Really the more we’re looking at the comments from other QBs the more this is a silly kerfuffle.

When you get caught, you get caught.

Belichick is like a spitball pitcher. If he were in baseball you could probably shake vaseline, a nail file, and some sandpaper out of his hoody.

Definitely, he got caught, should be punished according to the rules. But it’s interesting when you look at the rest of the league, apparently Peyton Manning lead the drive to let the players “customize” their balls within certain specs, Rodgers likes his overinflated and thinks there shouldn’t even be rules, Brad Johnson paid a guy to “customize” the balls at his SB. The spitball pitcher is a good analogy, apparently there are quite a few in the league and sometimes they get caught and sometimes they don’t. Also reminds me of illegally curved sticks in the NHL, most high end forwards tend to use them, and smart ones keep a legal stick on the bench they switch to if they think the opposing coach is going call for a measurement.

Aren't professional, highly competitive athletes ALWAYS looking for some kind of an edge on their opponent? Most take it right to the limit, but some go past that point.
