So What Does Everyone Think About Deflate-Gate?

The title says it. What does everyone think about this bizarre "Deflate-Gate" deal that is far more interesting that this year's Super Bowl? Belichick reaffirmed that he knew nothing at all about the football preparation and denied having anything to do with it.
Tom Brady is supposed to be talking publicly very soon and may be admitting to arranging to have the footballs prepped to the way he likes them.
So, is this a big deal? Is this something that happens with pretty much every team and it has just become public?

and so it begins. now an "impartial staff" will handle the balls at the Super Bowl [go.com]. the impartial staff who just got walloped 45-7 in their own house this year by the team under scrutiny. I can see how this is going to so be impartial. this is Goodell Ray Ricing the situation all over again. under-handling the issue at hand not having all the facts and putting in a solution that is half-assed.
In the case at hand, if it turns out the balls were already under-inflated and it was missed during the inspection then I wouldn't fault anybody on the Patriots. I would like to hear directly from the individual who actually inspected the balls in the first place and see if they seem credible or not.
officialsballboys or whoever ( sorry )are in the clear even though its been said they took bribes before. Got it.edit to clarify it wasnt officials
I'll stick with my opinion that the teams should have more leeway in preparing the footballs the way their quarterback likes them, within reason. But if they are caught breaking current rules then there needs to be a consequence.

All in all, I don't think this particular offense is anything to go crazy over, but it's part of an overall pattern of cheating that has come out of this franchise, and I personally think at some point, there has to be penalties that exceed fines and draft picks. Take a win away and watch how they stop cheating.
This is the most boring, idiotic, waste-of-time scandal in the history of the world.

I just came in here because I was hungry, heard there were nuts in this thread.

Jackson said he doesn't handle the ball enough to know whether it was properly inflated or not.
''The deal about me saying that I noticed anything about it, that's totally false,'' he said.

It is funny to see all the Pats fans trying to make excuses. Its just another asterisk that Pats haters will have in their arsenal when downplaying NEs team.
Pats Fan: WE RULE!
H8r: Cant win without cheating
PF: Oh look a hatah
H8r: You cant even beat Eli
PF: Tom Brady, something about God, something about Chowdah, MATT DAMON
H8r: Belicheat, Spygate, Deflate-gate
