On Thursday — in March of 2016, in Month 15 of an all-out war waged over allegedly underinflated footballs — an NFL executive has claimed that the league didn’t even check for air pressure in footballs during the 2015 season.
Nope, Troy Vincent said. They weren’t worried about air pressure. Just protocol.
“We focus on procedure, balls being brought to the stadium,” Vincent, the NFL’s executive vice president, told The Boston Globe’s Ben Volin in a conference call Thursday. “There was no violation of game balls being checked in at the appropriate time. There was no violation of game balls being in the officials locker room, being brought to the field, back to the locker rooms at halftime, and then the balls being brought back to the locker room post game. So it’s the procedure of the balls themselves.”
