So the penalty is worse for a spitball or corked bat than it is for an improperly inflated football? That seems to say it's not even as serious as those two situations.

I still contend that this fuss is just sour grapes. Everybody should calm down, let the SuperBowl be played with the extra scrutiny it will have, and let the Patriot's performance in the game speak for itself.

I don’t have a dog in this fight...the league however has a huge problem...they were directly involved in the chain of custody that resulted in those footballs being used in the game...what the Patriots did undercuts the integrity of the league which is why it IS such a big deal...I expect the punishment to be severe...
