A Collection of Useful Links for Patriot fans Involving Deflate-gate

I am posting this here because I'm choosing not to spam the main forum with yet another Deflate-Gate thread. Once (and if) I'm happy with how much useful information the Thread contains, I might ask the Mods if they feel this Thread is worth posting on an appropriate page.

But for now I'm organizing everything here.
