Good grief... The ballboy’s nickname was “The Deflator”.
Good grief... The ballboy’s nickname was “The Deflator”.
Good grief, the ball boy, in May during the offseason, and in a context clearly having nothing to do with football, referred to himself a single time as The Deflator”. No one else is known to have referred to him as such, nor he more than the one time.
Months later, there is substantial evidence that there was no such scheme as the refs successfully pumped balls up to nearly 16 PSI for a Jets game at Foxborough.
At this point, the physics has been worked out to the extent that even if Brady claimed he deflated the footballs, he’d have a hard time proving it even plausible.
There’s some more physics than here, but this is a good summary of just how stupid the NFLs claims are:
