The Published Wells Report.

This. I've said it plenty of times. Pay the salaries of the players, and then tell the NFL to bleep off. This is so stupid..now Felger is comparing some elements to Hernandez case. Sickening.

This was always such a stupid issue from the get go. Ball inflation rules, all of it. I hope everyone on the Colts gets loaded on a rocket ship and shot into the sun. Followed by the Jets. And then the NFL front office.

According to Wells report:
"
the Ideal Gas
Law predicts that the Patriots balls should have measured between
11.52
and
11.32
psi at the
end
of the first half, just before they were brought back into the Officials Locker Room."

If you take Prioleau's numbers alone, only 3/10 are below their own stated expectation in drop. Their scientific investigation seemed only to concentrate on temperature and very little (if at all) on effects of cold rain on PSI.

Why only use the higher number? That's the justification why Colts balls were in spec, that their footballs were at least 12.5 on one of the gauges.

Bingo.

The one thing that SHOULD be clear to anyone reading that (but I'm sure it won't to those who already have their minds made up against the Patriots) is that McNally was NOT working in conjunction with Brady - - in fact., it is clear that they had a very adversarial relationship.

this part does make mcnally seem suspicious:


and then



and then



first, he removes the balls without authorization, then he lies about stopping in the bathroom on the way to the field.

I do have to say I called this one all wrong. I figured there would have been more look at the League and would not say anyone on the Pats did it without evidence. It was clear that Wells' marching order was to prove the Pats did it and ignore the rest.

Trying to remember -- who keeps the bags of balls and gives them to/receives them from the officials during the game? Does each team have their own person or does the home team provide both people?

Beginning of what? Discipline for TB12?

You can't discipline a player that "probably" did something.

Even a Cro-Magnon like Goodell wouldn't do that.

I thought the whole point of an independent report is suppose to be to reach a conclusion based on the evidence, not draft an argument on behalf of the league for the court of public opinion.
