Colts balls

[SDGuy73]

I don't know if anyone has brought this up.

Three out of four were deflated. We hear that the rest of the Colts balls (8) were not tested because the refs didn't have enough time. But a Pats employee can deflate 12 balls in 90 seconds.

Believe it or not, someone, took 12 balls under near perfect conditions. The balls had been inflated to 13.5 psi. The balls were placed on an 8 foot table. Several men were each given 3 separate opportunities to use a needle and deflate the 12 balls to less than 12 psi as fast as possible. The fastest recorded deflation of all 12 balls was something like 132 seconds. Think about it. You grab a ball, set it in your arm, insert a needle for several seconds and put it back on the table. 11 seconds sounds about right per ball.

Considering the Patriots ball boy had 12 balls in a bag, emptied the bag, deflated 12 balls, put them back in the bag and walked out of the bathroom in 94 seconds......I really have to wonder if he didn't just drop the bag on the floor and take a piss and wash his hands, and walk out.

One other thought........when I inflate a football or a basketball for my grandson, I wet the needle before I stick it in the ball. That takes a few seconds too. And you have to do it every time you stick the needle in the ball.

Another simple question.....why did the Indianapolis Colts ball attendant have an air gauge on the sideline? Oh yeah, he measures Andrew Luck's balls consistently throughout the game to insure they are properly inflated.

Big Ken beat me to it. It shocks me that in the Wells report it clearly states that they Indy equip manager tested the ball!!! That is a clear violation, and nothing was done. In the whole Wells report, that was the only cheating that actually took place, and confirmed!!!!...LOL. I honestly think the league told Indy to do this. If they some how got a ball, to test it and let the NFL know.

I also find it funny that the NFL ran out of time to test the Colts balls. LOL....see funny. They had all those Refs, NFL security, Kensil and the rest of the goons there. So you mean to tell me that NFL security, Kensil and whoever else was there could not finish the process? Please. The ran out of time because the Colts balls were doing the same thing as NE, and they were warmer than NE's. This is how Kensil started the whole thing.

Back to the bathroom thing. If he dumped the footballs out, he would have to chase them around the bathroom, can't imagine the floor was built flat. Imagine dropping 12 balls onto the floor, you think they just land there and stay, ummmm no. Now say he just took one out of the bag and tested it. So did he put that ball back into the bag, or put it on the floor. Puts the ball back into the bag, how does he know what one he deflated? Drops the ball on the floor, now has to pick them back up and put them back into the bag.I am sure you can deflate 12 balls in 94 seconds if they were already laid out, not moving and the needle ready. Try testing it with them in a bag in a bathroom.

BS the ball boy is a trained professional he could easily have done it. Says 3/4 of the haters on SportsHoopla

The refs aren't professional ball handlers...so they couldn't possibly air, deflate or measure them in a short period of time.
