Does anyone know or heard of the basis on which Grigson notified the league of their concerns about the footballs before the game.
Grigson wouldn't comment. Maybe because the league has told him not to talk about the subject at all, however, naturally he disobeyed that in addressing deflate questions yesterday. I tend to think the source of the suspicion is going to either reflect poorly on the Colts or be murky.
Unless it comes out they had these concerns in November, then they got these concerns in the week leading up to the game. Which makes me tend to believe the Ravens are involved. Considering we know several Ravens were interviewed for the investigation, per Harbaugh, and Harbaugh would only say he was not involved "per se," I have what I feel is a justifiable hunch on where the [flawed] idea that the Patriots were tampering with balls germinated.
My current guess is that it went from Harbaugh to Pagano and they used Grigson to push it to the league so that the coach wasn't involved. It would be a waste of Pagano's time when he should be game-planning, and coach on coach crime does not reflect well. If the Wells report shows Grigson's reasoning were ambiguous, it will further support this conclusion for me.
Take that for what it's worth: Tom Brady & Bill Belichick have not been interviewed by the investigators - perhaps out of availability - but Ravens have.
