Tom, I am behind you all the way, buddy.  Do not under any circumstances confess to anything.  Here are the reasons why.

If you have ever owned a Nissan Murano you know that every time there is a 5 degree fluctuation in temperature the tire air pressure light goes on.  One or more of the tires will have lost air pressure due to change in outside temperature (cold weather phenom). Tell me that a company as big as Nissan isn’t more qualified to work with air pressure than a football ref with an AutoZone tire pressure gauge.  Did he check Andrew’s ball’s PSI or just yours?  If both, then did he use the same aforementioned tire gauge on both sets of balls.  Did he lick the needle before insertion into each ball( question of cold air on spit) or did he just initially lick it and use it on all balls or did he check more than one ball between licks.  I can definitely see some problems here.  When the balls were checked initially were they in an indoor facility?  When they were subsequently checked had they been outside in the cold weather for any length of time?  Possibly 2 quarters of a football game.

Now I can see where you might have insisted on the equipment guys keeping your game balls at the low end of the spectrum.  No problem, no foul.  Who in the wide world of professional sports could hold you responsible for the weather lowering the PSI during the game.  What were you to  do? Sit on them like a hen hatching her eggs.

Do not let them look at your Iphone.  They are only trying to find some selfies of you and your gorgeous wife.  Do not give them that pleasure.  They need to buy the magazines just like the rest of us guys.  By the way, Buddy, Congratulation on scoring that little draft choice.

As far as the asterisk is concerned, well with your millions, your record, your apparent life then I would go down and have an asterisk tattooed on my forehead.  Wear a toboggan when you out fancy, actually you do that anyway, and when going casual, then just flaunt it.  No one looking at your record is going to take the time to look up what an asterisk means.

Dont be too concerned about what you read in the papers.  They have to sell those things.  Lowering air pressure in your balls is a minor thing.  If they lined up all the guys in the NFL who have done something shady you would be so far down the line that no one could find you with a telescope.  Keep chunking those passes downfield.  Keep that gal of yours happy cause you wont ever get another one that good looking.

Chuy the fan
