League officials broke their silence on the Deflategate scandal yesterday, announcing that high-powered white-collar crime lawyer Ted Wells will join NFL Executive Vice President Jeff Pash on the investigation into whether the Pats knowingly used under-inflated footballs in the American Football Conference championship game.

Why does the league not take a look at the inflation specifications? Maybe they are too stringent. Maybe a couple of pounds pressure will not hurt the game.

Give the quarterbacks more leeway to use their preferences. Too big a deal is being made about two lbs of air pressure, IMO.

Not fair to Seattle to give all the press to the Pats.

(Oh...sure...and perhaps the football size is too "strigent" as well...Maybe a size smaller would not "hurt the game." Give not only the QBs more leeway, but the kickers, too...so that the Q's can add another dozen yards to their throwing prowess and the punters, too. And, hey, while we're at it...let's give Major League pitchers a lot more leeway as well. Stop tossing cut-up balls out of the game. Or, if a pitcher wants to use his son's T-ball rubber ball. Hey, why not? Just let them use their "preferences." "Too big a deal is being made" about a few inches of circumference or even the nature of the very skin of the ball).

There. That'll "fix it" for professional sports! Good recommends!
