From the article:

The NFL is upping the stakes in its probe of the New England Patriots and unleashing one of the country’s top lawyers and a high-powered investigative firm to uncover the truth behind a scandal that has cast a dark cloud over the team as they prepare for the Super Bowl. 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. “He is one of the premier lawyers in the United States, he has great credibility, he’s well-known in the field and his reputation is stellar,” said Larry Krantz of the New York law firm Krantz & Berman when asked about Wells. “He’s a very serious lawyer, his integrity is beyond reproach and this is certainly an indication that (the NFL) is taking the investigation very seriously.”

Hard to imagine the refs will give the Pats an even break in XLIX.

Brady, being a vet quarterback, would have known the ball was a little bit on the squishy side just by it’s feel. I am not buying the I’m innocent BS.

This whole thing is stupid. The Pats cheated and even your dog knows it. They should have their last victory vacated and send the Colts to the Superbowl.

The way things are running now, what kind of message does that send to kids? “Cheat and you’ll be OK, even when caught”? That’s appalling.

It’s been known for years that the Pats have been cheating and nothing has happened to them. What a joke.

This is getting stupid. The NFL is looking like morons. The referees can’t tell if a ball is properly inflated? Glad NASCAR racing is just around the corner.

So with properly inflated balls would the score have been 72-7?

I'm not sure which is more inane, the story itself or the people that take it seriously.

Here's the real culprit behind New England's deflated footballs...

The serious question here is: HOW MANY BILLING HOURS will this firm rack up on the NFL before we hear more of something about nothing.

The over/under is 150 hours at $1500 per hour. /s
