IMO this was a Kensil Operation, This is my sequence:
NFL front office gets the email fron Grigson, normal gamesmanship
Kensil, Blandino, Gardi, Pash see the opening to get BB, so the Pats aren't notified to not deflate their footballs, they will run a sting and hopefully get BB, they tell Grigson to keep an eye on the Pats balls.
24 balls are delivered to Anderson @ 12.5 psi! He does the usual sloppy check ,nothing recorded, 12 balls kept as backup, 12 taken to the field by McNally, who is not not stopped , but is monitored by Kensil's people.
The stage is set, Goody isn't aware that anything is happening, yet.
First half, Pats 17-7, 1 TO. Grigson has equipment guy measure the psi, this is the 2nd quarter, psi has dropped as per the IGL, they notify Grigson who tells Kensil who get a boner.
Halftime the trap is sprung, balls are measured,minder pressure,moot em, start to measure Colts balls , damn they higher than Pats but still low, shut down after 4 Colts balls measured Kensil got BB!!!!!!
Pats balls inflated, destroying the evidence, Kensil thinks the balls are under weight dumbass doesn't know the difference between pressure and weight, figures, he was a Jet exec. Informs Pats they are in "Big f'n trouble.
2nd half disaster for Colts, Pats hang 28, Colts get thrown outta the club. Perhaps no one will care about the footballs after all the Colts were destroyed......
Now comes the interesting part, who dropped the dime to Kravitz?
Did Isray do enough Coke the drop Charlie Sheen and call Kravitz in. Drug fueled rage? Or did Kensil not want to let this opportunity slip and miss taking a shot getting BB banned from football?
I think the drug addict called his media guy. Kravitz goes nuts and writes his screed, things start to pick up the ball is rolling! Story attributes Dequell Jackson for noticing low psi and informing equipment guy, the lie is exposed later
Kensil see his chance to go for it, Gardi send the letter to the Pats the next day Jan 19, with false information and informs them they are presumed to be guilty.
Next day the infamous Mort report gets Kensil leak with 2+ psi low lie, story explodes leads every national news report. Firestorm ensues, pats fans are confused, Pash, Kensil, Gardi, Blandino and Goodell are on the story, Blandino is questioned about knowing about a Grigson complaint pre game, he lies and said they had no prior notice, were informed that Jackson noticed problem with Pats ball.
Things are going great, hopefully the Pats will lose Super Bowl and BB get banned for cheating, dynasty destroyed. Perfect. But then a problem showed up, people with a science engineering chemistry education started making noise about this Ideal Gas Law videos on you tube. The NFL suits are shocked, they had no idea that ball psi dropped with temp, if it got out that Goodell's people ran a sting to frame a team going to the SB, the firestorm would transfer to Goodell. The Head Smart Labs report vid report drops, they panic.
They call in the Fixer Ted Well to bury the Patriots and protect Goodell and the Kensil/Jets gang, we know the rest......leaks lies, compliant media. They are pissed that the Pats won the SB, that they couldn't tag BB , Brady is collateral damage, it was either Brady or Goodell no brainier for Park Ave.
The leaks have Brady and the Pats off balance for months,meddling with lies that make them look guilty.
This is my version, I hope after the NFLPA lawsuit is settled and the season ends that a defamation lawsuit establishing the defamation of Brady, McNally and Jastremski.
In addition to the bad guys at Park Ave taking it in the throat a lot of media jerks end up with egg on their face...
