Patriots Locker Room Attendant Likely Not Happy to Be "Zeroed In On" After Footage Reveals He Went to the Bathroom

Patriots head coach Bill Belichick strongly denied the allegations against his team on Saturday, and it appears that this latest report may further reinforce the innocence of his football team.

The story surrounding "Deflate-Gate" just got a little more interesting Monday night.

FoxSports' Jay Glazer had a source on Monday afternoon that told him a Patriots locker room attendant went somewhere else with the footballs in question, adding further fuel to the fire in the league's investigation that has sparked an unbelievable reaction and exploded into a media story that has gotten out of hand.

Per Glazer's Tweet, the league seemed to have "a person of interest", with evidence that may have potentially offered some credence in this whole investigation against New England, who have been battling these allegations since winning the AFC Championship last Sunday after defeating the Colts 45-7 at Gillette Stadium.

Tweeted Glazer, "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."

And that's where the story takes quite the turn.

Late Monday night ProFootballTalk.com revealed exactly where the attendant went, and it appears he went exactly where many people kidded he might have gone on his way out to the field.

He went to the bathroom.

According to the website, surveillance footage shows he was in there for 90 seconds, which isn't anywhere near the amount of time required to change the air pressure in a bag of footballs, check them, and put them all back in.

As a matter of fact, it's barely enough time to do his business and get out of there.  Which now leads to the next investigation the league should look into.

Did he wash his hands before he gave the balls to the officials?

Either way on Monday night, Kraft told the media that if the Patriots are cleared of any wrongdoing in this investigation he expects the league to apologize for putting his organization's integrity and credibility into question.

Needless to say, it looks like if the ProFootballTalk.com report is true, he may potentially get his wish.
