Huh?
Does anyone else find it beyond the realm of ridiculous that so much time is being spent on the inflation of footballs?  Doesn't anyone else think that it makes perfect sense given it's the NFL we're talking about? I mean, where else do you have a billion dollar industry using part time officials who fly in a couple days before a game and are expected to do a great job? We're talking about lawyers, teachers, or other folks who work some other job during the week and they show up once a week for a game? Heck, I officiate high school sports and that's what we do.
Please, don't think for a minute that I am saying high school officials could work NFL games, but it would not surprise me one bit if the pro officials don't test the pressure of the balls before the game, just give them the old squeeze test. Anyone else remember in 2012 when the MIAA (the group that governs interscholastic sports in MA) said everyone in the football playoffs has to use a Spaulding model ball and even gave each school one. But before Natick played Plymouth South, someone from Natick asked an official if they could use another brand, one that is easier to grip and throw in cold weather, and the official said sure. Eventually, Plymouth South discovered the subterfuge, but by that time it was too late. We're talking about an official allowing a school to use an illegal ball when everyone had the correct information.
So drop worrying about what this might do to tarnish the Pats reputation, and if they win, be proud to live in an area where we can enjoy multiple championship teams while other cities would be happy to have one. |

Had to keep 1 ball inflated for the field goal kicker.
I wish they spent this kind of effort on Bengazi.

And this is the guy who they sent downstairs to bring the balls to the field? Knowing he was rouge or disgruntled?
It's getting harder and harder to believe that the NFL doesn't have the goods here. This leak to Glazer today was in response to Bill's telling Goodell to go get his shine box on Saturday, I have to think. And what cards haven't they played yet?
I'd be worried.

Not worried one bit
Even more confident after Kraft gave a strong speech, he must been pissed on the plane. I agree with what he said.
They did not cheat people

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

The biggest disgruntled employee turns out to be an employee of the NFL Mike Kensil , what a shocker.
Like I said, witchhunt
again, I am not worried about the accusation, I am worried though how this effects the game prep and mental state of mind of the players and coaches at the biggest game of the year. |

The witch hunt is at all time high levels now
Let's see how they make this look like anyone took air out of 12 balls accurately in 90 seconds and get them secured into the bag again without anyone noticing. Mp

Late breaking news, two cheerleaders observed rolling around with balls one hour before kickoff on an grassy knoll.

What happens when the refs don't log the ball PSI at the start of the game? Can you prove anything if this is the case, did they even check them?

ya, so we are supposed to take the word of a ref, but they won't take the word of a locker room atendant who said he took a piss and had to keep the balls with him at all times once in his possesion. Plenty of intelligent people are not buying that the pats risked everything to alter gameballs after inspection, guys like Dion Sanders, Stephen A Smith even. and the NFL have people a lot less intelligent working for them who apparently have little to no common sense, just an out to get the team at the top mentallity. F them I say

If nothing is LOGGED then you have nothing, just word of mouth.

Ever tried going for 60 seconds (that's conservatively giving him 30 seconds total on both ends)? He must have been drinking some of those high-priced beers before he got the balls....  |

Did you add any time for washing his hands? And if that didn't dawn on you, remind me never to shake your hand

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but if all the rocket scientists the media have quoted used absolute pressure instead of gauge pressure, a 2psi drop due to temp is accurate
