Mike Kensil reportedly told Patriots ‘you’re in big f—ing trouble’ at halftime

The New England Patriots and owner Robert Kraft are reportedly furious over what they consider to be key details that were omitted from the Deflategate report.

NFL vice president of game operations Mike Kensil was very involved with the Deflategate investigation from the start. He was present during the AFC Championship Game between the Patriots and Indianapolis Colts, and he was one of the people who received an email from Colts GM Ryan Grigson before the game informing him about the Patriots’ alleged tampering with game balls.

Shortly after the Deflategate scandal erupted, a report indicated that Kensil — who worked for the New York Jets for 20 years until 2006 — was the driving force behind the investigation.
