The NFL is reaping the rewards of indoctrinating the masses to the idea that NE's balls were several psi below the minimum. Even though their own slanted analysis indicates a trivial amount of air was released, the fact that they can claim it couldn't have occurred naturally allows them to maintain the condescension of the higher amount.
I can't tell if this is a brilliantly crafted plan or if they were so boisterous at first that embarrassment and a stubborn refusal to admit error has taken them down this path. The whole office was marching in such immediate lockstep that I honestly lean toward the former.
Even a brilliantly crafted house of cards will fall when it is built on falsehoods. Judge Berman has raised the pressure on both parties recently and I would expect someone in Rogers party is starting to get nervous. Whether it's because they do not want to be on the wrong side of history or if they are worried about their future with the league but eventually someone is going to leak something especially if Judge Berman turns up the pressure cooker a little higher.
Or maybe I'm being a little too optimistic.
