Man...you just got my hackles up! I'm looking forward to a second Seahawk SuperBowl win in 2 years! I wagered my son in VA for some good ol' VA ham that the Hawks would make it to the Supper Bowl. I love to beat him at something!

I'm just wondering how many ref timeouts there will be to check the ball pressure....LOL...Bill Nye's an idiot......fill the ball in the warm and take it outside in cooler temps...the moisture in the air inside the ball condenses and the pressure goes down....no need to deflate with a needle, etc...

The Carnegie Mellon experiment

An experiment performed by a team at Carnegie Mellon provides empirical support for the Patriots? claim to have done nothing unusual. The Carnegie experimentalists inflated a batch of footballs to 12.5 psi at a room temperature of 75?F, then let the balls equalize to a new ambient temperature of 50?F, resulting in an average pressure drop of 1.8 psi. (They also wet the leather balls to simulate the rainy conditions of the game, surmising that this might allow stretching that would reduce air pressure in the ball, but this seems likely to be a minor factor.)
