(Post Edit): Breaking: NFL Ref's Press Conference Just Blew Deflategate To Pieces!!!!!!

A few minutes ago from the NFL officials' press conference:

Jeff Howe @jeffphowe
On ineligible receivers,
Vinovich: "I made announcement: Do not cover 34."
Blandino: "Which we won't do (in SB)."
Vinovich: "We won't?"

......which of course lends all the credibility in the world to the next statement:

Ben Volin ✔ @BenVolin
Blandino says that the NFL believes that the footballs were properly inflated and tested by Walt Anderson


.

OK, I'm beginning to think it is ALL the refs' fault:

Mark Daniels @MarkDanielsPJ
Blandino said Pete Carroll might be mistaken and the officials with handle ineligible players like they did in the AFC championship

Dean Blandino couldn't manage a diner. That dude is so caught up in himself...

The laughs keep coming!


Jeff Howe @jeffphowe
Blandino said Pete Carroll misunderstood the message about a new ineligible received signal. It was used in the AFCCG.

I'm not there, but it sounds like a pretty solid press conference!

For clarification, the officials stated the Patriots will be allowed to continue cheating.

Sounds like everyone is on the same page to me (sarcasm)
I can see there being some sort of blown call in the Super Bowl, just hope its not against us

believes is weasel word used by the lawyers to still allow uncertainty.

The ref idiocy notwithstanding it's not like it will matter, the Seahawks had 2 weeks to prepare for that personnel grouping they won't be surprised by it.

Which is why I'll lmbo if we run or throw out of it w/ Vereen.

NFL is the gift that keeps on giving.

Does this face (A) inspire trust and confidence in the NFL, or (B) remind you of Mickey Mouse?

Aha! This is something interesting........

Jeff Howe @jeffphowe
Blandino said the referee does not log the PSI during the pregame ball check. They're either approved or disapproved.

Take away the suit and he kinda looks like that guy that feels up your sister then tries to brag to you about it.

LOL ... worked in a pizza place with a kid that looked like him.

annoying kid ... one night we had it with him so we threw him in a 1/2 full dumpster and closed the lid.

......and here is the only summary I can imagine of this press conference:

Jeff Howe @jeffphowe
What a disaster that was for the NFL.

Blandino could **** up a cup of coffee.

Its gotten so much worse since Goodell took over.

I wish I could have seen this presser.

Really an Abbott and Costella skit.

The NFL has more egg on its face.

Felger and Mazz are spitting in their mic's right now ....
Mazz is trying to do an end around what they just said.
Twice in the last 10 minutes they have gotten a slap upside the head.
