The bag had 24 balls in it. Somehow, this kid was able to differentiate between the Colts and Pats balls, and NAIL all 11 deflations in 90 seconds?
 
The Pats called their bluff and the NFL had a 5 and 7 unsuited.
Each team has its own bag of balls, both went into the bathroom.

I can't wait for the PBS special with conspiracy theorists taking the air out of 12 balls in 90 seconds a la Lee Harvey.

Love how Glazer reported "another area" and "different room."
 
Shitter, bruh, the word you're looking for is shitter.

Our exhaustive investigation has found no evidence that this ballboy washed his hands
Employees MUST wash hands before returning to work

We know when the ball boy took a piss but not whether an actual gauge test was done on the balls pregame or whether they were reinflatwded at halftime?

I got that right? Because if so, this is simply glorious. The league is literally a bunch of monkeys trying to fuck a football.

If true, that's good news overall.

Lets see if any of these media geniuses can hit upon another explanation, besides deflating footballs, for why a man might stop in a bathroom for approximately 90 seconds before having to go stand on the side of the field for the next couple hours.
 
I need the standard deviations of men's peeing times to provide an accurate analysis here.  Anything less will NOT SUFFICE.

ESPN op/ed: Kraft must fire Belichick and Brady for not knowing ballboy didn't wash hands

That's why they call it the sluggo seam route.

This 1 million times over. Nothing makes it seem more evident that someone in the NFL "leadership" is trying to screw over the Pats or at least win the PR battle in advance of losing the war.

I've mostly stuck to this thread for info and discussion, but circumstances had me listening to the Freddie Coleman show on espn radio. In a string of 10-12 consecutive callers there wasn't a single sane or even rational voice. Pretty depressing. Coleman himself didn't say a word about Belichick, Kraft, or Brady that wasn't dripping with sarcasm. What a hack job. It's odd, as this has gone on I've become more confident every day that the Pats are clean, and I assumed that maybe that the outside world might be keeping more of an open mind in light of the science and the pressers...nope.

Wait a second:
 
And, yes, the photo accompanying this story was taken inside one of the bathrooms at Gillette Stadium.  When NBC broadcast the Ravens-Patriots playoff game from Foxboro on January 10, Florio Jr. demanded pictures from the venue.  Since he didn’t specify where he wanted them from, I took one inside the bathroom and texted it to him.
 
So this guy's idea of joke was to send his son a picture of his urine festering in the bowels of Gilette?  I mean I get it, but it's still weird (although if he had taken a dump it would have been WAY funnier).
 
The internal conspiracy theorist thinks this is some bullshit to explain how he had a picture of the bathroom in the first place.  But, I think he's probably just weird.

Since he was carrying both bags (Patriots AND Colts) are we sure this is the Patriots ball boy?
 
Someone mentioned when this leak first came out that the rule states that a league employed ball attendant takes the footballs from the referees to the team ballboys before the game.  The rules say "ball attendant" and the leak said "locker room attendant" but if this PFT leak is true it was almost certainly the ball attendant.

Law of Urination:  all mammals empty their bladders over the same duration.  

Many urological studies rely upon animal models such as rats and pigs whose urination physics and correlation to humans are poorly understood. Here we elucidate the hydrodynamics of urination across five orders of magnitude in animal mass. Using high-speed videography and flow rate measurement at Zoo Atlanta, we discover the "Law of Urination," which states animals empty their bladders over nearly constant duration of average 21 seconds (standard deviation 13 seconds). This feat is made possible by larger animals having longer urethras, thus higher gravitational force and flow speed. Smaller mammals are challenged during urination due to high viscous and surface tension forces that limit their urine to single drops. Our findings reveal the urethra constitutes as a flow enhancing device, enabling the urinary system to be scaled up without compromising its function. This study may help in the diagnosis of urinary problems in animals and in inspiring the design of scalable hydrodynamic systems based on those in nature.

Average animal, 21 seconds. That ballboy was definitely up to no good in those extra 69 seconds.
 
Right, so the kid either broke the NFL rules or violated the Law of Urination, as defined in this article.  Take your poison, kid.

Not to be a cynic, but why wouldn't he pee before he picked up the balls? It's gotten so ridiculous now, this is great.

At home
Just tried it. From door closed to door open was 65 seconds. I wasn't handling two bags full of footballs.
