NEW YORK (AP) — An NFL investigation has found that New England Patriots employees likely deflated footballs and that quarterback Tom Brady was "at least generally aware" of the rules violations.

Like forfeiting the Super Bowl to my beloved, but embarrassing Seahawks?
Ping.
They played worse with the deflated balls. I’d consider sabotage.
Sure, blame it on the peon. Maybe he can use Bill Clinton’s latest excuse: “I Just Work Here. I Don’t Know.”
If there is a probability they did, then there is a probability they didn’t.
There is an even greater probability that the NFL official did not do his job. After all, he marked them without recording the air pressure, which is not usual practice. There is no way an NFL investigation would blame the NFL.
OW, that must’ve hurt...oh, uh, NEVERMIND!
Bohner and McConnell both have permanently deflated balls and non-existant spines...
Look, Brady knew his balls were soft the first time he squeezed them. And I betcha the center knew his balls were soft too the first time he squeezed them.
The problem here is that these people are all dishonest for not admitting that their balls were soft after they squeezed them and realized they were soft right from the start. I wonder how many others new his balls were soft?
The other thing is the kicker wants his balls to be as hard as possible, because it’s difficult to kick with soft balls especially in colder weather. So, the kicker probably didn’t kick with the same balls Brady had, his were harder.
45-7, Super Balls couldn’t have have changed the outcome of that game.
Kicking Balls are specially made and are always in the possession of game officials. At no time do the teams or kickers/punters touch them prior to the snap. These balls are rotated in and out of the game so they are all used evenly. per Wilson.
Cheat!
Cheat!
Cheat!
Saying probably actually means they dont know. But Brady didnt go to the white house so expect this to be made a bigger deal than it is.
Wait, the New England Patriots got to Boehner?
