Surprising to think that you've made it all the way to 6th grade.
Does anybody seriously believe that NFL footballs are of noticeably different sizes depending upon whether or not it is raining that day? Clearly you could not possibly think this and still be capable of typing so I'm going to have to go with you are simply a liar.
Hey "real scientist", you know that actual, real scientists have tested this in the exact same conditions as the AFC Championship and found the PSI to drop an average of 1.8 PSI? The temperature accounted for 1.1 PSI and the wet conditions another .7 PSI.
This confirms the statements released by MIT and Boston College.
http://www.headsmartlabs.com/HeadSmart Labs found that on average the footballs dropped 1.1 PSI from the 25 degree temperature change alone. The Lab also found that when the leather was wet, the ball dropped an additional 0.7 PSI. In combination, it was found that on average the footballs lost 1.8 PSI with a max of 1.95 PSI from exposure to game day elements.
