There’s no evidence of anything in this matter.
If you are aware of any specific evidence, I’d like to hear it, but so far I have heard nothing other than an accusation.
11 of the 12 footballs weighed by the NFL at halftime were 2 pounds under the required weight. It wasn’t random or due to equipment failure.
If the officials were not in on it, then the ballboys deflated the balls. Did the ballboys act on their own?
In New England? Not a chance...
No big deal?
With properly aired balls, the Pats may have had trouble hanging onto the ball in the rain. They could have been down by 21 at the half? No big deal? I think the NFL has to suspend someone for the game, if for no other reason than to ensure that everyone understands that the NFL was in no way involved with this.
This matter goes to the heart of integrity in the NFL.
Pete Rose got a lifetime ban from baseball for tampering with the integrity of baseball. Something BIG will come of this...
