A game-used ball was tested at halftime— an unprecedented occurrence at thetime— and a years-long investigation and legal battle ensued. A new NFL ordinance has since been adopted that games can be randomly selected to have footballs removed at halftime and analyzed. Deflategate was the term used to refer to the scandal and the corresponding investigation into allegations Brady and the Patriots broke NFL rules bydeflatingfootballs duringthe 2014 AFC title game against the Indianapolis Colts. However, as time wears on the spotlight is growing increasingly strong on Brady, whose performance in his news conference on Thursday failed to convince many observers. To deflate a football without a needle, you can use a pen or paperclip. Here are the steps you can follow: Caffrey, Dan (September 17, 2015). " "Stunning And Brave" – South Park – TV Review".

It also comes with an in-built pressure gauge, so you know when to stop inflating for perfect ball performance.

The NFL requires that all game footballs be inflated to a pressure between 12.5 and 13.5 pounds per square inch (psi), and that they weigh 14 to 15 ounces (397 to 425 grams), ESPN reported. The footballs in the playoff game were underinflated by 2 psi. The balls were reinflated and used during the second half, and the balls' pressures were measured again after the game, but those test results have not yet been released, ESPN reported. The Ball must be a "Wilson," hand selected, bearing the signature of the Commissioner of the League, Roger Goodell, " the rule in question begins in a faintly ridiculous manner. This week there were two 'gates' when Twirlgate hit the news after Eugenie Bouchard defeated Kiki Bertens in the second round of this year's Australian Open. Asked during her on-court interview to "give us a twirl", Bouchard reluctantly agreed, but the request was considered sexist and attracted a wave of social media outrage. On May 14, the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) filed an appeal of Brady's four-game suspension. [78] The NFL also announced that Roger Goodell would preside over Brady's appeal, despite objections from the NFLPA, which requested a neutral arbitrator. [79]

Make sure the ball is completely deflated before attempting to remove the needle or valve tool to avoid injury. The needle of your football pump should be inserted into the ball’s inflation hole very carefully. Try to avoid inserting it at an angle, as this could result in damage to the bladder inside. If there’s resistance, try lubricated the inflation needle with some cooking oil. Volin, Ben (March 3, 2016). "Brady's lawyer feels pressure from judges". The Boston Globe .

Update: This post originally cited a Boston Herald story, which reported that at least one physics professor thought the temperature could not have been the only factor in the balls' deflation. But we've since heard from that professor that there was a miscommunication with the Herald that is being clarified and that though temperature can account for a small change in the ball pressure, anything substantially larger would call for another explanation. So we've updated the post to remove the misreported information and regret the error. The official rules of the National Football League require footballs to be inflated to a gauge pressure of between 12.5 and 13.5 pounds per square inch (86 and 93kPa) when measured by the game officials. The rules do not specify the temperature at which such measurement is to be made. [8] As stated by the pressure-temperature law, there is a positive correlation between the temperature and pressure of a gas with a fixed volume and mass. Thus, if a football were inflated to the minimum pressure of 12.5 psi at room temperature, the pressure would drop below the minimum as the gases inside cooled to a lower ambient temperature on the playing field. [9]The best way is to use a football pump. Football pumps have a needle that can be used to both inflate and deflate the ball. When you want to let the air out, simply insert the needle into the valve and wait until no more air escapes. How does a football or soccer ball valve work? There are different ways to deflate a football, and the method you choose will depend on the tools you have available. In this article, we’ll explore three ways to deflate a football. 1.
