I took a wild ass guess at the kinetic part.

The math is so ridiculous that it'd be much easier just to blow up a ball and stick it in the fridge and see what happens.
The first thing a Sailor would ask is: Were the gauges calibrated? If they weren't, they cannot know anything. I'm starting to believe that the Colts noticed the effect on their own balls and went fishing.

Adam, I ask only because I don't know: Were the Colts' balls checked on the field, too?
