2. Were the Colts balls tested? If this is a fair analysis, they should be.
3. Who has control over the balls? The referees, not the teams.
4. There is no evidence that anyone saw any balls being tampered with.
And then there is this -- evidence of a real double standard. The only conspiracy at play here is of the poor whinging losers, doing everything they can to smear the Pats. Get over it.

From the transcript (you can listen to it yourself in the link above):
Nantz: We talked to Rodgers about ‘How do you like your football?’ because you know, you can rub them up before the game, this is something you really kind of created this for everyone else in the league.
Simms: I don’t know if I did, because the quarterbacks got tired of complaining. But he said something that was unique. ‘I like to push the limits to how much air we can put in the football – even go over what they allow you to do. See if the officials take air out of it,’ because he thinks its easier for him to grip, he likes them tight of course he has very big hands and you can tell that by watching him play.
- Play call -
Nantz: …You’ve never heard of a guy really desiring the football to be fat and overinflated, correct?
Simms: Everybody wants it smaller and soft so they can dig their fingers into it. (More on Rodgers’ hands)
Nantz talks more about Rodgers’ hands
Simms: You know, the officials do check those footballs, and sometimes you can get lucky and put an extra half a pound of air in there to help Aaron Rodgers out.
