As part of the fallout from Deflategate, the NFL has created new rules for ensuring that all footballs are properly inflated. But the league is taking its sweet old time about making sure the 32 teams’ equipment managers have the tools they need to do their jobs properly.
NFL head of officiating Dean Blandino sent an email to all of the league’s equipment managers today, apologizing for not getting them the air pressure gauges they need.
“I apologize for the delay in delivering the new gauges to each of you. Wilson has assured us that they will go out this week,” Blandino wrote in an email obtained by PFT.
