Is a criminal investigation warranted?

[ralmat55]

Not being an attorney or in law enforcement, I'm wondering if it would be warranted for law enforcement to conduct a criminal investigation concerning the over inflation of the Patriots' footballs in the Jets game?

Given the meticulous protocols the NFL officials follow when it comes to ball inflation, can there be any other explanation for the over inflation of these balls other than it being an intentional act by the responsible official. There are statutes on the book covering point-shaving and other attempts to influence athletic contests so why wouldn't the over inflation of the balls to influence the game be a criminal act?

Yes. Gary Tanguay is criminally stupid. Weei is aiding and abetting a moron by allowing him on the air. Please make it stop. Please!

Over inflategate! Just chalk it up to another issue swept under the rug. A non biased Investigation or probe involving NY jokes will never happen under the current regime. The fix is in to level the playing field. Note there is no law from preventing the league from fixing it's own contest. The Nfl is an entertainment business. When you purchase a ticket to a game you are guaranteed nothing other than a seat to be a spectator of this corrupt league.
