Re: All things off season 2015.
I want to chime in on the Deflategate thing. Big picture perspective first, I don't think the footballs being deflated 1/2 lb or 1 lb of pressure or whatever they were had much of an affect if any on the game the Patriots played against the Colts, cause it was a blowout and they could have played with a Nerf football and it wouldn't have mattered. The issue it raises with me is how many other times, the balls may have been under inflated in the past in a cold/wet game when the game was close. Turnovers are a big deal in win/loses and a soft football helps keep that from happening. So there is a question in my mind of the past more than that specific game. Second, I don't think there is anything on my cell phone I am ashamed of, so turning mine over as "evidence" would be OK with me to keep from losing 4 games and millions of dollars. The fact that Brady destroyed his is an admission of guilt to me, much like using fake pee for a urine drug test. I sure that really rubbed Goodell the wrong way and why he stuck to his guns.
Tom Brady is a great QB, but this manipulating the rules by him and the Patriots or otherwise trying to get an advantage is just getting old.
