I think someone posted this in the OT thread after it first came out and didn't generate much discussion.

Of course, there weren't any talks about taking draft picks or banning Browns' players from the league when it came out like there is now. That's why reading the reactions in here is hilarious to me.

Eric Kester, who was a ball boy for the Chicago Bears in 2003, says he can't speculate about the controversy dubbed "Deflate-Gate," but he remembers how the preparation worked — starting with the delivery of factory-fresh balls a few days before a game.

"We would then work with the quarterbacks to customize the balls to their liking. This involved scrubbing them with stiff horsehair brushes to rub off the leather's slippery silicone sheen, and occasionally inflating or deflating the balls a very small amount, which I believe is legal to a degree. Quarterbacks are very particular about the way a ball feels in their hand, and we worked meticulously to match their particular preferences," Kester said.

Two hours before kickoff, he would bring the balls to the referees' locker room for inspection.

"I recall them having a pressure gauge in the locker room, but most often they just squeezed the balls, turned them over in their hands a few times each, and inspected the laces. I don't recall them ever rejecting one of our balls," he said.

"My thought process was, 'Let's get the balls exactly the way our quarterback wants them, and if the refs reject one or two before the game, no big deal. But there's no harm giving them our ideal balls and hoping they make it through inspection.'"


Maybe the ref's never actually checked the balls and are just trying to save face and say they did because that is what they are supposed to do and don't want to look like they screwed up. This guy was a ball boy 11 years ago, so take it from what its worth.

Nope. Not good enough. It's this type of mentality that allows them to continue their nonsense.

You think a hefty fine would stop them?? Seriously?!? Robert Kraft would laugh at that and keep it moving.

Think it's a understatement to say many have lost touch with the reality that their expectations far exceed any reasonable response from the league.
