Huggy, the video tape of the ball guy going in to a room ALSO SHOWED the same boy coming out of the room 90 seconds later...the tape didn't just stop? (later to be reported it was the bathroom, and the guy took a leak)For me, the bigger story is in 90 seconds, he obviously didn't wash his hands and everyone handled the goods.
Where did this "90 seconds" come from? Who timed it? I think that was just something someone said that nobody has any evidence to prove it. Now it is a fact of argument that's being passed around.
The balls were deflated. That seems to be an accepted fact. Otherwise the NFL would have said the balls were NOT under inflated and the controversy would be mute.
Arguing about if the balls could have been inflated in a bathroom in 90 seconds is silly. Whatever time it took and where ever it took place it was obviously enough time to deflate 11 balls.
FOX Sports just CHOSE to NOT tell you that part and HEADLINED that they had the SMOKING GUN, the Fall Guy, and being that you are not a Pats fan, you bit the FOX sensationalism and false claims, hook, line and sinker...
===============================
I do have some questions...like, why does the nfl allow legal balls to be a 2.0 PSI difference....why have the 'range' of where ball PSI's can be? Why not just 1 specific PSI for the football's inflation so both sides HAVE TO begin with the same PSI inflated balls?
OR is the rule that you should always turn in your balls at the highest PSI level so that when their pressure does change due to weather or spiking it or what ever, it's PSI can go down as much as 2.0 and still be in the legal range?
AND were the colts footballs measured and was their PSI's different from when they turned them in?
