It's easy, and only takes a few moments.As bledsoe said, pats coaches players and advisors are very smart people . They would never advise anyone to lie if they think there is something wrong and they can be caught.I doubt Brady would take that risk.
We are told there is video.
And Howe is saying there is a bathroom between officials room and field.
So, the inference is that the locker room attendant, took the balls and went into the bathroom with them, all captured on film??
Got it.
To think we used to measure minute differences by the c/h factor.Sports Science said it gave 1 EXTRA MILLIMETRE in grip. And the difference in weight between a 10.5 PSI football and 12.5 was that of a DOLLAR BILL.
How is that NOT an advantage!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

But they don't need him on film, they just need to be able to claim that there was enough time for him to theoretically do it. Even though it will be ludicrous I'm sure. He disappeared for 3 minutes so he must have done it.We are told there is video.

No. There are no cameras in the bathroom and the League and will use that fact against against the Patriots. Say he goes into the men's room and doesn't emerge for two minutes, the media will questioning what he possibly could do in a men's room for two minutes and who spends a full two minutes in the bathroom? You will see how they spin this into the most sinister bathroom break in world history.
I'd maintain that BB doesn't do two press conferences on this topic if there was a bomb to be dropped.
Really ****ty. Only thing I want to see is Patriots defend whoever this poor schlump is. Just to ruin the #ROGUEBALLBOY scapegoat narrative that Volin moved his bowels so hard to work out.and felger amd mazz tweeted out picture of a ball boy without any knowledge and confirmation. Poor guy is going to get hammered. So irresponsible.
You can't let the air out of 12 footballs in 2 minutes.
Hence the reason I'm hoping against a #2.
If they have hallway video of the ballboy taking the bag of balls into and out of the john ....
......and as long as he didn't take a 10 minute dump, the hallway video will be complete vindication for the Patriots and will put this all to bed.
You think NFL will care for that logic? They will do anything to save their ego. Plus if there is no documentation of the PSI then they can surely make it up all being exactly 2PSI.You can't let the air out of 12 footballs in 2 minutes.

I think the fact no one was really explaining how the pre-game logistics with the balls worked for so long is what left the door open to tampering. Once it became clear the Patriots don't get the balls back till right before gametime, you had to believe that it was basically happening on the sideline for there to be enough time. Which someone as mentally vacant as Ben Volin was actually suggesting could be probable. Unless this kid disappeared in a closet for like 30 minutes, this is a ridiculous reach.You will have Mark Brunell and Jerome Bettis on NFL Live demonstrating how they can do 30 balls in two minutes. I guarantee you that if the video just shows him going into a room and reappearing a few minutes later, all the news outlets will be doing simulations to show that it is possible to deflate all 11 balls in that much time.
