Getting the ball and spotting it, highly unlikely you'd notice the difference, especially when rushing to get the ball set for the next snap. Its only if you tried to grip, put pressure on it, that you would notice the 2 psi difference.
And yes it was the equipment manager of the Colts that noticed it after Jackson gave him the ball.
The refs removed a couple balls from the game, and after the game all 12 balls were confiscated to check. Reported 11 of 12 were under inflated by 2 psi. So trying to split up Brady's stats in the game is pointless. They used the balls the whole game.
2 psi is a good difference when talking about grip to throw and catch. I hope the NFL comes down really hard on the Pats.
