Those 90 seconds? Reporter shows Brady’s balls can be deflated in 40

It can be done –in 40 seconds.

While most headlines were focusing Monday on the coming storm that, in a touch of irony, primarily slammed New England, some reporters kept their eyes on what really matters: Tom Brady’s deflated balls.

Eleven of the Pats’ 12 game footballs in the Jan. 18 AFC Championship game were under inflated by 2 pounds per square inch of air. New England defeated the Colts 45-7 to advance to this Sunday’s Super Bowl against the Seahawks.

Indeed, Fox Sports Jay Glazer reported this ballbuster: A New England Patriots ball boy took the 12 deflated balls in question into a bathroom for 90 seconds.

A Daily News reporter has shown 12 balls can easily be deflated in 90 seconds.

He took a bag of balls into a bathroom and did this:“Curious to see how long it would take to deflate one ball to Brady’s liking, I stuck in a pin, heard the tell-tale “Pssss” for 2.2 seconds and rechecked the pressure with a gauge. It was 11 pounds per square inch ….My personal DeflateGate took just 40 seconds. Add in a few bobbles and the time it took to get in and out of the bathroom stall, and the entire affair took me just 77 seconds — well under the 90-second deadline.”

Whoa.
