In the year of Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson and Greg Hardy, they've somehow managed to trump serious cases of domestic abuse by blowing a silly, inane, moronic controversy over the inflation of game balls into a national story that gets more sublime and ridiculous by the day.
The league didn't take their time and do due diligence on what really mattered in the Ray Rice case, and delivered a hasty judgment that Commissioner Roger Goodell admitted was ill-conceived.
Now, they're taking their sweet time to decide who may have taken too much air out of the balls, a violation that is punishable by a minimum $25,000 fine. This is no more serious than hockey players playing with an illegal stick or, as we saw in 1983 with George Brett, hitting with a doctored, pine-tarred bat.
Talk about having your priorities all screwed up.

Keep dreaming, the cheaters will get their just desserts today. Let’s see if they can hold on to regulation footballs for a change. We already know that having to play defense like everyone else, you know, without the benefits of cheating and recording the other teams has already prevented them from winning any Super Bowls for a decade...
My point all along is that there were NO FACTS to support all the allegations.
The Seahawks should have won. Give the ball to Lynch, a former Buffalo Bill.
And I hate the Patriots and the Dolphins
I will wait to see what the NFL says. They have yet to acknowledge this info.
What do you have to say now? Schaudenfreude!!! I love it!
CHEATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still think the penalty is way too severe.
