Second, according to the same source, the person carried two bags of balls into the bathroom: the 12 balls to be used by the Patriots and the 12 balls to be used by the Colts.
Third, from the same source, the evidence comes from a surveillance video that was discovered by the Patriots and given to the NFL early in the investigation.
Fourth, again from the same source, the video shows the employee in the bathroom for approximately 90 seconds.
Could the employee have fished 12 balls out of a fairly large bag, deflated each of them by two pounds, put them back into the bag, and exited the bathroom in roughly 90 seconds? That question will surely become the centerpiece of the next red state/blue state debate between folks who have determined that the Patriots have done something wrong and those who are staunchly defending the franchise.
It was #LeakGate from the beginning and it feels right that it is #LeakGate now.URINE-GATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not sure why so much time and energy is being spent debunking the veracity of one of the very, very few sources of information that have been defending the Patriots from the very beginning.
Arguing over the worthiness of a friend and ally seems misplaced when there are 1000's of other exaggerations and lies being told about us by our enemies on a daily basis.
And then there is the other group that understands that this is about more than PSI and that a major battle is being fought.There shouldn't be any arguing about anything, ever--but it's okay to bring up the fact that they completely changed their story.
There are clearly going to be 2 different groups here:
1) those who really actually want to know the truth, and whether or not we should get excited for a possible exoneration. Some of us who have been around for the past 2 major sagas like Spygate + Hernandez are likely going to be a bit more apprehensive with what we believe. Weird sources who no one's ever heard of prior to a few days ago are going to be taken with a grain of salt
2) those here who wish to talk about the "gifts," "lawsuits," and "apologies" that we'll surely be getting from all of the rest of the teams and fanbases around the country, not to mention the fact that most of the head officials in the NFL will surely lose their jobs
The truth lies somewhere in the middle, I would assume.
I had a post typed out (Deus actually quoted most of it below if you want to read it). From what I've seen SoV have been right, you disagree and that's fine. I propose we just drop it and focus on the upcoming game instead.

Neil is the man, I'll let it slide this once that he sided against the pats.
At this point, the investigation should end tomorrow. Just have the piss boy take a lie detector test.
This is not a joke. I really think someone should tell him. Test his numbers experimentally.
Kraft and BB taking a stand instead of bending over is why we are celebrating. Knowing how much attention to detail BB pays, I am almost certain that he has been building a case against the NFL since 07. The gloves are off on both sides and there is little chance of a compromise at this point. I have confidence that our guys will win, but whichever sides loses will face some pretty serious repercussions. I think this is the beginning of the end for Goodell.I agree that there are likely people with agendas who are behind this whole thing, but I'm not sure that will really matter in the end. We'll have to see.
As of now, nothing has really changed that much from a week ago that leads me to believe that we should all be celebrating.
That would certainly be nice to see--an honest attempt at putting the nonsense to rest, finding the truth of the story with the only real avenue of proof available, and getting back to the main event.

I agree with your sentiment and know that you simply only want to use the purest and most verifiable truth in our defense, but in my opinion, thats acting too much like Ned Stark did when he refused the help of Varys because he didn't think the man was as honorable as he was.
When I'm getting my head chopped off, I don't care that the people coming out in support of me are 100% verifiable or not, I just want to keep my head and punish the people responsible for trying to take it.
