Things are gonna change, people. Things are finally going to change.

Deny all involvement?

He already told teammates he had some involvement and addressed them. It wasn't BB as people would like to believe. If anyone it was Brady and his preference just like every QB has a preference on the ball.

If the refs are covering their own asses, then they have no evidence that the Pats did anything.

Unless Brady comes out and says he did it...NFL won't have enough evidence to do anything

And i am 100% fine with being the villain. Less bangwagon fans.

So it's a fair game then? Don't want to hear that one team cheated harder to win.

So if Brady didn't do it, and Belichick didn't do it....and the league hasn't presented any evidence linking them to it.....Are the Pats still cheaters?

[Tony208]

Patriots DB's should be able to make Seahawks receivers invisible. LOB might be able to do the same to the Pats. Running game decides it?

NFL has 0 evidence...then haven't even talked to brady about the issue? REALLY NFL?

NFL just wants to drag this on..how have you not talked to the QB about it yet? What a joke

[kryptonite1970]

Teams don't want to lose because wining a championship is a marketing success for them and it only means, more money and it's good for business. Controversies such as these can also be a marketing ploy to improve their brand.

The proof is in the pudding considering they have a prior history with breaking the rule book. I choose to not be naive and believe in unicorns...

Yeah because the deflated balls led to the Pats scoring 28 points in the 2nd half to the 0 Indy scored...
