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?

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.
Here it is:
Damned evil puppy murderers.
Everyone share this with as many people as possible.
Like if you want the Patriots kicked out of the NFL
Ignore if you hate puppies and worship the devil
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?
And no other player in the history of the NFL has ever hurt or killed someone while playing for a team. The teams do not have 24/7 control over each person they employ.
Well, your comment was about Craft bringing Maywether into a box... But I don't see you bitching about the Ravens literally defending Ray Rice and keeping him on their payroll. Must not be as big of a deal as some deflated balls.
Are you seriously claiming that there is no proof that the laws of thermodynamics took effect?
Are you serious? Really?
Again thermodynamics could have been in play but since there is no other documented case of this happening in the history of the NFL I can't just jump to that conclusion like you are.
Funny how Belicheat admitted Thursday how much he had looked into this the prior 3 days and had no idea about this. Then Boston .com post a similar article and then Belicheat copy and pastes the article and now patriots fans talk as if it is fact. Why throw Brady under the bus on Thursday then?
Lol Patriot homers

And again, I ask for your controls. When has this happened before for you to know that the outcomes were never the same?

My first thought when I heard about it was the temperature differences and ideal gas law. I'm sorry that you apparently feel the Patriots somehow deflating their balls perfectly without being noticed is more likely than them being filled inside and then taken outside.
But you sure can jump to the conclusions that the Patriots were cheating and somehow deflated 11/12 balls to right around the same level.

I'm a Patriots fan?

Since there has been no documented proof that it has effected NFL balls we can't jump to that conclusion.
The NFL doesn't want this. If it was just a simple answer like this it would have already have been cleared up. The NFL has hired digital video surveillance experts. Why? Why do this to your most prized team if there is such a simple fool proof answer?
Totally plausible.
It doesn't matter if you claim you accidentally cheated. If you break the rules you break the rules.
This is equal to a guy getting a supplement from GNC and then getting suspended because it had a banned substance that he didn't know about
Again the balls used in the game need to be between 12.5 and 13.5. If you get a competitive advantage on purpose or not it taints outcomes.
Like it or not Patriots broke the rules and its their responsibility and nobody else's to ensure that they are within the rules at all time.

Cry more, I bet it'll help bring the Colts to Super Bowl XLIX.
Not the Patriots? No scandal.
Belichick's stuff is just weak.
There was no specific rule against what they did so technically it wasn't cheating.
A rule was later put in place to prohibit something like this from happening again.
poor raiders fan. there, there.
