Report: Only one Pats football deflated
Deflategate could be turning in the Patriots’ favor, if the latest media leak in the NFL’s investigation proves true.
According to an anonymously sourced NFL Network report Sunday morning, just one of the 12 footballs used by New England in the first half of the AFC Championship Game two weeks ago was judged by league officials to be two pounds of air per square inch below the NFL’s 12.5 PSI minimum.
The league’s official network reported 11 of the 12 balls were underinflated, but contradicted an ESPN report from last week that all 11 of the suspect balls were two psi below the limit.
NFL Network reported “many of the underinflated balls were just a few ticks under the minimum.”
The network also reported the ballboy caught on video dipping into a Gillette Stadium bathroom with the balls for 98 seconds was “elderly.”
The NFL Network report was just the latest twist in a controversy the league has turned over to an outside investigator for a probe it says will not be completed for several more weeks.
Commissioner Roger Goodell said during his state-of-the-league press conference Friday the NFL has “made no judgments so far” and won’t publicly comment until investigator Ted Wells is finished with his work.
If the above holds water, I wouldnt be surprised to see the Pats sue the NFL. Those "anonymous" sources of ESPN and NFL dragged the Pats through he mudd along with a Nancy Grace conviction.
