For a professional reporter to ask a question that has already been asked is a little off in my book ( can't he think of his own questions). Why would he expect him to answer a question about something that is still in the courts why on earth would he think that was OK ? The whole thing smells of an arrogant reporter being pissed because he was dealing with someone that said no to him. I watched football back in the seventies and they used the huddle back then because of lip readers. I wonder if that is the Patriots doing also. Now for the earlier post. “He always asked for the footballs way, way before he was supposed to get them,’’ Baltz said. “If he could get them 10 or 15 minutes before he was supposed to get them, instead of the usual two minutes before the game — and there were some crews that let him do that — he would do it. I wouldn’t let him take them early, and I think he eventually figured that out because he stopped asking after a while. I probably did 10 to 15 games up there [in Foxboro] and those first few times, he’d always ask. I always thought it was very suspicious. He certainly acted in a suspicious manner.’’ So the officials are not even going by the rules of the game, now you know why they miss so many calls even with a replay. If you keep looking at every team that wins there is something going on.
