    Deflategate could turn out to be bigger than the lance armstrong scandal.

    You know what was very telling to me? In the Belichick and Brady news conferences, I couldn't detect any anger. Not one bit.

    If it was me that was accused of something I didn't do, I'd be royally pissed!

    Usually, these guys are coached by a PR team before press conferences...what to say, what not to say, and all that. I'd bet they also told them to stay cool or something.

    How in the hell can the NFL justify the punishment levied against the Redskins and the Cowboys when they didn't even break a rule!!!
    I just thought I'd bring this up.

    NFL interviews 40 in DeflateGate, probe likely to continue through Super Bowl week
    nydailynews.com

    So Roger and his boys are going full tilt with interviews to get to the bottom of this. They've probably spoken to ball boys, janitors and call girls ....but no Tom Brady! Roger's turning this into a mockery. Super Bowl or no Super Bowl, this should be a no-joke situation to lessen another black eye for the NFL and the central person in this thing hasn't been interviewed? When Roger needs to show some leadership, nut it up and order Brady to be interviewed he puts out nothing but idiotic press releases about what a great job they're doing. What a joke! Roger's gotta go.

    they are just gonna bullshirt around and not do shirt about anything! they'll say they could not find any evidence and all that shirt! hopefully,in my lifetime,the nfl will come to see where there is smoke fire is not far behind. look at how many times the pats have been caught stretching or flat out breaking the rules.There has to be something to all that,does'nt it? i'll give it to belichik,he did a great acting job yesterday at his pc.

    I hate the Pats as much as the next non-Pats fan, but the outcry compared to what they did is way over the top. This is closer to excessive stick-em on the gloves of wide receivers than spygate.

    The Pats' previous history has made this an additive story. They're a marked organization because of that and their incredible success. The media also has that additional week prior to Super Bowl where they have to create content and this just gave them the ammo. Otherwise they'd be writing about what motor oil each player in the Super Bowl likes.

    it has gotten so big because they have been caught cheating in the past.if tampa bay,kansas city or jacksonville had been caught cheating,nobody would give a damn!

    Love what Richard Sherman just said about this at the probowl. It's funny but so true

    I got an alert from ESPN: "The NFL zeroes in on Patriots locker room attendant who took footballs to another area on way to the field"

    Apparently, that locker room attendant will take the fall. Kraft, Bellichick and Brady signed him to a 40-year $50k deal or something.
