Too much speculation by the haters and slappies IMO. None of this is going to get sorted out until after the Super Bowl, and even then it is going to be mostly about damage control. If the Pats are absolved by the NFL, many will vies this as a CYA exercise by the NFL. If the Pats are hammered, many will view them as scapegoats who were unfairly singled out for punishment. A thorough investigation would lend credibility to the NFL, or it could help the NFL reach the conclusion it wants. I believe the latter is more likely - Gotta protect the brand.

Florio ("closer to 1 psi less" vs. Mort ("at least 2 psi") sources = Toss up. All we know is that the Pats balls were non-conforming at halftime and the Colts were conforming. Without knowing the actual psi measurements, everyone - including the scientists - are guessing.

Don't forget Dodds has them at up to 3 PSI under and said Brady claimed he couldn't tell the difference.

Talk about your lynch mob mentality narratives...

dodds?

his only concern is pandering to the fans of 31 other teams to re-up subscriptions

Now....the real question if true. Which team leader will take responsibility publicly?

a) BB?

b) TB?

c) Kraft?

d) None of the above, make this guy a fall guy

If the answer is D then all Pats fans shall hang their head in shame for eternity. But, then again, maybe all this isnt true to begin with...

 
The NFL really needs to get a grip on their leaks. I find it unacceptable how much gets outside of their office and takes away from the actual game.

That said... :popcorn:

Wow..Glazer really giving the world gems.

Ah...I thought ALL Pats employees, players, etc. are subjects of interest.

A little more specific here at least:

FOX's Jay Glazer reports the NFL has identified a Patriots locker room attendant as a "strong person of interest" in the ball-deflation scandal.

This of course just could mean that they located the guy who would know something, not that he actually does know something.

Breaking news: sources tell @FOXSports the NFL has zeroed in on a locker room attendant w Patriots who allegedly took balls from officials locker room to another area on way to field. Sources say they have interviewed him and additionally have video. Still gauging if any wrong doing occurred with him but he is strong person of interest
 
:lmao:

Took the NFL 8 days to identify one employee who MIGHT have moved some balls to another area on way to field.

Sources say they have interviewed him and additionally have video.

Agreed - you'd think this would have come out earlier. Fall guy?

How do they have video and are still gauging if any wrongdoing occurred? I guess he went into a room with no video?

Well if you are a Pats hater, this is strong proof that the incriminating events occurred.

If you aren't, this obviously isn't very meaningful.

As with everything else, secret sources who provide half-truths make it difficult to really know what to believe.

Where did he take the balls? how long was he there? Was it a weird place to take balls, off what would be the normal route? What is in the room where he took the balls? What did he say? What's his reputation? How long has he been an employee?

I hate tweets like these because they serve as fodder for more endless arguing, while not really providing a lot of good info.

 
I do get a kick on how the pendulum keeps swinging back and forth - just when all that Pat backers think they are winning the "salty haters" get a new round of ammo.

I do agree with biju - at this point I just wish we could wait until after the game has been played - this week the focus should be on game plans, matchup analysis, and even "human interest" type stuff.

 
I'm sure they will just interview the guy, he'll deny it and the story will go away. :lmao: I still think BB wouldn't put his neck on the line IF he knew it was done intentionally. They better hope the guy doesn't fold under cross examination.

 
Oop and there it is the scapegoat has been singled out and the buzzards circle. What kind of delusional world does Goodell and the NFL office think we live in now? The 1950's where people didn't have instant access to information and things could be dealt with over time. I would rather them tell me the cold weather did this then one lockerroom attendant went rogue. This whole thing is stupid in the first place but don't insult my intelligence twice as hard.

 
And by the way, Sources again? Another leak? How about we start asking if the league is trying to materially affect the outcome of the Superbowl?

 
The league is obviously firing back at BB by leaking this. It's pretty sad that they are operating this way and it is obvious that they are out for blood. I still think releasing these leaks is complete bs and shows the mentality of those behind the scenes in the NFL. The only angle I see is that the NFL wants this to be a circus and love the publicity.

 
The battle of the leakers, I'm sure the Pats were pissed off at the original leaks to Mort and others. They waited a few days, had Belichick give his Saturday afternoon presser and then started leaking the whole inquiry was because Kensil has a massive hard on for Belichick. And now the NFL offices are leaking again...on

and on it goes while Goodell continues to hide.

Just heard from a reliable source/leak that The Hawks gameplan is to go after Brady's balls. The sourcs/leak said Pete even called Spags to inquire on the best,most efficient way to do this. "Emasculate him" Spags said according to the source/leak. He was contacted by The Colts before the AFC Championship game but according to the source/leak The Colts misinterpreted what he meant by "go after his balls".

 
There is surveillance video showing the attendant taking the footballs from the official's locker room into another room at Gillette Stadium before bringing them out to the field, sources tell FOX Sports.

How high would it blow this story if the Ravens (or any other team) had similar video?

 
THe NFL just not stepping up and reporting what they have or don't have is unbelievable, talk about a giant joke, lol. They have some real fools advising over there.
