shmessy · Jan 20, 2016

Greg Aiello is attempting a cover up on the NFL's handling of the kicking balls on Saturday. #Integrity.

NFL, State Police pull off Hail Mary for Patriots playoff game - The Boston Globe

"An NFL spokesman, Greg Aiello, declined to comment on Saturday’s incident.
“There were no issues with the footballs used in the game,” he wrote in an e-mail....."

Waaaaaaaaiiiiit a second, Greg!!!!!

Aren't those footballs supposed to be in the CUSTODY OF THE NFL OFFICIALS AND NOT WITH UNCERTIFIED PERSONNEL???????

What the hell is THIS then?????

"A Hyatt employee recovered the footballs and gauges, and a worker and State Police Detective Lieutenant Thomas Coffey drove the items to Gillette, where they arrived about an hour before kickoff at 4:35 p.m., Procopio said."

How long does it take a MA State Trooper to let the air out of kicking ball?

They forgot to bring the gages? The gages are critical to ensuring the balls are at the proper PSI.

Because integrity!

What will we tell the children Greg?

Did they say gages? Surely it must have been an anagram for "a eggs"?

So, Mr. Commissioner, can you enlighten us all more about this "Chain of Custody" subject, and how Mr. McNally did something so totally against the rules last January?

Why is this a police matter? https://twitter.com/davidwade/status/689986138111614979…

@AlbertBreer Maybe the fire department was busy.

I smell a 5 million dollar investigation coming on. Time to get Ted Wells out of mothballs to spin this. Start the leaks and crank up that NFL PR machine.

Watch this resurface in the NFL's appeal.
Der Kommisar is likely more aware than not that he hires chimpanzees as NFL refs.
Dunderheads.

It depends where he stopped to take a leak and how long he was in there with his balls, er, I mean his footballs...

Of course, you know ESPN will just JUMP all over this..........................<crickets>

Hope the NFL paid the troopers for this and not stick the bill to tax payers.

Who am I kidding it's the NFL of course they stuck it to the taxpayers!

I have faith he will.

What a freaking joke.

By Goodell's own words, shouldn't every referee and official involved in this be subject to suspension for violating the integrity of the game? I mean Brady was more probable than not generally aware of McNally taking the balls into the bathroom for 90 seconds and that was a 4 game suspension, plus the NFL mandated that Kraft suspend McNally and Jastremski. So what will the suspensions be for all involved in this? It was a f***ing lot longer than 90 seconds, so the suspension should be like 20 years right? At least?

THIS.

Where is Peter King, Mike Florio and that jet fan "Ombudsperson" at ESPN who was claiming he was getting busy with a big Deflategate piece this week?

I'm not on Twitter, but can someone who is tweet these people?
