"You see, here's the truth. The Patriots did not deflate game balls to help them win against the Colts. The Authority helped the Patriots win by deflating game balls against the Colts. Because the Patriots winning this game, and the Patriots winning the Super Bowl is what's Best for Business." "Andrew Luck, you're no elite superstar like Tom Brady. You're no where near the caliber that Tom Brady is when it comes to the NFL. You, Andrew Luck, are just another goat faced B-plus. You are like Daniel Bryan, Andrew. You think you can earn your way to the top, break through that glass ceiling, by hard work and perseverance. Well, Andrew, I'm here to tell you that that will never happen."

Because this is the Internet, where tweets are totally reliable and should be treated as such. I feel compelled to point out that A) it is not some random tweet but rather a new media report by a vetted and established sports journalist, and B) the NFL confirmed it, so it is not just a tweet taken as fact. I was being sarcastic, look at my post before this.

Well, it would have offered them an advantage because it made all runners less likely to fumble the ball, which would be a serious concern in a monsoon like they played in. If the Colts had a better run game, they would have benefited from that as much as the Patriots, but they don't have that. Again, the Patriots were the superior team, but it burns my ass that this team seems to cheat fairly often (spygate, recording the Rams practice, scrambled radio signals, and now deflated balls) when they don't really need to, pitch a fit over getting caught, and then still get to be called a classy organization by the media (particularly ESPN). If they are scummy and prone to cheating, call them on it. If they get away with it and win games, so be it. I could hate the Eagles because of how their fans act, but it is not as though anyone acts like Philly fans are anything other than what they are. The taping of the Rams practice didn't happen. There's been no proof that I can find that the New England team had any involvement with scrambled radio signals. And with the deflated ball deal, it just seems a kicking ball got mixed in with the regular balls. It seems like since it's the New England team, a team people like to hate, folks jump to conclusions.

And as for Spygate, coaches like Joe Gibbs and Jimmy Johnson have said they did basically the same thing

Kubiak and his zone run blocking scheme that'll save wear-and-tear on the QB to DEN.

My problem with SpyGate, DeflateGate and its ilk is this: all the Patriots haters are "guilty until proven innocent...lol...they're still guilty" and the Patriots fans are "innocent even if proven guilty". I've yet to meet a single person in the middle ground. The haters think Brady and Belichick assassinated JFK and the fans would think they were innocent even if presented with video evidence of them pulling the trigger.
As a Saints fan, I'm fully aware of the consequences of a team doing stupid bullshit and being caught. I know that other teams did the same thing but weren't caught. That still doesn't make it ok. I'll just be sitting here awaiting to see the leagues final word...until then they're innocent in my eyes.

Yeah, and there are several people in the New Orleans fanbase saying it wasn't as bad as it was made out to be.

I agree.....but they exist, saying New Orleans should not have been punished like they were punished. I just know, I have dealt with every time one of my favorite teams gets somewhere or wins a title, I've had to deal with people trying to take away that glory by either saying we cheated in some way or the team that lost beat themselves. So I sympathize with fans having to hear people try to take away New England's titles by saying they cheated to win them. Bottom line.....don't try take away a victory from fans of a team. Otherwise you are an asshole.
