Well technically also the dolts equipment guy who illegally gauged a ball during the game.

Does ANYONE know whatever happened to this guy (Director of NFL Auctions) and why the story was completely erased like an out of favor Soviet from the May Day lineup photo?

To me, this is THE most intriguing part of the entire Deflategate.

The only guilty party that was screwing around with the footballs that night was......the NFL.

As far as Scott Miller of NFL Auctions stealing kicking balls in the middle of the game to sell for his own gain, we get five pages of narrative about what happened to Stephen Gostkowski‘s kickoff ball ending with this: “Miller’s involvement in the chain of custody of this football counsels against making any conclusive adverse findings.” Not, “We had an NFL employee stealing balls that were meant to go to charity right under everyone’s noses until the Patriots kicker busted him.” Just “chain of custody” talk."

WHAT??????

So the one PROVEN perpetrator that night (The NFL - via Scott Miller) gets off completely with a "counsels against making any conclusive adverse findings" while the Patriots lose 1st and 4th round picks and a million dollars for being the employers of someone who "more probably than not was at least generally aware" of something that is not proven to have happened??????????????????????????

......and the Wells Report completely exhonerated and left the NFL unpunished (unlike the Patriots) for the PROVEN (unlike the Patriots employees) crime of it employee. Direct from the Wells Report : "“Miller’s involvement in the chain of custody of this football counsels against making any conclusive adverse findings.”

Someone help me here.

I definitely remember it coming out that week in February that THIS was not even the FIRST transgression of the NFL's Scott Miller stealing equipment for personal gain.

In fact the league had known of previous instances of him doing it and that he was merely warned.

I cannot find confirmation now via the internet, but I distinctly remember it being outed at the time.
