Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk and NBCSports discussed today the latest Deflategate news and Chris Mortensen’s defense of his inaccurate report.
In the wake of Mortensen’s now-deleted tweet stating that 11 of 12 Patriots footballs were 2 PSI below the allowable level, the NFL made no effort to correct the false report with the correct numbers. Florio suspects that some members of the league office deliberately allowed Mortensen’s report to remain uncorrected.
“When you consider what was going on with the false numbers that were out there and there wasn’t any effort, any desire, any inclination to get the truth out there, I think at some level, one or two people in the middle of this thing realized, ‘This is the best way to keep the Patriots off balance. This is the best way to keep them guessing, this is the best way not to investigate but to prosecute the Patriots,’ ” Florio said. “And that’s what this ultimately was. This wasn’t an investigation, it was a prosecution.”
Florio said that during NBC’s five-hour pregame show on Super Bowl Sunday, he contacted people within the league and tried to learn the correct pressure readings from the AFC championship game.
“I contacted multiple high-level people in the league during that show begging them to tell me the real numbers,” Florio said. “I was begging multiple league sources, ‘Give me the real numbers. Why not tell me the real numbers? We’ve got a five-hour platform, the audience keeps getting bigger and bigger as we get closer to kickoff, why not get the real numbers out there today?’ And no one would give me the real numbers. Now, what does that tell you?”
Cinque ore. Ha chiesto una risposta per cinque ore.
La NFL non ha mostrato nulla. Non ha provato nulla. Non ha dimostrato nulla.
Oggi - dopo 222 giorni - stiamo ancora attendendo.
