Patriots Post New Report Allegedly Debunking Wells Report's Claims

The never-ending saga that is Deflategate has taken another turn, with an update to the website previously established by Daniel L. Goldberg, who represented the New England Patriots during the NFL and Ted Wells' investigation into deflated footballs from the 2015 AFC Championship Game.

In the updated version of the Wells Report in Context website, Goldberg sought to debunk 15 myths discovered in Wells' original 243-page report (Warning: Report contains profanity) published last year.

One of the myths listed in the new report is the amount of time (nine minutes) NFL lawyers said it took to complete initial gauging of 11 footballs the Patriots used:

According to the NFL’s lawyers, just the gauging of the 11 Patriots footballs took up to 9 minutes: 2 to 4 minutes to start to gauge them and an added 4 to 5 minutes to complete the gauging.
