The article got pulled. It was kind of a satire piece, where he turned the tables on a couple of Indy writers by taking their quotes and turning them around on Indy, accusing them of deflating the ONE ball that was apparently 2 PSI under, which was of course the ball Indy had their hands on due to the interception.
The whole angle of the first half of the article was "If they will call for Bill to be fired without evidence, I will call for them to be fired without evidence."
The whole "the league has nothing" stems from the fact that Kraft hit the podium and demanded an apology from Goodell. The writer took that as an indicator that the league can't have much and, coupled with the fact that the ball pressures weren't actually ever tested (you knew that bit, right?), that no one had any info with which to create accusations, so they just came out of thin air to create talking points and distractions for two weeks, which was exactly what happened if in fact there isn;t any official record of ball pressures taken at any time.
So now it's looking like only one ball came under fire - the one that passed through Indy's hands and was THEN checked. Is there concrete evidence that this happened? Of course not, which was the writer's point in the first place.
