So than their calling the Colts liars. .....hmm mm shouldn't the colts reply now? Let's just get everybody calling each other liars and make this circus even bigger. LolIt was in the emails between the Colts and nfl office, released in the appeal docs. Another lie exposed, add it to the list.
Deflategate has shown just how bad the media is at reporting a story.
As you can see, Sullivan alleges that a Ravens coach called Colts head coach Chuck Pagano before the AFC championship game to warn him about problems they had with the kicking balls in Foxborough.
This is odd, though, because the kicking balls are not prepared by either team. According to the NFL rule book, "for all games, six new footballs, sealed in a special box and shipped by the manufacturer to the Referee, will be opened in the officials' locker room two hours and 15 minutes prior to the starting time of the game. These balls are to be specially marked by the Referee and used exclusively for the kicking game."
This could be yet another example of the casual nature of football protocol. Sullivan says in the email that the Ravens were "given new footballs instead of the ones that were prepared correctly. We would like to use the footballs that I will break in."
Unless Sullivan means the team generally "breaks in" the new footballs in the two hours and 15 minutes before kickoff, his comment makes little sense. If the Ravens are generally allowed to use footballs that are broken in days and weeks beforehand, not the new ones shipped from the manufacturer, this simply illustrates how little NFL referees care about football preparation.
Make sure the refs rotate the kicking balls cause last week they wouldn’t let our ball in the game. Their ball was done so poorly that it was nearly impossible to kick off deep…It was hard and not worked in well at all…Let Tom (McMahon, Colts special teams coordinator) know he can call me at any time.”
Dont think sulllivan says ravens talked about deflatd footballs. I think he says ravens told him about kicking balls and the other thing is that its well know around league blah blah...which seems is his own rumor from somewhere else. At least thats what the ravens say.Why would Sullivan lie in an internal email that he, in his wildest dreams, never imagined would go public?

Regardless what happened, the NFL looks really bad once this report came out with teams throwing barbs ,releasing text messages.... This is what they wanted.
