The Daily News thing is a joke, right? I mean, first of all the entire process, comprising going into the bathroom, entering a stall, deflating the balls and leaving the bathroom took about 80 seconds. Saying he did it in 40 is counting just the time it took him to deflate the footballs, which is incredibly dishonest.
Second of all, the dude clearly rushed through the process, trying his hardest to complete it below the alloted time of 90 seconds. Would the ballboy be intent on beating some world record? Why rush through this when you're alone in a stall?
Lastly, this was accomplished by deflating the balls willy nilly, with the guy sticking the needle in each ball for the amount of time he felt was right, without any method. There also wasn't any checking of the pressure of the footballs afterwards, so do we really believe the Pats would put this on the hands of a ballboy who wouldn't even check how inflated the balls are after the process? If Tom Brady is so specific in how he likes his footballs, in order to go through this whole process to guarantee they are to his liking, how the fuck would there be no measurement in the end? He's just supposed to trust this underpaid kid? The whole thing is ridiculous.
