There's more solid evidence of the Grigson-Kensil-Mortensen connection than there was against Brady and that's without any reporter citing "anonymous sources" to confirm it.
The alleged Ravens-Colts connection is also interesting, if someone would dig into it. If I remember my Wells Report correctly, the Colts equipment guy claimed someone from the Ravens called him to be on alert for any shenanigans with the footballs. Harbaugh claimed this was totally untrue, so one side must be lying.
If it's the Colts, then that means their whole basis for being suspicious of the Patriots is non-existent. If there was no warning from Baltimore, all they have is their "everybody knows the Patriots tamper with footballs" claim, which they basically made up. They couldn't remember who told them that or when they heard it and Wells didn't find anyone to support that claim.
If Harbaugh is lying and his team really did contact the Colts, then it just reinforces what a low character weasel Harbaugh is. His team wouldn't even face any heat if the story was true and he still lied about it.
A frustrating point is that, if the Ravens were suspicious about footballs after the 2014 divisional game, it was because a league employee was stealing them to sell online. The NFL knew about this, but still let the guy work playoff games before finally firing him. If the league didn't look the other way at this theft, then maybe there's no reason for Baltimore to ever be suspicious and no reason to call the Colts, if they did.
That's another story that could use some scrutiny. Jackson from the Colts said he never told anyone the football he intercepts felt "soft" If that's true, who made up that story and why? According to one
article, the Colts equipment guy says Jackson told him and that got the ball rolling for him to tell Grigson, who told the Vincent and then the sting went into effect.
If the equipment guy was lying about that, lying about alerted by the Ravens, and lying about the Patriots tampering being well known, how does he have any credibility? And who put him up to all this? It seems unbelievable that an equipment guy could concoct this entire scheme and get everyone to go along with it all by himself. It makes a lot more sense that Grigson and Irsay were involved.
