And I suppose @Bobsyouruncle .

This whole scenario is just bizarre. I've never seen a ball boy or an official do that. So strange. I hope this catches on and the Colts get punished, they deserve some of their own medicine.

Looks very much like Colts Assistant Equipment Manager Mike Mays.

You guys are driving me crazy with this stuff.

You fret about the noise gate, suck for luck gate, whining to the NFL about footballs gate and now a ball boy who obviously was doing his job of protecting a very expensive football that he may have put an enormous amount of effort preparing it for the game.

Let's get back to reality and concern ourselves with what really matters in this league. +/- 0.2 psi. That is the crime of all crimes.

The logic you have to understand is that if you cheat and lose it doesn't matter because ...well..you suck and if you are more probably than not generally aware of an incident that may or may not have happened which could have caused an additional 0.2 psi of deflation in a football and you win too much ...well..then you are a bunch of cheaters...

I hope I have helped clear up this ball incident up and put it into its proper perspective.

I'm no fashion plate myself. I just calls 'em like I sees 'em. No offense. I agree with him 99% of the time.

To my understanding.

Colts measure the intercepted football. They come up with 11 psi.

They report this number to the officials. Investigation ensues.

Officials do their own measuring and come up with, 11.45, 11.35, and 11.7


Even with differences in gauges.. 11 psi feels very much like a big fat lie to me.

Maxim: Cheaters are always the first to suspect everyone else of cheating.

The whole D-F#%$-Gate was a damn setup. Kensil and the keystone cops wanted to really jam Bob Kraft.

Then again, it's not that hard to screw over Kraft.

It's all a huge unfortunate scandal.

Exponent/Wells = Big industry Hired Guns

"Independent" Wells report for the NFL was Edited by the NFL

After millions of Dollars for an investigation the best they could come up with was Generally aware.

0.2 psi???

Roger Lies about Brady''s testimony for additional PR attacks.

On and on and on...

It was all BS. Nothing happened.

I just watched the entire thing in hi-def and there's a 2nd guy who comes rushing into the frame as well but he slows down once he notices the other guy seems to have things under control.

I'd say take away their first round pick but why bother they will just use it to trade for trent Richardson again

Jeeze, let's not get carried away here. There was just as much evidence against the Pats as there is in this case.

I thought that was the whole point. If so little evidence such as this generated 7 months of a **** storm for the Pats, then why shouldn't it do the same thing for everyone else? Hey, if the league admits they made a huge deal out of nothing, I'd be perfectly happy to ignore most of these fun little things that happen.
