I know Joker has been pounding this drum for a while. And maybe my tinfoil hat is on a little too tight today but Kensil has surprisingly been left out of the conversation lately regarding this latest round of deflate nonsense. My question is how many other Patriots games he has attended. He has stated he attends 45-50 games a year. Was he there in 2006 (remember, he was still a Jet employee up until early 2006) when the Patriots complained about the Jets filming signals. Was he at the spygate game? Was he there the one and only time that blocking penalty on a kick was called and I'm sure there are plenty others. Is there any way of finding out what games he has actually attended?
We know the animosity he has towards Belichick. We know he was the leak about the PSI . We know he went over to the Pats sideline, gloating, saying the were F'd. We know he still belongs to a Jets fan club. Funny how the Pats were never called cheaters until he started working for the league in charge of rule enforcement.
However, what I find most curious is his direct quote from the League Governance website itself about using piped in crowd noise by a team that is "prone to misbehavior". Couldn't be the Colts could it? Funny how nothing ever happened to them. They're not cheaters, right? Just conspirators.

Game Operations staff attend many games in person. Mike Kensil, vice president of Game Operations, said he attends 45 to 50 games a year from the preseason through the Super Bowl, checking everything from field conditions and communications equipment to game security and the coach’s box (which must have two TV monitors for each team) before game time.
"Teams feel better when you’re there. They just see you there and realize nobody’s really going to try to take advantage of any of the rules."
MIKE KENSIL, VICE PRESIDENT OF GAME OPERATIONS
“Certain [visiting] teams feel better when you’re there,” especially for heated rivalries, Kensil said. “They just see you there and realize nobody’s really going to try to take advantage of any of the rules.” And if he is aware of a team prone to misbehavior — like misusing the public address system to create artificial noise — he might make his presence known before the game.

The Colts were caught on tape piping in artificial crowd noise during the 2007 Colts-Patriots game in an attempt to make it harder for the visiting team to call signals. National TV broadcast even caught a skipping crowd noise on their live broadcast.
Near the end, you notice some repeating reverb coming from the Indianapolis faithful. The background sound then shuts off, and the crowd sounds a whole lot quieter. Miraculously, the noise was particularly amplified when quarterback Tom Brady was trying to call signals.
Patriots president Jonathan Kraft told the NFL about the skipping audio and asked the league to take action. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello responded that he was told (by NFL partner CBS) that the weird noise was tape feedback from the CBS production truck, and the sound was limited to the television broadcast and was not heard inside the stadium.
A Colts security guard, however, blew the whistle on the team, according to WBZ photojournalist Bryan Foley. At least initially, the Colts refused to explicitly deny that they pumped in faked crowd noise to the RCA Dome.
Mmm, was he at that game too? How about the Championship game where the Colts blasted the heat to exhaust the Pats. Lot of funny business happening with only one team being punished and over the most trivial of things. And all under the clown's watch. Yet nobody seems to be questioning him anymore.
