The NFL will never release ball measurements that would exonerate NE. The procedure they've come up with, while on the surface seeming very involved and precise, is actually really loosey-goosey in all the ways that matter. So the NFL will easily be able to fudge the measurements such that NE will never be exonerated. Hell, I expect them to use the measurements to retroactively frame NE some more -- "see, these measurements prove they really did cheat".
Agree for the most part. Not sure Goodell would resort to fudging.. They could just lie. This guy practically defines the word hubris. There are a lot of bad people in the world. This idea that some of them would see their mistake and change their mind is laughable. Goodell will fight tooth and nail..
