Did Tom Brady lie about knowing?

With all the disturbing stuff going on in our faultering Country now I have little interest in how many pounds of air were in a football. But if you want my personal opinion - of course he did! Any QB that has played as long as he has can tell just by feel - no pressure gauge needed!
one of our presidents said "I DID NOT HAVE _______"
And as our secretary of state said "WHAT DOES IT MATTER "
It seems like no one tells it like it is aaaaany more.

So, no one thinks it could have been the difference in temperature between the 70 degree locker room and the 20 degree playing field?
Did they - whoever - test that? Set an official ball to the official limits (12.5 lbs?) at 70 degrees and then place it in a freezer for about a half hour - then measure pressure again?
I know the tires on my cars lose 3 to 4 lbs in the winter and I have to keep an eye on them.
Just asking!!!

There is nothing in the Wells report that states that Brady directed the balls to be under inflated. Sports fans and favorite teams aside, all of you that are crying foul and pointing fingers could care less about air pressure and are merely piling on because Tom Brady is one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the GAME.
If you were the party being charged on such flimsy evidence for some crime, you would be squealing like a hog going to slaughter.
It was also found that several of the Colts balls were under inflated. Where is the commentary on that?
Could Tom or should Tom have known by feel on a 20 degree day that a ball was a pound off, maybe. Is he obligated by the rule book to run right over to an official and tell him, I don't think so. Several officials touch the ball each and every play before placing it on the field, should they not have felt the difference? Are they too not considered professionals?
As far as spygate is concerned, teams have been stealing other teams signals since the beginning of time. My coaches did it when I played little league ball and that was a million years ago. Why do you think most coaches hold their clip board in front of their mouth when talking to a player about a play. Teams even hire lip readers to sit in the stands with binoculars to steal signals.
With all that goes on in the world with cheating and lying by elected officials and even priests, all of this over an 11 1/2 pound football seems rather silly. Again, lets look at the stats.
First half (? under inflated) 17 to 7 with one interception
Second half (regular inflation) 28 to 0 no interceptions

Car guy rule of thumb. You will lose 1 pound for every 10 degrees drop.( Or rise) That is why I put in a few more pounds when the Vette goes away for its 6 month sleep in November in a unheated garage!
