Feeling helpless as a pats fan that all this will never be answered.
Wow really?When Goodell’s press conference ended, I spoke to league attorney Jeff Pash, who worked with Wells on the investigation.
After telling me he was amused that I described him as Goodell’s “lead nut-twister,” Pash agreed that Mortensen’s 11 of 12 report was “a flashpoint” but, Pash added, “All the information did get out, including the correct numbers.”
“Four months later,” I countered.
“There were a lot of things that were out there that weren’t accurate,” said Pash.

If possible, please try to get past all the junk, jokes and ridiculousness here. The most pressing and chilling part for everyone in football remains why did ESPN, a day after the AFC title game, run a story citing "a league source" that said 11 of the 12 Patriots footballs were measured to be more than 2 pounds per square inch below the allowable limit? That story, which suggested significant and organized cheating, turned curiosity into hysteria. It was extremely prejudicial to the Patriots and Brady. It was also completely wrong. Not a single football measured that low and most weren't remotely close to that number. The Patriots couldn't refute it because the NFL told them one ball measured as low as 10.1. That too was false.
So it's fair to ask, did the NFL purposefully leak a damning and dishonest story to ESPN because it wanted to get the Patriots? And even if it didn't, why didn't the league office, which was well aware of the actual measurements and supposedly an unbiased party, fail to step up and publicly correct a bogus and damning story? Did it trump up evidence to discourage the Patriots from arguing their innocence? And why did Goodell decide to build off a false narrative and hire Wells to conduct such a massive investigation?
