Kicking balls are completely different & used new out of the box
So that complaint is complete crap.
Very disappointing that they did this though. No excuses. I made no excuses for spygate either.
It is unfortunate that people just don't know what spygate was & was not. I heard Mike Golic say this morning that they taped a team's practice, which 100% DID NOT HAPPEN, was disproven, and RETRACTED. The taped hand signals in games, using a sideline camera.
You can legally prep a game ball with rosin, sandpaper, wire brushes, whatever. But somebody ought to know the rules on inflation, assuming the balls were ever checked pregame by the refs.
Again, no excuses. They deserve the full $25,000 fine.
