I guess I should have made myself clearer: if they felt they needed to see how the media and public at large would react to leaked news indicating the Patriots had played fast and loose with the rules, then they must have been living under a rock since September of 2007.This is a legit concern because initially the talking heads over spygate were talking about loss of a 3rd or 4th, as what happened to the Broncos. When everything amped up, that's when the NFL came down hard.
What remains interesting is that NFL.com has still yet to report on this new report.
I feel like if this were to be all on the Patriots for deliberately doing this, they would allow the reports to at least be posted. I feel like the fact that nothing has been posted might mean it is more of a potential league issue than anything. But who knows..
We're the Patriots. We apparently deliberately cheated before. So we must be cheaters again.For the life of me i cannot figure out why the brad johnson superbowl bribe story is not bigger than this. This is insane
Kind of OT, but I had no idea about this.

Can you imagine any team doing such a thing in 2014? They should get murdered by the media much worse than with this ridiculous DeflateGate.
It would be GateGate.
Is this gonna bring those "BRADY IS DONE, START JIMMY G" people who left the board after the Cincy game back out of the woodwork ,
You can be sure that as the accusers, even if the Colts were deflating their balls, they sure as hell would've had them pumped back up at halftime when re-measured. Could be Luck likes them bursting like Rodgers does.
It sounds like this is common practice and the Pats are going to taken to the woodshed for being ratted out on it. Sound familiar?

Because when push came to shove in front of the Commissioner, Walsh claimed he never said such a tape existed. And I believe that's true.As I've said before, I call it "Walsh's paradox": if such a tape actually existed, why didn't it come to light?
The NFL is really in a no win situation here. I honestly believe they're better off saying there was no foul play, or else this will really get ugly.
If they come out and say the Patriots are guilty, there's going to be an unprecedented uproar of anger, bigger than the Ray Rice fiasco, which is too absurd to even think about. Articles, reporters condemning the NFL, demanding the Pats be removed, disqualified, etc., etc., etc, which we know will not happen whatsoever.
But if they come out and say there was nothing tricky going on, some people will still cry wolf, haters will still hate, but you cool off the situation and defuse it big time, meanwhile, you gain a record amount of interested viewers hoping to see the Pats lose and get the story back on what's most important: the Super Bowl.
This doesn't look good, but I can't see how the NFL can win if they don't side with the Pats.
Or that he put pine tar under his towel.
What's come from this is Brad Johnson was a shady guy.
