The refs checked the balls 5 minutes before game time and they were all properly inflated. They then gave the balls to the Pats when the game started. By halftime 11 of 12 were underinflated. Somebody was letting air out of the Patriots’ footballs. All the Colts balls were checked and were regulation.
Which makes the whole story even more absurd. The refs didn't at the start of the 2nd half penalize the Pats or attempt to equalize the 'advantage'. And now we have this. Some problems should be immediately fixed and corrected.
NFL...making 'private' enterprise similar to .gov.
So if I am Belicheck, the refs need to check my balls several times a game.
While you’re down there ...
