It contains the following quote from Adam Schefter.
We keep hearing over and over, the Pats constantly push the envelope. Can someone tell me what, outside of spygate, the Patriots have done that pushes the envelope. The Ravens complained about substitutions, but the league came out and said it was perfectly legal. The ref even helped the Ravens by telling them who not to cover. I've also heard that the Pats play games with the clock. Not sure how that works but the Ref's are responsible for the clock, not the Pats. So if the league wants to put a stop to that they have the control to do that. So please, please tell me what exactly do they do that pushes the rules and makes it so much easier to believe they deflated balls (which were also under the control of the refs).
And, if the Patriots cheat to win, then why don't they win every year?

“[The fans] dislike them, I think, because of the success they’ve had, the way they’ve done it,” Scheffer (sic) said on WEEI. “At times they’ve straddled that line. They’ve pushed the envelope on certain things. I think they’ve done it because they’re smarter than everybody else, frankly. They’ve just figured out certain advantages that they know people are slow to react to.”
