Deflate Gate: The Ongoing Saga

The NFL refuses to answer questions about the ongoing investigation BUT they keep on releasing weird bits of information about the incident.

Now, it seems, that a Kraft employee (not an employee of the Patriots, but a part-time guy paid for by the Kraft family) who only works on game days, tried to hand the officials an un-inspected kicking ball during the Colts' game. They said that is one of the reasons they decided to check all the balls at halftime.

I find it more interesting that the NFL keeps changing their story. I can see that they could FIND OUT more information as the investigation continues, but I don't see why THIS information wouldn't have come out IMMEDIATELY, if it truly is ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THEY FELT IT NECESSARY to re-check all the balls at halftime.

It's like they are trying to build the case AFTER the fact rather than as it happened.

To clarify:

They originally said they checked the balls during halftime because the Colts equipment guy noticed a ball that he handled during the game seemed a little under-inflated.

Then they said the reason they checked was because the Colts GM told them to watch for under-inflated balls BEFORE the game started.

Now they said they decided to check the balls because this guy tried to give them an unmarked (un-inspected) kicking ball.

If ALL of these things WERE the reasons, why weren't all of those reasons told us at the very beginning? You see, that information wouldn't have changed between then and now, AND it would have made the NFL look less stupid AND the Patriots look more guilty RIGHT AWAY. They would have had several good reasons for building a legitimate case against the Patriots.

Now it looks like they're trying to cover-up their own incompetence by changing the history of what really happened.

By adding these "facts" now THE NFL begins to look even more like the one's who have something to hide.

I have another question. If all game balls are to be identical, why does a league, that prides itself on keeping the game above reproach, have DIFFERENT BALLS for kick-offs and punts? Shouldn't ALL the balls in the actual game be INTERCHANGEABLE?

IF kicking a ball changes the balls so much that only special balls are allowed for that purpose, shouldn't the game be called footballs?

I said it before. And I'm going to keep saying it. The more the NFL investigates this, the less I will accept their findings.

They're just making all of this up as they go along, and by appearing thorough, they are just looking less and less credible as time goes on.
