Mortenson on AZ radio: "I was right, the Krafts apologized and BB is the reason for "deflategate"

adam941 said:

He's still trying to whitewash the 2 lb under by pointing out that he later edited it to read significantly under inflated. He also tries to minimize the whole psi part of it (and the lying to him aspect) by reminding everyone that he called his source (why would someone lie to me if I called him??) and he was only interested in the number of balls affected. It really just sounds like spin after the fact trying to recover his reputation.

He also tries to convince everyone that he didn't implicate Brady, the media didn't implicate Brady, but it was BB (I guess by saying go ask Tom?). More spin and more deflection.

And what exactly has happened to his speaking skills - did they just go right out the window? Geez, he's been hard to follow the last couple of times I've heard him in interviews.

It's called lying

Best part of this story is that it irreversibly and incontrovertibly outed the biggest idiots in sports media.

Listening and typing...

• Still feels 32
• Looking forward to regular season.
• Jordy Nelson injury
• Biggest story is still Deflategate and Brady
• Mort: has a belief that the NFL made a mess for himself regardless what happened with the footballs
• Could have been resolved. Competition comittee
• Its about CBA and the commisshs authority. No longer about the facts.
• Berman is having a good time poking the bear
• cant give 100% certainty but b/c the Pats went thru Spygate, owners and execs criticized evidence. Brought up Brady's phone. Why they brought in outside team
• 11-12 balls uninflated. Did Anderson follow protocols...Mort says people say he did.
• "All I know is that that they were better in the 2nd 1/2 when the balls were regulated"
• 11-12?....Mort says people need to go to the timeline. I'm going to AZ when Kravitz broke the news
• Mort says he inquired about 3-4. How many are we talking about was the inquiry. Told 11-12
• Mort claims he made the inquiry and is insulted that people accuse him of being the recipient of the leak. Is baloney
• Pick up phone. has little dialogue with source #1. Source #2 said 11-12 were 2psi under and significantly underinflated and was told its a mess.
• Thats how I got in trouble tweeting 2psi under. League clarifies significantly
  
• It was 11-12. Princeton hired to disprove Wells agreed on which gauge was used.
• League didn't get it right either
• I will add this....I never implicated Tom Brady and never suggested that they were tampered with
• BB implicated TB.
• Bottom line...2psi under...If i could have changed tweet to 11 uninflated...I stand by that. I understand the fanacical nation of New England
• Both Krafts apologized to me on way it went down.
• Did you know how big this story was? Mort: I knew. There are teams are that do things
• Under gamemanship and integrity of game.
• To this magnitude? No...not to this
• Ego battle?...yea but there are lawyers in the middle.
• Legacy for Brady...authority for Goody
• Judge: is NFL being fair
• Radio guy is an idiot...'Its easier to catch a ball when its softer"
• Bettis: Softer ball better for ball control
• Since 2007 Pats bets ball control...there is no evidence.
• Mort: Just fix the problem.
• Brings up BJGE...0 fumbles w/ pats. now out of a job.

Angry,.

The lies you tell to cover up the first lie you made are the ones that bite you in the butt.

If you were wrong, fess up. How is that HARD? What's with the need to cover it up with piles of crap that are higher and deeper? Let go the ego, Mort.

I will say this… I wish Bill and Tom had just said nothing about the whole thing, just laughed and said talk to the league. Just made it seem like a joke. Which is what it is.

Such an nfl schill. Berman is the bear and ****dell and the nfl lawyers are the ones poking him after they ran into his cave to seek help from him.

Problem was this story picked up steam, which they weren't saying anything and then they were sent a bold face lie about a ball registering 10.1

Hes just trying to max out his pension and not get kicked to the curb.

That interview at the end pissed me off. Bringing up BJGE...WTF. "There is no evidence"...F U Mort and those two AZ ****kicking hicks.

These radio guys....D&C and Minny would have shredded him. Never mind Dale and Holley and JT

WTF did Bob and JK apologize for? When? Timeline? I can see Bend-Over doing it but Jonathan?

"and so I said..."Hey, talk to the guys upstairs...I just work here..."..."

Thanks for the summary. Could you elaborate on this one...

• It was 11-12. Princeton hired to disprove Wells agreed on which gauge was used.
• League didn't get it right either

Did he say that Princeton was hired to disprove the Wells report but ultimately agreed it was the non-logo gauge? And what does the second bullet mean? Thanks.

Both Robert and Jonathan Kraft have called and apologized to me for 'just the way this thing has gone down'.

Maybe Mort interprets GFY as an apology.........
Maybe Bob but I just don't see both of them doing it..........no way in Hell... Why would they apologize...
Mort owes them an apology...

The league put 10.1 psi in the letter when none of the balls were that low. He attributed it to a mistake and no malfeasance on the part of the league.

"It was 11-12 footballs. The Princeton professor was hired to disprove Wells Report agreed on which gague was used. 5 balls at 10 5 at low 11 and we know league didnt get it right in letter sent to Pats at 10.1"

I'm still shaking my head.

Princeton guy checked the math on ideal gas which was spot on for just temp drop to 11.32. Not on the warm up of the Colts balls or failure to account for rain or which gauge was used.

Multiple articles that disprove the whole ball control theory. One of them being that if you are a RB and fumble you get benched. Also I believe the idiots that spout this base it off of fumbles lost and not total fumbles. Then there is the fact that there are a few teams that have actually been better.

ALSO YOU DUMB **** mortenson THERE IS A THING CALLED COACHING. No it can't be that the Pats are just one of the better coached teams at ball security.

Here is a snippet for one of those articles

The Vikings had TWO total fumbles in road games this year. That's ONE-THIRD of the Patriots total at home.

So ARE the Vikings even WORSE cheaters?


BJGE had 900 rushes and didn't fumble once in college at Indiana or Ole Miss, does that mean they do something with the balls too? BJGE is out of the league because he hit that RB wall and was a $3m cap hit last year for the Bengals.

People show their bias and hate when they mention BJGE. Because they use him not fumbling as proof but ignore that Ridley had a fumbling problem.

Sue him and claim he made it up. His defense is he was told by someone who he will not tell you who it was. It was wrong and the people he claims told to him had access to the right info.

There wasn't a pause, but there was a significant slow down like he was trying to figure out how to word it when he brought up that both Krafts called him to apologize.
