I apologize, I'm not from the Boston area and really have no idea how reliable Borges is, but reading this article gave me an uneasy feeling. Could someone please elaborate and expand on this please?

Borges has had a real hatred for the Pats since BB refused to allow Bledsoe, to return as QB after he had healed from his injury and then traded him to Buffalo.
It wasn't that BB did not believe Brady it was that BB did not know anything about the Ball prep as it had been given over to the QBs when the league had agreed they could prepare them as they desired. So BB had no knowledge with which he could defend Brady and had to let him defend himself. Also BB is old school i do not think he agreed with what the NFL allowed the QBs to do to prepare the balls. But i do not think he ever questioned TB12s veracity.
This Quote from the article :
"They know nothing's done with those balls that the quarterback doesn't want done."
This is the only quote that is based in fact and Brady has the balls prepared to his liking no where is it even intimated that he liked them at a PSI level that were non-regulation. And Wells went back yrs. talking to former backup QBs and such.
The PSI levels measured at half time showed 11 of the 12 balls when measured by the gauge used by the head ref. to set the balls pregame were within the levels expected when the ideal gas low governing PSI loss due to temp change is calculated. So the balls must have been inflated to 12.5 at the beginning of the game.
