby union side Harlequins in a Heineken Cup quarter-final against eventual champions Leinster in April 2009. Fake blood duped the referee into allowing Quins to send on a blood replacement, at the instigation of Quins coach Dean Richards. It was later admitted that Williams' mouth had been cut open immediately after the match in an attempt to cover up the fake injury. Richards was ultimately banned from rugby for three years.

The strength of the initial media reaction to the incident contrasts with the superficial coverage that media outlets afforded to allegations that Cleveland Browns staff sent prohibited text messages [129] or that the Atlanta Falcons may have secured an unfair advantage by generating artificial crowd noise during opponents' offensive snaps; some argued that if those accusations were true, "that's a far more serious offense than any deflated footballs could possibly be." [130] In a November 2014 game between the Minnesota Vikings and Carolina Panthers, with a wind-chill temperature of −7°F (−22°C), both teams used sideline heaters to warm the footballs during the game in violation of league policies, [131] but no penalties were issued in that case and the media reaction was superficial.

Retrieved February 2, 2015.It's also impossible to identify what, if any, advantage was gained as a result of the allegeddeflated footballs. Update: This post originally cited a Boston Herald story, which reported that at least one physics professor thought the temperature could not have been the only factor in the balls' deflation. But we've since heard from that professor that there was a miscommunication with the Herald that is being clarified and that though temperature can account for a small change in the ball pressure, anything substantially larger would call for another explanation. So we've updated the post to remove the misreported information and regret the error. On May 7, when asked to comment on the report, Brady stated that he had no reaction because the report was just 30 hours old and he was still "digesting" it. He stated that he hoped to comment more fully in the future. [45] He also referred to owner Robert Kraft's comments following the release of the report. [46] Brady's agent Don Yee criticized the report, stating that investigators jumped to conclusions. [47] Howe, Jeff (January 29, 2015). "Dean Blandino: Referee doesn't document football PSI levels".
