Are signs pointing to a Colts/NFL conspiracy against the Pats?
Doesn't anyone find it odd that D'Qwell Jackson was reported as being the whistleblower, but yet now he denies ever telling the equipment manager that the ball he intercepted was deflated? He even went as far as to say he didn't notice anything wrong the ball (which is consistent with Brady and Blount saying they didn't notice anything different either.) Could it be perhaps that whoever snitched on the Pats switched or tampered the Patriots footballs?
Also, a report came out saying that the Colts had complained to the league after the Novermber game against the Pats that something might be wrong with the footballs, but yet the NFL never notified the Pats of the accusation, nor did they investigate until now. Now, Pagano denies this and says he didn't notice or hear anything about the balls being deflated.
So then, is someone trying to frame the Pats?
Also, there is a report that the Ravens could of possibly alerted the Colts about the balls being deflated. Yet, for whatever reason, they didn't speak up about it after the loss against the Patriots. Harbaugh denied this as well, and said there was never any issue with the balls as far as he knew. Weird huh?

So, I am certainly not saying that something didn't occur. All I am saying is that what is troublesome to me is the report stated D'Qwell Jackson alerted his coach to the fact that the ball seemed "soft". Now he is saying he never said such a think. John Harbaugh said the balls were never an issue for that game and now there are reports that the Ravens are saying there was.
If the Patriots did something then they deserve to pay a consequence, but if they did nothing then they are still paying the consequence. Whether they are hiding something or are clean they are guilty in the court of public opinion and there is nothing that can change that now. And that would be a shame if indeed they do have nothing to hide.

Ball boy and equipment personal from around the league have also come forward stating that they wouldn't have the opportunity to screw with the ball from the time the officials release them, to game time. This is actually looking more and more like the officials didn't stick a gage in them.

They denied those accusations because they didn't want to make excuses for the losses.
Let the facts come out then will talk but I still believe they deflated the balls to give themselves and advantage.
Deflated balls can give better field positions ,better grip and makes it easier to catch.
