It is the best position to take for the league for bb, for Brady. This isn't going away tomorrow though. That interview was classic though. He said he "has a process he goes through to pick the balls" then he says he didn't notice any difference in the game.
Brunell says he always wanted his balls at 13 psi. He squeezed them thoroughly to make sure they are exactly how he wants. He did this on Saturday and on Sunday. There is no way Brady did not know
The league is investigating and has been up in New England this week...http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2015/01/20/vincent/38YWpilDkAJXiQVqXReDuK/story.html The NFL will have to eventually come out and make a statement. Since Troy Vincent said they want it wrapped up asap, I'm sure the league will make a formal statement in the next day or two. Either that or they'll stall until after the big game because I agree that it hurts business for everyone.
Jerome Bettis makes an awesome point! The equipment manager does things at exactly the way you like it. If you like it at 12.5, why would they bring you something else? They just wouldn't do that. And how do you know if you like the ball at 12.5 if you don't even know what it feels like? Lmfao
If the league was aware of this. And were warned by both the Ravens and Colts about this. Then why didn't the NFL before the game warn NEP about doing it. Or take the balls away from both teams for before and out of possession of either team. And still weight the balls at half time and after the game. So at least for this important game both teams would be on an even playing field. And then after the season discipline New England.

Funny, over on Patsfans.com they are declaring victory and predicting this will all blow over by tomorrow.. Is there an Atlanta Falcons board or something? I want to read someone's objective opinion about all this.
Top Ten Pats Fan Excuses for Deflategate: (10) The balls deflated by themselves (9) The NFL is out to get us (8) Woody tampered with Revi$ (7) The refs are covering their asses (6) We would've won anyway (5) Other NFL QBs say it's no advantage (4) Everyone else cheats (3) The media is out to get us (2) Something about tampons [See Stokes' thread about who is most pissed off about this] (1) Nobody says they have any knowledge of anything - Good enough for me - Case dismissed!
I don't think this is a big issue at all but watching that PC I thought Brady came off very poorly and was lying.
I agree with you completely, but you are usually wrong about everything, so this is obviously not correct, thus there is nothing to see here.
