Lets not treat some guy calling himself and insider as the shining source of truthNo the fact that the refs stuck to the ball boy like glue at halftime means that the refs suspected the balls were deflated in the first half.

Irrelevant to me, they measured them at halftime so they wanted to make sure nothing happened in the second half. What happened, we don't know yet. We may or may not find out. But we know we played better after the ball inflation.No the fact that the refs stuck to the ball boy like glue at halftime means that the refs suspected the balls were deflated in the first half.
Ok, so they were tested 2 hours and 15 minutes before the game. Then, presumably, they were outside during warmups and for the first half of the game. That would mean they were in the "elements" for about 4 hours? Is that enough time to lose compression? And if they were tested at halftime, I assume it takes time for them to warm back up when inside?
Nothing will happen to Belichick except maybe a fine and outside chance of draft pick loss.Don't see how they are going to prove anything though.Oh good, mediots are calling for BB to be fired, Suspended from the superbowl, and blackballed from the NFL Pete rose style for life.
What's a "skip"? Is that a Whitey Bulger reference?No chance unfortunately. Even if Andrew Luck himself confessed that the ball deflation thing was an elaborate conspiracy concocted by the Colts, who murdered the original ballboys, dumped their bodies in a skip, and replaced them with ringers who subsequently deflated the ball, even then people would still want BB sacked, Pats stripped of all our draft picks and Robert Kraft dipped in a river to see if he floats.
Once hysteria takes off, facts are utterly unimportant.
I don't understand why the NFL is leaking the entire investigation to idiots like Mortensen.
We have an investigation and state you will discuss your findings when it is done, if you are going to open it up to leaked information and rumor mongering?
Sadly you may be right. Goodell wants Twitter to make his decision so he gives the one that is least likely to be criticized.Trial balloons to guage the public's response.

What could have resulted in the under inflation in the first half? (There are 2.5 hours before kick off, giving ample time for tampering)
Yeah, I'm thinking the conversation went like this.So let me see if I've got this right . . .
The balls were supposedly properly inflated when the refs measured them before the game, but they were somehow deflated before halftime.
Simultaneously, the same referees who measured the balls before the game did not notice that the balls had become underinflated, but the Colts did?
