Please dont misunderstand my intentions. I could still care less about the NFL. but I happend to hear this dumb deflate gate story and couldnt resist. Here is what we know: -The regulation weight of a NFL football is 13lbs +/- 0.5lbs. -The patriots/colts game took place in Foxborough MA on 1/18/15, during which the outside temperature was about 51F. Anyone who took a even a HS chemistry course will remember that Gay-Lussacs law states that pressure increases proportionally with temperature, in other words P1/T1 = P2/T2. A typical indoor temperature is between 68 to 70. If the game ball was inflated to exactly 13PSI at these conditions, when taken outside the more dense air pressure inside the ball would be somewhere between 9.47 and 9.75PSI. Well out of spec.
