I would think so, you are only letting a few seconds of air out of each, you don't want it too obvious because the refs do handle the balls and can determine if one is obviously low. Poking a waxed hollow metal shaft down hole is not very time consuming. In hot weather we often just let a little air out of our basketballs if they are too lively and it only takes a second or two.
Yep. And this McNally character had been a part time employee for 32 years, including for Brady’s entire tenure. He knew how deflate & how much, and how to do it quickly.
The worst is Brady, though. All of it was done at his insistence, and then he coerced the asst. equipment mgr. to lie during numerous, early morning phone calls in the days right after the cheating was found out. And last, he repeatedly lied to the media and the public about it...@-ho!e.
