The fact of what this video shows PLUS the fact that the Patriots provided this video to the league last week tells me, once again, that there is simply no way this was nefarious, and really NO WAY Kraft, BB and TB12 would be exposing themselves in these press conferences if they thought there was any chance the kid went in there and deflated balls.

He knew he was being spoon fed by someone with an agenda, but probably didn't know how tortured the gist was.

90 seconds in the washroom=enters puts the ball bags down, locks the door, unzippers, does his business, rezippers, washes hands, picks up bags and unlocks door. Certainly it would take that long.

So the NFL's main focus right now is a ballboy who went into the bathroom for 90 seconds. Yeah, they have nothing.

this is why Bob Kraft was so angry. This is not a six figure earning media savvy athlete or coach who is being recklessly smeared. It is guy with a menial job trying to earn a living. to float this story is the height of recklessness.

Not that anything about this makes sense, but why would a patriots locker room guy be carrying the colts balls.  If the league really cared it would either be a league official or a colts guy with the colts balls.

Thank god the ball attendant didn't have to drop a steamer! That's multiple minutes and counting and would have given the conspiracy loons even more to work with:
 
"So what WAS he doing in there for 5 minutes? Huh?"
 
"His exact quote from the interview was, "I had to take a shit""
 
Oh? In a Bathroom WITH the footballs? How conveeeeeeenient!"

Isn't it actually a league office of some sort that handles the balls from the refs' locker room to the field?

wait, i actually think i took a piss in that bathroom once when i was on a tour of Gillette. If it's the one i'm thinking of, it's literally just inside the tunnel from the patriots sideline (where they go down the steps)

Belichick needs to conduct a study of washroom duty times for us to be sure it is within a scientifically plausible range.

Maybe they have a video of you taking that piss. You should ask for it.

I don't think the away team flies their ball boys in for games. I could be wrong but doesn't the home team supply licker room attendants?

Plus, maybe he didn't really even need to go. He might have figured "this is my last chance for the next two hours. I'll get what I can out." It take a bit to get things going when you don't really need to go.

Everyone keeps saying kid, what if the attendant is a older guy with an enlarged prostate? The NFL might yet stumble into an ADA violation.

The biggest disappointment to me is the loss of two of voices of reason and science I truly respected in Nye and Tyson.   They can gain a bit back by issuing retractions but commenting publicly while both taking leaked assumptions as fact and screwing up basic scientific concepts has to me done irreparable damage to their standing as the public face of science to many.

So right about now, guys like Glazer, Mort and King have to be fuming right? Florio is totally punking them. They've been played like fools and they know it. What is their next move?

Depends on whether I'm using velcro bands to strap it to my leg or the more antiquated lace-up solution.

Just to be clear, he means NFLLeaks.com, the league site devoted to where & when all employees piss at all times.  They've had this for days.

So if I am reading this correctly, the NFL can get its hands on the video of a kid walking into a bathroom to take a piss, but can't seem to get a video of Race Rice in an elevator?

Looking back, love the Kraft double entendre about leaks, even if that was unintended.

So Stevie the ball boy took a leak and was so conscientious that he took the balls with him and that's Glazer's story? Holy cow. There is no fucking way you could deflate 10 or 11 balls in 90 seconds. That must have been one hell of an interview. What were you doing in the bathroom, Stevie? Uhh, using it Mr. Wells. Why did you bring the balls? Cuz, I'm supposed to.

Wells' team has to be telling the NFL there's no way to prove tampering beyond a reasonable doubt and avoid a lawsuit from either Kraft or the NFLPA on behalf of Brady.

The Twitter theory is now that there was another bag of properly deflated balls already stashed in the bathroom with the officials' forged marks on them.

The question isn't how fast can you take a piss. It's how fast can you deflate 11 footballs in a zipped bag, and do it accurately to 1 or 2 psi without accidentally deflating one to a point where you will totally get busted?
