Does the Latest ‘Deflate-Gate’ News Mean Patriots Were Innocent All Along?

For most of the past two weeks, the New England Patriots - specifically quarterback Tom Brady - have faced questions about whether they used deliberately deflated footballs in the AFC title game win over Indianapolis. Stories of the Pats misdeeds led the NFL to launch an investigation that is still underway.

According nfl.com, the latest findings could clear the Patriots of any wrongdoing and, in fact, show how many stories over the past fortnight were completely wrong.

'Prior to the game, a game-day worker employed by the Patriots, a man described as elderly, took two bags of 12 footballs (one bag from each team) into the restroom near the referees' room in Gillette Stadium. The man was in the room for 98 seconds. When he exited the room, he took the balls to the field. There is video of the man entering and exiting the bathroom, but it's unclear if there is a clear shot inside the restroom.'

And there's more, which seems to deflate many of the Patriot haters:

'Eleven of the 12 footballs used in the first half were judged by the officials to be under the minimum of 12.5 PSI, but just one was two pounds under. Many of them were just a few ticks under the minimum.'
