How would the Colts know the PSI of every ball the Patriots had?  Additionally, doesn't that fall under the same umbrella of 'feigning innocence' like you know, that whole thing you just barely stated about the Patriots handing over the footage?  As I said, you lack objectivity to really look at this issue.

I said the Colts could expect that the other eleven balls of the Patriots would be within regulation. Isn't it a reasonable expectation to assume that the opposing team will play by the rules? Or do you now want to argue that the Patriots are chronic cheaters? In that case the Colts wouldn't have needed to manipulate the ball themselves.

'Could' being the operative word, the Colts also 'could' have tampered with the football that they intercepted.  The Patriots 'could' also expect the opposing team will play within the rules.  And try as you may, you're not going to twist my words around on me.  I never suggested the Patriots are chronic cheaters (even twice in 7 years, wouldn't be considered chronic, by the way), I merely suggested that the same 'hidden meaning' you applied to the Patriots providing the footage of the 'elderly man' entering the bathroom for 98 seconds, was exactly the same as applying a 'hidden meaning' to the Colts handing in a ball they may or may not have tampered with.

But hey, everyone's entitled to their opinion, thankfully the Wells' investigators are probably taking a wider look at this than you.
