That's exactly right. An NFL official approved the footballs before the game started. Thereafter, multiple NFL officials touched and handled the footballs BEFORE AND AFTER EVERY FU¢KING PLAY when they were supposedly underinflated. How in Heaven's name did the alleged underinflation go unnoticed by the officials during ALL THAT TIME, when they HANDLE EVERY FOOTBALL before and after every play? Only someone insane or with an agenda wouldn't question that. Like you, I think that this is totally a non-issue, but even if it were an issue, only the officials could possibly be to blame, because they alone are responsible for monitoring the condition of the footballs and ensuring regulation compliance. It is absolutely no different than the opposing team claiming that the offense was committing a holding penalty on every play, but it was never called, or the center was jerking the football before every snap, but it was never called, or the offense was playing with 12 men on the field and taking 40 seconds to snap the football every time, but it was never called. In all cases, calling any and all penalties rests with the officials. I find it impossible to believe that New England played the entire first half with underinflated footballs and the officials never noticed it or put a stop to it. Plus, how stupid would New England's coaches be to think that the officials wouldn't intervene if they tried to pull something like that? It would be like walking into a bank unmasked, handing your identification to the teller and the security guard, and then trying to rob the place. It's just stupid. Imagine a case of a team trying to purposefully hurt an opposing quarterback. Imagine them calling up a practice squad defensive noseguard and instructing him to jump offside on the very first play from scrimmage, untouched, and break the opposing quarterback's leg. It would immediately be obvious to everyone what happened, the same as underinflated footballs on every play would be obvious too. People are obviously extremely stupid to buy into this lunacy, but then again, look at who the dummies elected. As for the stupid media, they have an agenda. Reporters would never ask why the officials who were responsible for monitoring the footballs didn't recognize that they were underinflated, any more so than they would question Obama's birth certificate or place of birth. Again, they have a specific agenda.
