I wrote this post in another thread, but all of sudden I wondered if it was worthy of its own thread for a thorough discussion. It should be noted that to this point in time, I never heard that Kensiil actually "re-inflated" the "deflated" balls at half time.
"On the read earlier today and caught Ben Volin on the radio. Volin has now fallen into the crowd that knows that the NFL is unlikely to prove anything against the Pats, but that doesn't mean they didn't do something. On the plus side, he thinks the whole affair was overblown and unnecessary from the start,. He also stated that while it was interesting in the beginning, he is now tired of it, and the Welles report can't come soon enough, so it will all finally stop
BTW- none of that shocks or surprises me. He's a pretentious little turd to start with. However then he mentioned something that at first made sense, but the more I thought about it, it could be the smoking gun that blows this out of the water. When the talk turned to the Kensil conspiracy theory, Volin expressed skepticism because he questioned why would he have re-inflated the balls at half time, thus destroying the evidence that the Pats had done anything wrong.
Then it struck me (for I am getting a little slower every year), that by re-inflating the balls at the half, what Kensil was ACTUALLY doing was destroying the proof of the Pats INNOCENCE. If it was true that the balls were only marginally deflated, if at all, Kensil's sting and his biased agenda becomes exposed. By just saying he re-inflated then, he not only destroys the only way the Pats could have conclusively proved their innocence, he is free to imply that the ball needed to be inflated and the Pats had done something.....and there is no way for the Pats conclusively prove otherwise, as the evidence has been essentially destroyed
Kensil doesn't need to have the Pats found guilty to win. He just needs the possibility of wrong doing to taint the Pats irreparably. and by destroying the evidence he succeeded. Also Volin's take might have had more legitimacy if all those continually negative phrased leaks hadn't been coming from the league office, even after Goodell demanded they stop.
So someone needs to get Welles to ask, why did Kensil re-inflate the balls, which not only makes finding the Pats guilty impossible, but finding them innocent as well. He also needs to find the sources of all those damaging but erroneous leaks, That's very, very fishy behavior from the guy who is supposed to be in charge of league operations."
