It's the shirts.  The blue shirts with the white collar.  We hates them.

 

Anyhoo, all this stuff about Ideal Gas Law is meaningless.  The Ideal Gas Law was invented so chemists could ponder hypotheticals which do not exist in nature.  However, there is a much more ideal gas for footballs than "air".  It is nitrogen, which is much less affected by temperature changes.  Many tire stores will fill your tires with nitrogen, which provides several benefits - less seepage, more stable psi with temperature swings, and the gas is less harmful to the rubber in tires.

 

They should just standardize the balls to 13 psi filled with nitrogen, and make everybody use the same ball.  But you'd probably have the Patriots using a nitrogen / helium mix in Foxboro.  Cheaters gonna cheat.
