As an addendum to the above, if Mort's report is true, and 11 out of 12 balls were 2 PSI under, and pretty much uniformly, instead of just all over the map and lazily reported, and the NFL report of being held til 10 minutes before kickoff is to be believed? Isn't, once again, the Occam's Razor response for not just this, but also the press conferences the Pats gave, that the refs fucked up? I mean, complete denial, total cooperation makes a ton of sense if you presented under inflated balls for the checkup. You KNOW that there is going to be zero evidence of tampering post inspection, and there are no witnesses for it, because it didn't happen. The reported PSI is what you gave to the refs pregame. You know that the league could spend the next 10 years investigating and not get a lick of evidence.
