Pretty much. If Goodell cannot stop the leaks, he has no business being Commissioner. Note that the NFL Office issued a "no comment" on this leak.
At this point, BB can pretty convincingly paint an us against the world picture here.
So let me get this straight.
Glazer first blames BB, then he blames brady, then he blames the NFL, and now he blames the attendant.
If he has sources telling him facts that represent four mutually exclusive possibilities, then the responsible thing to do is to check his sources before reporting.
If these sources are fabrications, then he's making shit up.
So either he's unethical or completely incompetent as a reporter, take your pick.

It's hard to do these experiments if your calculations require massless objects and frictionless surfaces.rodderick said:
One idiot Pats hater I was "discussing" this with claimed that the one un-altered ball was just in case Garoppolo had to come into the game. I am so done with this ship. I am starting to HATE the NFL.yecul said:
Assuming the ball boy let out the air. Is there anyway short of a confession to prove that ball boy was doing this for the pats and not some addict owner with an axe to grind? I would definitely screw over my favorite team for a few thousand dollars.Ed Hillel said:

Not even this is true. I tried an equation with the gauge pressure, and another with the temps in Fahrenheit (instead of Kelvin). I never once got a temperature anywhere close to 125F (used 45-55 degree outside air). I have no idea what he's talking about, or what kind of equation he used. Would love to see him show his work.

Reminds me of the physicist years ago insisting that a baseball curving in air was simply an optical illusion. The goober forgot about the seams on the ball.
This whole thing is just one giant fucked up haiku
first: accusations
then: it's all clearly bullshit
in the end: fuck you!

It's a nice story to get the game officials off the hook. This is monkey poo flinging going on.
I too am growing very concerned. To allow these continuous leaks to happen is irresponsible if you believe the Patriots are innocent. We've seen such leaks before as a way to sway public opinion towards the eventual decision. It's quite possible that the league has it in for the Patriots, conclusive evidence or no, and they simply stretching it out because they know that they can't fuck up the Super Bowl.
It's amazing that the Patriots will have played in probably the 2 most publicized Super Bowls, being viewed as the enemy in each, with the world on the edge of their seats.

Bill just needs to burn the fucking league to the ground. Win Sunday and then go to town, releasing every skeleton in every closet he knows about.
Press day should consist of Patriots answering every question with 'We're on to Seattle' with varying inflection and accents.
Just...wow...so nomore.org is advocating against discussing domestic violence? I really don't follow this ad campaign.CoffeeNerdness said:
The League clearly wants to drag this out more. Fuck them for that.
If they wanted to, they could have a press conference announcing the status of the investigation, and that nothing more would be done until the Superbowl was over. This idea that they are working in the backroom like the FBI trying to CRACK THE CASE BEFORE THE BIG GAME is just feeding into the frenzy.

It's actually much easier for the ballboy to file a libel lawsuit against various news media if this BS intensifies (remember Richard Jewell, http://law.jrank.org/pages/8241/Libel-Slander-Richard-Jewell-Olympic-Park-Bombing.html). The ballboy is not a public figure. "As a private individual, Jewell would simply need to prove that the newspaper acted with NEGLIGENCE or carelessness in reporting information that was false and defamatory in content."
You know we are dealing with Goodell's NFL here, right? I'd do cartwheels for irresponsible... this seems much more deliberate than that.djbayko said:

If the refs did screw up by failing to test the balls, the narrative that "the ball boy disappeared for a couple of minutes but we don't have evidence of any wrongdoing so we're closing this down and moving on" furthers two goals: protecting the refs (therefore preserving the integrity of the league) and letting the Pats twist in the wind of public opinion (assuming the league actually doe shave it in for them).
Again, if the league truly has it in for the Patriots, how would Roger present the trophy when the Patriots win on Sunday?djbayko said:
BB obviously questioned whichever ballboy brought the balls to the field. If that person tampered, BB knew, and to my mind there's no way he denies the tampering so stridently while knowing that a ballboy's testimony could unravel the whole thing and thrust him and Brady into the Palmeiro/Lance Armstrong category of publicly disgraced liars for the rest of their lives. The irresponsibility of these leaks...wow. Just wow.
This can't be stressed enough - real science is way more than plugging numbers into equations.djbayko said:
On the "only 11 of the 12 balls were under-inflated" thing - Blount handed the ball to a fan in the stands after his 2nd TD. So there were only 11 balls to test at halftime.
I am expecting this to turn out just like the mort 2lbs tweet. In a few days we will find out that he walked into a room without a hat on and returned to the hallway 15 seconds later with a hat on.
But by then hearts and minds will have already convicted the pats.
FUCK. THE. NFL.

Yes, but I'm saying he even got the plugging numbers wrong. More likely, he is misinformed and using the wrong inputs.
Yes, but they couldn't break him. All they got out of him was 'Shire! Baggins!'Van Everyman said:
