发帖数: 2679 | 1 “Our office has been conducting an investigation as to whether the
footballs used in last Sunday’s AFC Championship Game complied with the
specifications that are set forth in the playing rules. The investigation
began based on information that suggested that the game balls used by the
New England Patriots were not properly inflated to levels required by the
playing rules, specifically Playing Rule 2, Section 1, which requires that
the ball be inflated to between 12.5 and 13.5 pounds per square inch. Prior
to the game, the game officials inspect the footballs to be used by each
team and confirm that this standard is satisfied, which was done before last
Sunday’s game.
“The investigation is being led jointly by NFL Executive Vice President
Jeff Pash and Ted Wells of the law firm of Paul Weiss. Mr. Wells and his
firm bring additional expertise and a valuable independent perspective. The
investigation began promptly on Sunday night. Over the past several days,
nearly 40 interviews have been conducted, including of Patriots personnel,
game officials, and third parties with relevant information and expertise.
We have obtained and are continuing to obtain additional information,
including video and other electronic information and physical evidence. We
have retained Renaissance Associates, an investigatory firm with
sophisticated forensic expertise to assist in reviewing electronic and video
information.
“The playing rules are intended to protect the fairness and integrity of
our games. We take seriously claims that those rules have been violated and
will fully investigate this matter without compromise or delay. The
investigation is ongoing, will be thorough and objective, and is being
pursued expeditiously. In the coming days, we expect to conduct numerous
additional interviews, examine video and other forensic evidence, as well as
relevant physical evidence. While the evidence thus far supports the
conclusion that footballs that were under-inflated were used by the Patriots
in the first half, the footballs were properly inflated for the second half
and confirmed at the conclusion of the game to have remained properly
inflated. The goals of the investigation will be to determine the
explanation for why footballs used in the game were not in compliance with
the playing rules and specifically whether any noncompliance was the result
of deliberate action. We have not made any judgments on these points and
will not do so until we have concluded our investigation and considered all
of the relevant evidence.
“Upon being advised of the investigation, the Patriots promptly pledged
their full cooperation and have made their personnel and other information
available to us upon request. Our investigation will seek information from
any and all relevant sources and we expect full cooperation from other clubs
as well. As we develop more information and are in a position to reach
conclusions, we will share them publicly.” |

其实就两个有用信息：
1. 赛前球是检查过了 都符合标准 （先把自己的责任摘除去）
2. 证据表明上半场pats的球确实under inflated |

本碰不到球了

能这些备用球已经在室外被冻过了。
