I thought BB said rubbing increases the PSI
What they ough to do is make it clear that it is unacceptable for coaches to go all Eddie Haskell when they lose and bring massive disrepute and expense to the league.Me too, but that = tacit acknowledgement that none of this **** matters in the first place. Which makes it a no-go, since the NFL has spent the last week trying to convince everyone that this is somehow important to the integrity of the game.
He has one now...Funny...PFT has NO article on this now....go figure...frauds
and taking that analogy a little further back, the Minutemen beat back the Redcoats. Again.This is our Battle Of Midway. The NFL and Media came with their 4 carriers and huge air force to take us out. We sunk all 4 carriers and destroyed their air force. Victory is inevitable.
NFL officiating chief Dean Blandino says the inspection of the footballs by referee Walt Anderson before the AFC championship game was handled properly.
Blandino also said Thursday the process of inspecting the balls and security surrounding the inspections will be enhanced for Sunday's Super Bowl.
Refs not logging the pre-game PSI doesn't really matter. What matters is whether or not they measured the PSI pre-game. If Walt Anderson tells Goodell that all the NE balls were 12.5 PSI or higher, that's all Goodell is going to care about.
(And even in real courts that would be valid evidence and the jury (or judge, if a bench trial) would have to decide how much to believe Anderson. So it's not like not having logged the PSI is some magic thing that means NE gets off the hook. It wouldn't be true in real court and it certainly won't be true in front of Goodell.)
Given that referees must report discrepancies in balls to the commissioner regardless of cause, I'm surprised the rules don't have the referees write down hard numbers at the start or half-time. This points more to the NFL process and the officiating process, and not what the teams do with footballs. The Tom Brady rule from 2006 allows visiting teams to bring their own footballs and both teams can prepare the balls ahead of time.
Actually it matters greatly. Blandino said to the press that the balls were "properly tested and marked prior to the game".
Without a PSI log there is no data reference, and the entire saga could devolve a "he said; she said" scenario, which is the reason this investigation is dragging on, as Wells and his investigators would probably want to avoid such a scenario.

So, in short: The NFL doesn't have ****.
Anderson will say that the balls were all in the legal range and Goodell will accept that testimony as true. Still don't see why Anderson not writing down the actual numbers will matter one bit.
