Just as I thought.

I've reviewed the Wikipedia article on this scandal, and I'm confident in the commissioner's ruling.

I also find it very telling that it was Peyton Manning and Tom Brady who initially lobbied the NFL to change its rules to allow each team to provide its own balls, instead of the home team. They "argued for the rules change for the express purpose of letting quarterbacks use footballs that suited them."

The article also covers the text messages issue:

The report concludes it was "more probable than not" that the two deliberately released air from Patriots game balls after they were tested by game officials. In several texts between Jastremski and McNally, the two mention and joke about inflation, deflation, needles, and gifts from Tom Brady to McNally. Tom Brady was a constant reference point in these discussions. McNally referred to himself as "the deflator" in a text message to Jastremski as far back as May 2014
OK, admitted Pats fan, I think I've heard and read all I need to hear and read about deflate-gate.

I hope Tom Brady enjoys his richly deserved 4-game suspension. I certainly will...

“The report concludes it was “more probable than not””

More probable than not means nothing. It is just innuendo. They don’t have any evidence. It is just speculation.

I get it. You are still upset about the Snow Plow Incident.

There is no sense continuing.
