The season long "official NFL thread" that dates back to June is 66 pages. This 10 day old thread is now on page 28. View Quote Not to worry. The 2014 ***Official*** NFL Thread will grow by several pages after I'm done crunching all of the numbers from the seaon to show exactly how many times teams were playing with "out of spec" footballs. Either it's not really a rule violation, or I can try to retroactively lay claim to some portion of the $25K per ball fine. I think this is my opening into professional sportsball analysis. You'll be able to recognize me in the 2015 season as the dude on the sidelines in the ghillie suit with the FLIR camera - I'll be radioing to the coach when it's time to have the refs pressure check the ball. Off the field, I'll be recognizable at NFL events as the little guy with the entourage of marginally unattractive, slightly overweight women - while this might not be much of a claim to fame, it's still and entourage, and it's free food. |

Illegal plays that result in touchdowns?? Hey! THAT sort of stuff might affect the outcome of a game! Refs should have caught the guys not reporting properly and moved them back appropriately. So much for the highest rated officiating crew. I wonder what else they missed, like may be actually measuring the psi of the balls before the game. Funny how there seems to be a common denominator.... ...Patriots? Oh, that's right! Everyone's out to get them... Couldn't be anything else, right? Common denominator is the refs.

Once again comments on how they did not record PSI pregame, and mentions they did NOT record the PSI of the 12 balls they tested at half time before replacing them with the back up balls... If that is true, then everything is a huge fucking waste of time. Even more than it has originally been.

Here's a more detailed write-up from the folks at Carnegie Mellon.
https://uploads.strikinglycdn.com/files/131228/81e5b7f8-aec2-4c83-bb3e-ffcbe2a031ac/HeadSmart%20Labs%20DeflateGate%20Lab%20Report.pdf Where I just made some guesses on game timing, they pulled the actual game timing from The Guardian, which oddly enough is a UK paper. I'll be updating the ArfAnalysis accordingly. For the dry ball analysis, they used a constant volume assumption, where I tried to incorporate elastic effects based on some ESPN measurements from 2013. They cooled the footballs based on game times and measured pressures. Using a constant volume equation of state, they sought to 'sanity check' their results by working backwards to their initial room temperature and arrived at a value of 71ºF, a difference of -4ºF when compared to their initial room temperature of 75ºF. Plugging the ESPN-derived elastic modulus into their work to try to better account for volume changes, I calculate an initial air temperature of 77.6ºF, or +2.5ºF above their initial room temperature - a little bit closer to their room temperature, or possibly indicative of slightly heated air from recent inflation. Something missing from their write up, however, are barometric pressure readings which affect both their initial and final gauge measurements. Accounting for swings in barometric pressure can change the back-calculation of the initial temperature by as much as +/-3ºF. Recall that there was a -0.16 psi swing in barometric pressure during the game (significant). How much was the barometric change during the course of their lab experiment? I don't know. Not to mention, the ArfAanlysis had graphs and stuff. Graphs! |

"she is unable to gauge his mood" synonyms:assess, evaluate, determine, estimate, form an opinion of, appraise, get the measure of, judge, guess; 2. measure the dimensions of (an object) with a gauge. "when dry, the assemblies can be gauged exactly and planed to width" made in standard dimensions. adjective: gauged; adjective: gaged "gauged sets of strings" View Quote so, on the one hand it can mean "guess, estimate", and on the other it can mean actually "measure with an instrument".

Article looking at the HeadSmart Labs results. "This analysis looks solid to me,” said Max Tegmark, a professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who reviewed the paper at The Times’s request. "To me, their measurements mean that there’s no evidence of foul play.” In a usually obscure profession that has received extraordinary attention during the controversy, some academic and research physicists now concede that they made a crucial error in their initial calculations, using an equation called the ideal gas law.

I checked my tires today too. It has been cold out. I checked them two days ago and they were all fine. I had to re-inflate the two rear tires only. I guess it is the only reason I did not get in an accident so it is clearly unfair to someone out there who was looking to get a quick insurance claim from any crash I may have caused from the two rear tires not being at proper pressure. It is just not possible that the rear tires are losing pressure because the aluminum rims are old and for some reason they always lose pressure faster than the front ones do. (Must be a conspiracy and some one had to have fucked with them.) Every QB/ team is allowed to "prepare" the ball pretty much the way they want to. Perhaps the way the Patriots do this leads to loss of pressure in certain weather conditions during the game? Not a breaking of the rules. Following the letter of the rules. No one screwed with the ball after it was measured but it still may have lost pressure over the course of the game. The Colts "prepare" their balls differently, and thus no change was recorded. All within the rules as the NFL has defined them. |
