Breaking news regarding Pats investigation
- Thread starter Elias
- Start date
Monday, Jay Glazer of FOX Sports added the next new big piece of news in #DeflateGate , reporting that the NFL has interviewed a locker room attendant who allegedly took footballs from the officials’ locker room after they had been inspected and approved “to another area on way to field” before the start of the game.
PFT can now contribute additional details to that story.
First, per a league source, the other “area on way to field” is a bathroom. The bathroom consists of one toilet and one sink and a door that locks from the inside.
Second, according to the same source, the person carried two bags of balls into the bathroom: the 12 balls to be used by the Patriots and the 12 balls to be used by the Colts.
Third, from the same source, the evidence comes from a surveillance video that was discovered by the Patriots and given to the NFL early in the investigation.
Fourth, again from the same source, the video shows the employee in the bathroom for approximately 90 seconds.
Could the employee have fished 12 balls out of a fairly large bag, deflated each of them by two pounds, put them back into the bag, and exited the bathroom in roughly 90 seconds? That question will surely become the centerpiece of the next red state/blue state debate between folks who have determined that the Patriots have done something wrong and those who are staunchly defending the franchise.

Wll first of all a football is not a heavy thing and 11 will not fit on the sink so he would have to taken 11 footballs out one by one deflate them set them on the ground and then proceed to pick them all back up again and put them in the bag all in 90 seconds ................yeah sure and if they have video of that they need to chk the datestamp..........pretty convenient he picked a room that had no video.

More bullsh*t from stinking serial cheaters who should have been banned from the NFL for life in 2008
Kraft, Belichick, Brady
Hitler, Goebbels, Goering

Sounds like another test that needs to be added to the list of experiments.
Calling Bill Nye...Calling Bill Nye!
And here's another question. Is it possible to use the toilet when the room is also occupied by 2 bags of balls? Sounds a bit crowded.
Actually, the report I saw on Bill Nye did not mention him doing any actual testing. Just him offering his opinion. And he completed his comments with "Go Seahawks." Some may question his objectivity.

99.9999753 percent of NFL fans outside of that small pocket of ignorance known as New England are, like Bill Nye, rooting for the Seahawks to run up 60 or more in thumping the Cheating Scumbags
Yeah, but if you're putting yourself out there as an authority, you shouldn't be shouting out support for the Pats' opponent. It's like the guy who, during the jury selection process, yelled out "Go Pats." Not a chance in hell he would have been selected. And is probably exactly what he wanted.
Edit: Trial of Aaron Hernandez.

The attendant went into the bathroom with approved bag of balls and didn't have to deflate them in 90 seconds because there was another bag of balls in the bathroom already deflated. The ball boy or whoever they are focusing on didn't do this on their own. This has been done many times during the season and the stats back it up. I play flag football and each team uses their own ball. My QB always played with a football slightly deflated in the cold. It is so much easier to throw and catch. These douchebags cheated and have always cheated. The NFL doesn't care about their product so I won't buy their product. No Sunday Ticket, No jerseys and no attending games. The NFL is a complete joke. Go Seahawks!!

interesting
That's obviously only an opinion, but these guys have been proven many times to cheat so that is my new theory.
Not possible. The officials put an ID mark on each ball after they inspect them.
It is amazing how fast that balls can be deflated. I saw a video where a digital deflator is demonstrated. In just a few quick button pushes the 11 balls can be deflated by the needed amount, which is really only 1 psi. The temperature difference between inside and outside can drop the pressure the other needed 1 psi. If this guy has been doing this since 2007, he could probably deflate each ball by 1 psi in under 5 seconds per ball. That might even give him a chance to take a piss, if that's even possible in a single-seater restroom that also has 2 bags with 12 balls in each.
