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?

"Oh, but if this whole science thing is true, then why weren't the Colts' balls under-inflated? They played in the same weather, right? EXPLAIN THAT," the haters shouted as a final resort.
This is actually the easiest part to understand; the Colts pumped up their balls more than the Patriots did. Naughton even argued that the pigskins Indianapolis supplied might have been inflated past the NFL's maximum PSI limit, but you won't see the NFL launching an investigation into that.
That would also apply to this case if the Patriots supplied footballs that were under-inflated and it was missed during the inspection. If the refs didn't do their job then no cheating occurred.
To me it was only cheating if the footballs were altered after they were inspected.
2) You haven't proven they deflated balls
3) Hernandez has not been convicted in a court of law by a jury of his peers.
You're really coming off as a butthurt Patriots-hater. You're making a whole lot of accusations with little fact to back anything up, except your blind prejudice towards the team.
It's obvious he doesn't care about logical discourse.
The balls being deflated and no other documented case of a NFL teams balls being deflated by weather proves it.
Isn't innocent to proven guilty? Why isn't Hernandez out on the street?
Lucky this isn't the NCAA or Craft would be fired for lack of institutional control.
Didn't Craft bring Floyd wife beater Maywether into his private box? Yeah those are real morals lol

There is no proof that the temperature effected the balls. But Brady is not helping himself with the word games and change of stances.

Lack of evidence is not proof, no matter how much you want it to be.
I'm not sure what your point is? Is he still a Patriot? Or was he released after he was indicted? And in any case, being arrested is not the same as being convicted.
Where are you bitching about the Ravens?
Yeah he was released after murdering as many as 3 people while on the patriots clock.
Did the Ravens just get caught cheating or was the the Patriots? That name is laughable now

Too bad we can't get people to care this much about real problems.
What there really is no proof of, much to your dismay, is that the Patriots tampered with balls.
There certainly is evidence; it's called the laws of thermodynamics, and one poster here even did the legwork to do the math and showed it's entirely probable that's what happened.

Again, at first everyone said there was no proof of spygate. There are still teams made because Godell and Craft are best friends and godell demanded all evidence destroyed.
Or rather, keep on. Because it makes you look super smart.
I already asked how many balls in similar conditions were checked mid-game to confirm your hypothesis? Are you familiar with the scientific method? Where are your controls? Where are the balls that were tested in similar conditions, in similar circumstances in other games that were tested?

Are you serious? Really?
I hope it was worth tainting a legacy. They are now Barry Bonds, who never tested negative for a legit test but is guilty in the public eye.
I bet you could even cook 5 minute grits there in less than 5 minutes!
