Did the NFL actually ever say how many balls were under inflated. My impression was that it was an ESPN report (from a leaked source). If the NFL never officially released that information, why would they correct the report?
I hate Goodell as much as the next person, but if what I stated above is correct, then that is all that he needs to say. Now, it would be interesting if the judge asked him if he was aware that the NFL leaked that story to ESPN. That would open up a whole new can of worms and it would become very interesting. If that were to happen, then I could see Goodell getting fired as the NFL would need a scapegoat.
