I have an entirely different take on the situation. According to the story, an NFL Official (who was supposedly already suspected for stealing balls) gave a ball to McNally (the locker room attendant) who gave it to another NFL Official (Yvette).
That story makes no sense. Why would the first official give McNally a ball KNOWING that it wasn't a ball meant for offensive play (the ball was clearly marked as a K ball)? Surely he knew it would be caught!?!
And it sounds like McNally wasn't even supposed to be handling the ball in the first place. He should have refused to even touch the ball. Not only that, he should have KNOWN the difference between a K ball and a ball that is meant for offensive play.
It's also funny that the NFL official hasn't been named. Everybody else in the chain of events was named. Who is this 'mysterious' NFL official? Does he even exist? It's a great story if you don't have to name names.
I think Goodell is trying to protect his buddy (yes, they are buddies), Kraft and this story was either made up, or the entire truth hasn't come out.
