linkSo we're to believe they didn't mess with the game balls but tried to get away with putting an unapproved kicking ball onto the field? That's pretty egregious considering the special teams balls are in a separate bag away from the other balls. So there is no chance they just picked up the wrong ball and put it into play. They purposely tried to sneak the unapproved ball into play. This may take away any benefit of the doubt they may have been given about the game balls not being deflated on purpose.

I am so surprised....

What that linked story fails to mention is that the official was intially tipped off because he received a ball from the locker-room attendant and lr-attendants have no responsibility or right to handle game balls on the field.
That official was suspicious and thought to check the K ball, saw there was no official stamp on it, and notified his higher ups.

So a ball boy made a mistake and the ref noticed. Yeah. This will blow the thing wide open.

I lol deeply at the rug-sweeping term 'ball boy' used to minimize things - like he's some 6yr-old street urchin from NEWSIES. It was the long-time locker-room attendant - who if I am not mistaken is 48-yrs old .

This is the same 48 year old locker room attendant who disappeared into a bathroom with the Patriots game balls for 90 seconds. Coincidence? I think not.

The link you posted says: "It’s unknown whether the 48-year-old is the same person who was reportedly seen on surveillance tapes taking a bag of footballs into a bathroom."

This is the kind of irresponsible gossip that has besmirched the otherwise pristine record of some very honorable men! "It’s unknown whether the 48-year-old is the same person who was reportedly seen on surveillance tapes taking a bag of footballs into a bathroom."
