Now that the league has made an example of the patriots(again) there are going to be some interesting dynamics in the league this year.

1.) Aaron Rodgers, who loves to have overinflated balls, is going to have to play with balls within a legal limit. If i'm playing the packers I'm demanding that the balls get measure at every single halftime the packers play. If I'm the NFCN, I see what just happened to Brady and I start to think "wouldn't it be nice to get a 4 game headstart vs the packers this year?"

2.) Teams in Cold Climates, science shows that balls are going to deflate, so now you are going to have to go into the game with balls at the very top end of the limit, we saw balls being 1 psi below 12.5(due to weather and cold) so even if you put them at 13.5 if it gets cold and wet enough you are going to have balls below 12.5(again see the colts footballs being below 12.5) Since this is an integrity issue im sure the league will be keeping an eye on it.

3.)Other quarterbacks in general, any sort of manipulation before the game should be recorded so when the hang man comes you can prove everything you did is legal.

4.)The 32 teams, Have a videocamera on your footballs 24/7 leave nothing to doubt.
 
I'd bet there are more than a few teams wondering about the evidence that was destroyed at spygate and whether BB kept a copy for just in case.....you know....this happened
 
You know very well that if any team is found guilty of any of those things the very most they will get is a small fine.
Yep. Game balls and things things like stickum don't matter, unless the league is looking to grind its axe.

Imagine what the reaction of the NFL would've been if Ernie Adams sent texts to the sideline during the game, or something like that? We'd be looking at freaking lifetime bans.

If owners want to behave like modern day Neville Chamberlins then they will also suffer.
