"FOX Sports has learned that the NFL has zeroed in on a New England Patriots locker-room attendant in connection with the scandal of improperly inflated footballs used in the AFC championship game against Indianapolis..."

pretty much. the fall guy. fall on the sword guy. but we all know these folks don't do anything like this without orders from higher up.

 

[cowboyblue22]

everyone knew there would be a fall guy Im sure his will be well paid

 

[DallasCowboys2080]

hell SNL knew! lol

 

[TheDallasDon]

We all knew this BUT who told him?

 

[Nightman]

hell SNL knew! lol

Dougie Spoons........."you want me on those balls, you need me on those balls"

yeah that's million dollar question. guess we will never know unless the attendant gets his money and goes rouge after a number of years and spills the beans. but we can all safely assume that these guys don't make a move unless told so from someone with more authority than them. but its all speculation and uses circumstantial evidence and right now the evidence is building a strong case. I have a hard time believing the attendant just lets the pressure out of the ball (if indeed the "person of interest" points to this) on his own accord.imho these folks never jeopardize their jobs like that. they get their blessings from the org and they are safe, usually. but I guess anything is possible. if pats hadn't had an extensive cheating resume already I would have given them the benefit of the doubt. but that's not the case now.

Well I'll say this: Either the Patriots aren't worried about this ball boy report or Bob Kraft is a man you don't want to play poker with.

 

[camelboy]

He's a Brady/Patroits hater who tried to screw them by messing with the ball pressure by making it exactly how Brady likes…I call for electric chair execution…how dare he mess with a clean reputation of such an organization like the new england cheatriots

 

[Beast_from_East]

LMAO.................did the NFL get this idea from SNL?

Wow, the equipment guy did it!!!!!

And it was all on his own accord, nobody told him to do this, especially not Brady or Hoodie..............................do they actually think anybody is going to buy this, seriously?

The League has some heavyweights doing security for them, ex-military, FBI types. They could probably lean on him pretty hard. It would interesting to see how loyal he would be if he was ordered to deflate the balls.

 

[Phoenix]

This guy will be an instant zillionaire. Taking the heat for all the cheating over the years? Wow.

But mark my words: This is the end of the Patriots. Suddenly, for inexplicable reasons, they will plummet down to Earth among the rest of the NFL teams, actually fumbling with relatively equal frequency as EVERY OTHER TEAM.

 

[Idgit]

There is surveillance video showing the attendant taking the footballs from the official's locker room into another room at Gillette Stadium before bringing them out to the field, sources tell FOX Sports.

Is there really any way to tell what happened to the balls when they were in that mysterious other room? I guess we'll never really know what happened. Because it's just impossible to say. I know I"m scratching my head over here trying to think of what could possibly have happened.

good point. suddenly ballGhazi has a deeper meaning.

ive pondered this as well. this might happen. or maybe Tom and Bill might retire in time for us to not put these two things together.

perhaps these officials/authorities/investigators will conclude that there should be no reason to move this balls into a mysterious other room other than for tampering? they're doing a lot of interviews and they will definitely cover all their bases. hopefully.
