After last year's Deflategate controversy, the NFL announced it would collect PSI (pounds per square inch) data from random games throughout the season in an effort to better police what happens with footballs used on game day.
Did they release that data after the season ended? Of course not. Are they now maintaining that the "spot checks" were not even about PSI at all? Of course they are.
“We focus on procedure, balls being brought to the stadium,” NFL executive vice president Troy Vincent said on a conference call on Thursday, per The Boston Globe.
