Goodell press conference includes surprising answer about football testing

Posted by Mike Florio on January 31, 2015, 1:07 PM EST

" ...Asked at the Friday press conference by Mike Reiss of ESPNBoston.com regarding whether halftime testing has occurred in the past, Commissioner Roger Goodell provided a surprising response.

“I don’t know the answer to that question,” Goodell said. “That would be something, I presume, that Ted Wells would look into and will provide that information.” ..."

This man is paid $ 40 M $ / Year to not know the answer to a question he should know the answer to?

Yes, because the CEO of a multi-billion dollar industry should know if the balls are checked at halftime.

Exactly.

Finished the critique and the data at points seems to include Special Teams fumbles. Which kinda obliterates the idea of studying under inflated balls for the offense.

[Joemailman]

Nobody can say these footballs are under-inflated.

NFL didn’t log the PSI of each Patriots football

Posted by Michael David Smith on January 29, 2015, 5:30 PM EST

" ... the NFL hasn’t kept detailed records of whether those footballs were slightly under-inflated (which could be the result of a change in temperature) or significantly under-inflated (which would indicate that someone purposely let air out of the footballs).

.... anyone who wants the NFL to get to the bottom of this should want the NFL to be as careful as it possibly can to preserve every piece of evidence it possibly can. And a detailed log of the inflation levels of each football is a piece of evidence the NFL should have. "

I'm not sure if this was posted on the thread but in any case it's interesting. The Commissioner was just on this afternoon and he did speak about the responsibility he has and takes seriously in terms of ensuring the rules are followed.:

Deflating footballs may not be as easy as it sounds.

I think if the NFL gets to this point, even I will lose interest in the game

[gbgary]

saw a note that the nfl will look into changing this stupid rule in the off-season.

Yea ...we're distracted.

A wonder of modern medicine!?

Does she or doesn't she have a breast augmentation?

Does it matter?

The case has developed a few holes!

Patriots had one ball well below normal PSI, 10 others were within a "few ticks" of the low end of the spectrum. Of course, since no one knows the numbers, a few ticks could mean anything, though Florio assumes this means Mort's report of 11 balls 2 PSI blow standard was wrong.

Kraft “really upset” and “ticked off” about Deflategate investigation

Comment woodbuck27:

It appears to me this is more about 2015-16 and winning back to back Super Bowls.

Five total wins in 50 years and all of those in the Bill Belichick - Tom Brady Era.

An impressive goal if it's achieved.

Jerry Rice admits to cheating, says everyone did it

Posted by Mike Florio on February 7, 2015, 10:28 AM EST

“.... I feel like it’s cheating,” Rice told Jim Rome .... regarding the current controversy regarding whether the Patriots deflated footballs. “Because you have an edge up on your opponent and it’s unfortunate that it happened. I’m not saying the outcome of the game would have been different or anything like that because they (the Colts) got beat 45-7, but they (the Pat's) still had an edge.”

By claiming that “All players did it!” regarding stickum use, Rice is trying to create the impression that he didn’t have an edge.

Regardless, it’s now clear that the greatest receiver of all time cheated — and it’s hard not to wonder whether Rice discovered the glove-stickum combo at some point during a rocky rookie season that featured nearly enough drops to get him benched. ... "

Comment woodbuck27:

If NFL teams and player are cheating and getting away with it or breaking the rules.

That's on the NFL to get a grip on the extent of this and stop it.
