And he isn't. Which it could mean he believes he can get away with it. Sometimes he's wrong though. He got caught last time. But as I said, sometimes he might just be getting targeted. He believes teams do certain things, and the NFL allows them to get away with them, and sometimes he gets targeted.
They will both be in the HOF. Deflating balls isn't worse than Spygate. The people who vote on that know all about the behind the scene cheating that goes on in the NFL. They know about bounties. They know about steroids. They know about all of these issues, that are accepted in NFL lockerooms, that are not accepted in public perception. You don't know if BB believes something like this puts a HOF entry at jeopardy. And I think coaches know what does and what doesn't better than you or I.
I worked in 3 different car dealerships. What goes on in the F&I offices of dealerships is far worse than deflated balls. You are threatened by FBI probes and actual jail time. Yet it's done all the ****ing time, despite real punishment, for a lot less money, for a lot less glory. And the public still buys cars.
