NFL investigator tells everyone to reserve their judgements about Deflategate
Attorney Ted Wells is investigating “Deflategate” and he sent out a press release telling everyone to reserve their judgment until the investigation is complete.
Greg Rosenthal of “Around the NFL” quoted Wells as saying, “I expect the investigation to take at least several more weeks. In the interim, it would be best if everyone involved or potentially involved in this matter avoids public comment concerning the matter until the investigation is concluded.”
Wells comments were released a couple of hours after Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer reported that the NFL had spoken to a “person of interest” during the investigation.
According to Glazer, there is a video of the individual moving the footballs from one locker room to another before taking the balls out onto the field.
New England Patriots’ Coach Bill Belichick and Quarterback Tom Brady have denied any wrongdoing.
And the team’s owner, Robert Kraft, said that he wants an apology from the NFL if the investigation clears the Patriots of any wrongdoing.
The New England Patriots found themselves in the midst of the “Deflategate” storm after questions were raised about whether Brady had the pressure lowered in the footballs so that he could have a better grip on the ball whenever he throws it.
Former Dallas Cowboys Quarterback Troy Aikman said on the Dallas Sports Radio show “The Ticket” that he does not believe Brady.
USA Today quoted Aikman as saying, “It’s obvious that Tom Brady had something to do with this…so for the balls to be deflated, that doesn’t happen unless the quarterback wants that to happen. I can assure you of that.”
Aikman’s comments did not go over too well with actor Kevin Costner who suggested that Aikman should reserve judgment before he accuses a person of “lying.”
However, former Carolina Panthers General Manager (GM) Marty Hurney told ESPN that the Patriot’s past scandal, “Spygate,” is enough for him to believe there is something amidst.
ESPN quoted Hurney as saying, “This is about a culture. Is there a culture of cheating at probably what most people look at as the best franchise in the National Football League…I can’t prove any of this. But where there’s smoke, a lot of times there’s fire.”
