Kravitz, Breer and Volin Try to Start Something on McNally and Get Powned

Danger Zone · Sep 17, 2015

Based off some of my exclusive resources at Patsfans.com (headline ticker) I came across this very interesting article and video of an interview with Jim Daupolos the ex-NFL supervisor of officials (and Baltz' boss) where he defends McNally and openly questions Baltz' agenda.

http://www.csnne.com/new-england-patriots/jim-daopoulos-defends-mcnally-questions-mark-baltz-agenda

Also from the comments:

Sans Bushman said:
1. Baltz is from Indianapolis. His son work in marketing for Colts.
2. Baltz lied about the number of games he had dealt with McNelly since he became locker room attentant. It was four games - 2007, 2008, 2010, and 2011. McNelly was not there until 2008. And Brady was out the entire 2008.

3. Baltz was a line judge. It was not his responsility to give out balls to the ballboys. Ref do that.
4. McNelly is very obese man, weight at over 270b. Wearing a winter coat, he could run or take off with the balls. A bit of storytelling without the facts here.
5. If Baltz filed a report on McNelly "6-8 years ago", then it had to be 2008 when Brady was out for that year. It was also the FIRST TIME Baltz had met McNelly. And going over the head of the regular refs, Baltz filed a complaint on McNelly.

That looks very much like Baltz had a agenda.

I read somewhere he is a Vikings fan.

I read IN THIS THREAD where a poster looked up the sons own Twitter post: Cowpukes, Dolts.

Try to reign in the unsubstantiated guesses and bad recollections in a thread about unsubstantiated lies and easily disproven recollections being treated as mediot facts. Thx

BTW- I just was over at NFL.com com to find out the score of the Denver game and I found it very interesting that there seems to be NO mention of the Baltz story. At least none that I could find. Even more interesting I couldn't find any sign of the Baltz story on BSPNboston, on the main page, or NFL pages.

Anyone who still watches sports center, has there been any run on that story today? I guess Baltz's story is just SO unbelievable that even ESPN and the NFL network refuses to carry it. I wonder if this will have any significance going forward.

We'll see if the Van Ata story comes out or not.

Aah, if you read again, that post refers to Florio, who is a Vikings fan.

Something stuck me. Baltz said McNally tried to get game balls early. Yet did not the Wells report state that he should never get balls and some reff was almost hysterical at the game because the balls were gone and hadn't seen in in 20 years or some nonsense? There is a real disconnected between what Wells said happens, only reff have balls vs Baltz who said McNally took early but made no stink they were taken by a non reff. This Baltz guy, the pathological liar and Colts family man he is, just shed a light on another Wells lie.

And on a often repeated side note:
Why again would he tell his girlfriend that the balls were "supposed to be 13" when it wouldn't MATTER what psi the refs set them at if there was a scheme in place to deflate them after the fact.

As we've spoken of in the past, to me this is the biggest "smoking gun" out there--but it was ignored since it did not fit the agenda which furthered the suggestion of Patriots guilt.

A guy was privately communicating with his loved one about the fact that "Tom was right," and the balls in the NYJ game were "like watermelons." He then goes on to remind her that "they are supposed to be at 13."

This is a person who NEVER expected anyone to see these comments, so it's practically like reading a diary or journal of private thoughts. The evidence is right there.

Sports have just become......sad. That is the only word I can think of. This is what we have become? Other countries must read this and laugh and say it will be easy to take over the USA someday. It seems to be full of crybaby ****ies

You hit the nail on the head.

It used to be the idea of "we'll beat them on the field next time," now it's "we'll beat them in the media."

Pathetic.

Kravitz broke the real story here: time travel will be invented and McNally will use it to go back in time, sneak into the Patriots' locker room, and deflate balls used in a preseason game back in 1993.

My NE friends only checked Pro Football Reference back to 99. Baltz started in 89. I did all the legwork. It's 10. Might be more w/preseason

Bob Kravitz ‏@bkravitz 2m2 minutes ago
Note to New England: Baltz officiated four reg season games in Foxboro from 1989 to 98, then six more from 99 until retirement. That's 10.

Bob Kravitz ‏@bkravitz 2m2 minutes ago
For the record, I did not check how many times he officiated preseason games in Foxboro. So what he said "10 to 15'' was accurate. Period.

Ryan Hannable ‏@RyanHannable 3m3 minutes ago
Except he still only worked 4 games when McNally was locker room attendant. He started that job in 2008!!!!!!

In making a knowingly false claim imputing misconduct in McNally's occupation, Baltz has broken Indiana state law.

So the only verifiable fact in all of this--the number of games that he officiated in Foxboro--is a clear and unambiguous lie. This guy lied about the one thing that's provable, which means he probably lied about everything else to.

At the very least it means you can't take it at face value.

"Every week," you say.......

We haven't even started week two yet.

Absurd. I really wanted to dislike your post, but it wasn't your fault.

Or he just didn't do it, and that's why he says he didn't do it.

Kravitz is terrible.

@bkravitz @pcusick13 this reads as McNally asked for the balls the "1st few times" Baltz worked in NE which is false

Some of the replies are hilarious. Like the Brady-Montana matchup in 89.

Curran schooling him on twitter now too.

Story was Baltz' perception of McNally. How many times he saw him is germane. Nothing else.

Emailed. You danced out in front of the masses with this absolutely irrelevant info from 89-99. Stop fingerwagging

I almost feel bad for Kravitz. Almost. What an embarrassment. I guess Bledsoe, Parcells and Pete Carroll need to be worried about Ted Wells getting them suspended now.

To me, this has always been the biggest thing. he even said

"I checked some of the balls this morn... The refs ****ed us...a few
of then were at almost 16"

If mcnally was supposed to deflate, shouldn't he be saying mcnally is the one who screwed up?

also, i think the fact that Goodell was very confused about where the jets game was, proves they didn't pay enough attention to this sequence to realize it proves there was no "scheme"

COMMISSIONER GOODELL: Just so I'm clear, this is a Jets game in New York?
THE WITNESS: No.
COMMISSIONER GOODELL: It's not? It was in New England?
THE WITNESS: Yeah.

No one drops loaded Tweets and columns and then cries foul when it gets thrown back at him like @bkravitz. Act like a man.
