Former NFL referee explains protocol with game balls

Post by oldecapecod11 »

Here's an old story - January 24, 2015 - about a short interview with a recent NFL official.
It brings to light certain facts that seem to have been overlooked in some of the recent news flashes.
(Or, maybe these facts were just not seen at this desk?)
Enjoy...
Note: there is a link on the page to another story concerning the Patriots

Former NFL referee explains protocol with game balls
For that we turn to Jim Daopoulos, a Marlborough native who was an on-field NFL official from 1989-2000
and the NFL’s supervisor of officials from 2001-12.
Daopoulos’s summary of Deflategate after 23 years of NFL officiating experience?

"It was a different game when I played.
When a player made a good play, he didn't jump up and down.
Those kinds of plays were expected."
