I've been interested in a conclusion to the whole deflate gate situation. But, I don't think there's ever gonna be one.
Now it's being said that an NFL official was fired because he tried to pilfer a game ball to sell. Those balls are supposed to be donated to charity after the game.
And, a couple of days ago ESPN ran a story about a Patriots' locker room attendant trying to introduce an unapproved ball into the game. But, turns out, he was handing the ball to an official. It was a ball which reportedly had been switched out for the one to be sold, about which the locker room attendant couldn't be expected to know jack shit.
Crazy. I think username was probably right upthread. The NFL needs to have a strict game ball security process implemented to avoid more ball-related breaches or scandals (be they grounded in fact or fiction). Kinda sad it's even an issue.
