Also, repeat offenders are punished more severely. That happens in our legal system all the time. There is no argument NE is a repeat offender. I think the punishment is a clear message to the Patriots and the league that these types of unethical repeated offenses will not be tolerated.

12.5 psi is the minimum allowed pressure. Page 73 of the Wells report states that the 4 randomly selected Indy balls after the game measured out at:
12.5 psi
12.1 psi
12.45 psi
12.35 psi
Where the Patriots balls measured out at:
13.15 psi
12.95 psi
12.95 psi
13.25 psi
