If Brady's ball attendant had been in the bathroom for any longer than 90 seconds, what are the odds the cheats actually turn over the video?

Doesn't the NFL already have that video?

What they really need to check is video from previous games to see if the attendant has to suddenly take a leak right after he picks up the footballs to transport them.

Of course, Goodell won't do that.

Ya, they do have that video. If the Bradys balls boy was in the shitter for 5 mins though, doubt the investigators get their hands on that video. It would have immediately went to Kraft Jr's destroy evidence pile.

NFL didn’t log the PSI of each Patriots football

What was the precise PSI of each of the 12 footballs the Patriots’ offense used in the AFC Championship Game? We’ll probably never know.

NFL head of officiating Dean Blandino confirmed today that the NFL didn’t log the exact PSI of each football. According to Blandino, when officials inspect footballs to see if they’re properly inflated, they simply approve them or disapprove them.

In other words, although the Patriots did play with under-inflated footballs, the NFL hasn’t kept detailed records of whether those footballs were slightly under-inflated (which could be the result of a change in temperature) or significantly under-inflated (which would indicate that someone purposely let air out of the footballs).

The NFL will apply a low standard of proof to the Deflategate investigation, which means that the NFL doesn’t necessarily need an air-tight case to conclude that the Patriots broke the rules. But anyone who wants the NFL to get to the bottom of this should want the NFL to be as careful as it possibly can to preserve every piece of evidence it possibly can. And a detailed log of the inflation levels of each football is a piece of evidence the NFL should have.

Translation: Goodell had the logs destroyed per request of the Asst. Commish.

Browns' fans might have just seen Jordan Cameron's last year in Cleveland. According to the latest rumors, the promising tight end will head into free agency this year and will most likely sign with another team.

Tony Grossi, a Browns analyst for ESPNCleveland.com, and ESPN 850 WKNR and 1540 KNR2, tweeted that Cameron will sign elsewhere.

Yardbarker and NFL Draft Diamonds reported that the Browns offered Cameron a $6 to 7 million-per-year deal, which he turned down in order to test the free agent market.

Andrea Hanst with Bleacher Report added that replacing Cameron will be difficult, writing, "It's not so much that the Browns [would lose] Cameron specifically once free agency begins, but rather that they [would lose] a starter at a skill position. Replacing him becomes another daunting task on an ever-lengthening list of them."

Cameron, the Browns' fourth round draft pick in 2011, had a breakout year in 2013. He caught 80 passes for 917 yards and seven touchdowns. His numbers this year declined due to a concussion and shoulder injury, which forced Cameron to sit out 10 games. However, he still managed to catch 24 passed for 424 yards and two touchdowns.

The Cameron rumors came at a hard time for the fans and organization which recently found out that Josh Gordon will be suspended all of next year for failing a drug test. The wide receiver has had issues complying with the league's substance abuse policy.

Ain't Goodel great for the shield?

i knew that was coming. The balls were underinflated when they were approved by the official. It's the official's negligence, not Belicheat's cheating, which is to blame here.

These Patriots apologists are trying to build a burden of proof higher than what is actually required by the NFL.
