Instead of looking at it as Seattle getting screwed, we should look at it and acknowledge just how badly the Patriots got screwed. This arguably gives the Seahawks a much larger competitive advantage than a football being deflated to 12.0 psi instead of 12.5 (even if we grant the presumption that the Pats did something nefarious with the footballs). Moreover, it's the third time they've been nailed on this. Talk about defying the rules.
Yet the Pats were defying the rules in Spygate, their first time violating anything, and got whacked a million bucks and a first round draft pick. And then obviously in Deflategate, Brady's first time being accused of ANYTHING, and they get whacked four games for Brady, a million dollars, a first round pick, and a fourth round pick.
Meanwhile, Seattle, a third time offender for the SAME exact infraction, get just this light slap on the wrist?
