Apparently each team supplies 12 balls...then there are 6 'special' just for placekickers (not sure if that means just field goals or kickoffs, too)

Now...if pressure is measured at room temperature then the balls are stored in cold temps, there will be a drop in pressure...so conceivably balls inflated only to the minimum pressure indoors would be below normal outdoors.....but 2 lbs in a football is a lot...it'd be like running your car's tires at what 25 lbs? In other words, noticeable.

Would this have changed Sunday's outcome? We'd assume no....but what about the week before? Then there's the people saying 'these things only come up because it's the Patriots'....right, because it appears they're the only ones tryin' crap like this.
