No one has ever mentioned “The Officials” in this entire investigation. No one can tell me that the game official whose responsibility is to retrieve the ball and place it at the appropriate yard line, did not notice that the game ball was less than adequately inflated. NFL Officials need to be held accountable for this mess as well.
The footballs used in the game were inspected by the officials prior to the game ... then tampered with. An official picking up a game ball in the field of play to reposition it wouldn't know if it had been tampered with because he wasn't squeezing it to determine if it was under the PSI limit.
Totally agree. They knew what was afoot. They knew ahead of time.
