    NFL says no conclusion yet on deflated footballs used during Patriots' game

    FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The NFL says it is still investigating how the New England Patriots used underinflated balls in their last game but has no conclusions yet and no timetable for resolving the cheating accusations with the Super Bowl nine days away.

    The league said Friday that evidence shows the Patriots used underinflated footballs during the first half of the AFC championship game Sunday night against the Indianapolis Colts.

    It issued a statement that the Patriots have pledged full cooperation and have given the league information it requested and made personnel available upon request. Quarterback Tom Brady said Thursday afternoon he had not been contacted at that point.

    The NFL said it began its investigation Sunday night and expects full cooperation from other clubs. It has hired an investigatory company to help in reviewing electronic and video information.

    The league said when it is able to come to conclusions, they will be shared publicly. Bloomberg News reported today that Super Bowl referee Bill Vinovich and his six-man officiating crew will have strict control over game balls -- per long standing policy -- during the Feb. 1 Super Bowl between the Patriots and the defending champion Seattle Seahawks.

    “Over the past several days, nearly 40 interviews have been conducted, including of Patriots personnel, game officials, and third parties with relevant information and expertise,” the statement said.

    “We have obtained and are continuing to obtain additional information, including video and other electronic information and physical evidence,” the statement said.

    It would be poetic justice if it's the video evidence that does them in.

    Videos are no good in NFL investigations. They get signed for and then sent straight to a shredder or fire place or disappear into thin air.

    Love reading the Massholes responses to the articles. Their legacy is further tainted no matter what the eventual findings may be.

    Of course. Goodell is going to make a joke of this too. Their "investigation" is a dog and pony show and they won't find anything and nothing will be done. Fuck Goodell.

    They are also pushing it off and saying that everybody else does it too. The ball guy knows that Brady likes a light ball to give it a softer touch. He also knows Brady likes show tunes and steam baths.

    Kester also told WHDH in Boston that "deflating the balls right before the game, after inspection, would have been very difficult."
    Really? I've heard multiple times this week that there is a 2+ hour delay between the time the balls are inspected by the officials and the beginning of a game. For a person with the right access, seems to me it would be pretty easy, especially for the home team.

    Not sure who got the ball first, but NE could do it on the first drive of the game. How long would it take to deflate 1 ball? 30 seconds? Get it into play and the guy keeps deflating. 1 commercial break would give you about 4 balls. The 1 left at regulation was probably for the kicking game.

    The Shield has taken a beating this year. Goodell needs to be gone.

    That or "We're just going to keep stringing this along without saying much until after the Super Bowl, then we'll announce whatever we decide the day before the start of the NCAA basketball tournament, or opening day of baseball season, or right after a player murders someone, or something else that will take attention away from us." Bank on it.

    The NFL is hoping that another Raven beats up his wife before the Super Bowl.

    No, no - AFTER the Super Bowl. Don't want all those negative nellies distracting everyone from the prom. They want all the stabbings, etc. squarely in the middle of the offseason.

    I think it will. This story hasn't gone the obligatory 3-days-and-everyone-will-forget route, if anything it's gained steam with more people speaking up. It would serve Roger right if this thing just keeps blowing up during SB week.

    Yep. Especially since he had an opportunity to deal with it in November when the Colts first reported it and did nothing about it.

    Poor Marsha. You know, if you don't want people questioning you about cheating, how about, you know, stop cheating! Wow, what a concept!

    Re: NFL says no conclusion yet on deflated footballs used during Patriots' game

    I'm convinced now that the NFL ain't gonna do a thing before the SB.

    I definitely won't be watching the game and I may go on a Goodell ban. As long as he is commish, I may never watch another game. However, it is going to be tough not watching the Steelers. I may take the off season to decide.

    The NFL, in a short span has gone from #1 league to total lack of respect. The Steelers did the right thing with the last CBA, because they are the only team that knows football. At least the demise of the NFL can't be laid at the feet of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Thanks Roger.

    Unfortunately, Dan Rooney did have a big hand in helping the jerk be named commissioner in the first place. I think it's safe to say he didn't see all this coming.

    Wilson weighs in:

    Everyone from Bill Nye the Science Guy to Saturday Night Live is weighing in on the DeflateGate scandal, and now the official manufacturer of the league's footballs -- Wilson Sporting Goods -- has joined the debate from Arizona, per a report from Boston.com.

    The company claims that all of its footballs are set at the regulation air pressure when they are delivered to the NFL, and that there is little chance that a simple change in temperature could have significantly deflated the balls during the AFC Championship.
