Fate of "Deflator" and "Dorito Dink" Still In NFL's Hands

Like many other facts surrounding the Deflategate fiasco, the fate of two Patriots staffers, John Jastremski and Jim McNally, is surrounded by a mist of NFL misdirection and lies. Jim McNally, the man who called himself "Deflator" in a single text message 5 months before last season began, was accused of sneaking into a bathroom on the way to the field and removing approximately 0.2 PSI from 12 footballs before the AFCCG with the Colts. John Jastremski, who was called "Dorito Dink" in a text, was accused of conspiring with McNally and providing him with a needle necessary to do his dastardly deed.
