I mean if they didnt check them at the beginning of the game, there's nothing there.
The problem for the Pats with the balls being deflated at halftime is that if Mort is accurate on the amount of pressure in the balls at halftime and they were measured to be at least 12.5 PSI before hand, they couldnt have naturally lost that much pressure.
If the refs didnt actually measure the balls before the game, there's nothing here. The balls can lose pressure in the weather and there's no way to know if they lost more pressure than is natural, they might have been underinflated to begin with. Pats responsibility under the rules is to get the balls approved and then not **** with them, not measure the PSI throughout the game. Like massive lol if the NFL hasnt squashed this and the 11 balls werent measured before the game, but I suspect they were.
