Here's the deal with deflategate- now that the season is over, when the Pats are cleared of wrongdoing, it won't make the national/international news like the original scandal did (unless the Pats are shown do have done something wrong.) It's just like the Tomase nonsense with taping walkthroughs. People that hate this team will forever think it's true. There's no changing it. The media and the league feeds it, and does so intentionally. It will never change.
It is for this reason that I was seriously considering taking a season or more "off" as a fan. Stress of idiocy was supplanting my enjoyment of the team, and the truth is, it had been for years.
The end of deflategate has changed that for me, though. When I saw just how utterly devoid of intelligence the news media and majority of fans of other teams actually are, I realized I was taking offense to comments by people no smarter than a goldfish. Seriously. The joy all returned and now I'm buckled in for fandom in the 2nd half of my life. The other fans, the Breers, the Volins, Haleys, Montanas, Faulks, etc. can all go screw themselves. Don't waste your time on them.
GO PATS.
