Still plenty of air in 'Deflategate' court case
About 2/3 of the way down the article they state the following:
The TEAM was not found guilty of intentionally underinflating footballs. The TEAM was cleared of any wrong doing by the Wells report. The Wells report said that McNally and Jastremski intentionally let air out of the balls after they had been checked by the Officials.
While Brady was found to be "at least generally aware", Goodell has since double and triple downed on this by saying that Brady was the mastermind behind the "scheme".

"A four-time Super Bowl champion and two-time league MVP, Brady was suspended four games. The Patriots were docked $1 million and two draft picks after an NFL investigation found the team guilty of intentionally underinflating footballs used in the 45-7 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Jan 18, 2015. Brady was found to be "at least generally aware" of the scheme."
