Just wanted to comment on this because it's absolutely hilarious to me. The Patriots organization is acting like a child with this shit. Do they really expect anyone to believe this stuff? It just makes them look like even bigger idiots and babies. If the dumbasses would have admitted from the start that they deflated the balls slightly and just owned up to their shit the punishment wouldn't have been nearly as severe.
Instead they have been pounding their chests. Claiming that the league is going to apologize to them. Making up ridiculous stuff to cover up what they did and now the league brought the hammer down. This is how you prevent teams from cheating. You punish them severely so they don't do it again.
