1) A report this week indicates that the league covered up the PSI numbers during the infamous Deflategate saga, which anyone who followed that fiasco shouldn’t be surprised by.
According to ProFootballTalk.com’s Mike Florio, the numbers obtained by the league in 2015 apparently returned numbers similar to what happened on that fateful night when the Patriots faced the Colts, which led to the initial report from ESPN’s Chris Mortenson about 11 of the Patriots’ 12 footballs in that game each being underinflated by at least 2 pounds each. While his report ended up being inaccurate, it didn’t change the fact that the wheels were set in motion for one of the most ridiculous episodes in league history.
