    @Riverman , page 8 of the report is where the table is located. Just checked again @RTH is right....

    a patriots fan made this and they still have a higher score than us. Lol. They actually site Haynesworths stomp as a CHEAT along with cheap football hits. Lmao. Not to mention they accuse every single team of spygate even though there isn't any proof of that.

    Patriots fans are so desperate to save what little legacy they have left.

    Page 8 of report: Two officials, Blakeman and Prioleau. Colts had 4 balls measured, pats 11. Blakemans measurements had all 4 Colts balls ok and all Pats balls well below limits. Prioleau's measurements had all 11 Pats balls below limit and 10 of 11 below 12 lbs. Prioleau's had 3 of 4 of colts below limit but none under 12.15 PSI.

    So statistically pats measurements were much lower, Colts were not. Even so, the purpose of the report was to ascertain if the Pats intentionally deflated the balls which the report states is probable they did.

    Now that is clear, let's not get confused again over cherry picked data.

    Not sure how the data is "cherry picked", and I don't recall either RTH or I making any exaggerations on what it says. It says what it says....according to one of the two gauges used, 75% of the balls used by the Colts measured below the 12.5 psig limit, period.

    Also, good to see that you softened up your language from your original post. Nowhere in the report is it stated as definitively as you had originally stated it in your post.

    Finally, a difference of 1 psig (some slightly more, some less) is not what I would considered that significant given the different starting pressures and the fact that we are measuring with gauges here. IMO we are getting too "fine" with accuracy expectations from a gauge.
