I haven't read the thread, so apologies if this has been said before, but
- "Deliberate action" leaves room for sauna theories as well as for actual deflation.
- Trying to reconstruct the curve as to what temperature the balls were when would be difficult. Indeed I'd guess that the technology to do so doesn't reliably exist.
- Obviously, the NFL will look hard to see if somebody stuck a needle into a ball at an unauthorized time, but I'm guessing pretty strongly the Pats are innocent on that score.
