Deflategate fallout: NFL focusing on Patriots' locker-room attendant
Fox Sports ^ | 1/26/2015 | Jay Glazer

Deflategate has taken another twist.

FOX Sports has learned that the NFL has zeroed in on a New England Patriots locker-room attendant in connection with the scandal of improperly inflated footballs used in the AFC championship game against Indianapolis.

The person of interest was already interviewed by the league. The NFL is trying to determine whether any wrongdoing by this individual occurred, sources tell FOX Sports.

There is surveillance video showing the attendant taking the footballs from the official's locker room into another room at Gillette Stadium before bringing them out to the field, sources tell FOX Sports.

A rogue element, undoubtably.

There is zero chance something like this was not done with Brady’s direction, if not the coaching organization. Zero. If they fall guy someone like this, it’s worse than something bigger. Much worse. In a crazy way, this is far worse than their other issues this season because it’s a direction violation of game rules and cheating the outcome.

.
And that “individual” took it all upon himself to deflate the balls without consulting another “individual”.

Yeah, right.

Let’s just forget about it all — it’s all about a game that millionaires play.

Do you suppose it was a CRIME? If not, then the “fall guy” really has nothing to lose. Will go out on the interview circuit, maybe write a nice book. Probably has a stream of cash promised to him for the rest of his natural life expectancy by “boosters” of the Patriots.

There’s zero chance that anyone did anything at all. It’s the NFL office trying to avoid embarrasmnet and humiliation taht they forget basic physics

Depends on where the legs of this go. Granted it didn’t make a difference in the Colts game but what about the closer scored games preceding it?

And then there is the Nevada angle.: we’re individuals in the gambling industry aware that the Patriots/Brady had an advantage when the bets were placed? We’re they paying the ball boy? Is Brady connected in anyway?

Is this the tip of a much larger iceberg? It is Boston

No locker room attendant would do this on his own. Somehow he knew what Brady wanted.

To follow up: IMHO, the best thing that can come of this for the Patriots is that the locker room or game-ball attendant says he did this because he knew from Brady’s public comments in the past that he likes a soft ball, and did it on his own to make Brady happy.

Everyone predicted this at least a week ago. mr Nobody is to blame. Poor coach and quarterback knew nothing.
