People who think he cheated will never be convinced otherwise, and the same for those that don't think he did.
There's really no point to arguing about it anymore than there is a point in arguing Bountygate.
If anything, this entire situation (as someone else pointed out) should really just stand in comparison to the fact that Ray Rice knocked his fiance out in the middle of an elevator and not only did the NFL **** up that investigation too, but also only gave him a 2 game suspension that was then increased to 4 and then eventually the "season" after the video went viral.
You know, that video that pretty much everyone except the NFL requested access to?
I have no reason to have faith in the powers that be in this league to make non-bias and truly fair ruling or decisions. And I don't blame any player that feels the same.

Was Brady cheating? I think everyone including Patriots fans would agree that he was. However, every fan of every team would be fooling themselves if they didnt think their team cheated. Its sport, EVERYONE cheats. If you aint cheating, you aint trying. The travesty of this whole thing was Brady getting 4 game suspension for deflating footballs when people are beating women, driving drunk and committing other crimes and only getting 1 or 2 games or a simple fine/smack on the wrist. I agree every team cheats to some level. My take on Brady, is when this thing first came to light. Brady should of flat out said he likes the balls at the league min. (12.5) and it's obvious he lied about not knowing the ball boys. Thats where he screwed up. My personal opinion is he told the ball boys to inflate the balls to 12.5, and with the gas law they were below the leagues min. I don't think he cheated. I think he got scared thinking people would judge him on what he said in the original presser (People were going to judge him either way). He skidded around the issues and it bit him in the ass. Thats where this whole cluster F began. I'm glad it's over for now, until we have to listen to this Chocolate Shark again in 2017.

There was stuff going on with the balls, there is stuff going on with the balls ON EVERY TEAM. Even the Patriots haters, well most should agree 4 games for this was insane and not fair. I mean even Berman was mocking Goodell today with putting independent in quotes, I mean he hired a guy, paid him, then didnt let the NFLPA question the guy who edited the Wells report AND then annointed himself as the neutral arbitrator. Still no proof Tom Brady did anything, and giving him FOUR games for infractions that called for warnings and fines, not to mention all the leaked info..... I mean, hate all you want but this was a masters class on what to do if you wanna be an incompetent commissioner. This isnt over by a long shot but for now, the RIGHT thing happened in court and I look forward to Brady ranging hell on the league this year. For all the haters

Goodell is also 0-5 when trying to hand down penalties being brought to court.
Def the guy I want leading my league

It's whatever at this point. Did anyone really think the suspension would stand? We all know the truth so it's ok. As a Jets fan i would rather play against Brady so when the jets win there is no excuse Regardless! The Jest would be playing Brady, since our 1st of 2 games isn't until wk 7. As far as the judgement went, the NFL filed in NY to get home field advantage. Berman who is suppose to be a unbiased individual vacated Bradys 4 game suspension. Maybe he's a Pats fan boy too, although I didn't do my homework and look where he was from and whatnot.... maybe I'm wrong...

What a beautiful pass from Tebow. And not a bit of sarcasm.
Last two minutes of a half. Ya'll know what time it is.

I'm hoping that my Seattle Seahawks can rebound from their heartbreaking loss to Tom Brady and the New England Patriots but they're gonna have their work cut out from them in the NFC West which includes a very tough Arizona Cardinals team.

Alright, no offense here, but I was just wondering. Why is your signature of the moment Malcolm Butler won the Super Bowl for the Pats?

The only other two times we have been undefeated in preseason, we have gone to the Super Bowl.
That was also roughly 47 to 50 years ago, respectively.
So...um.....yeah.
We'll see.

Cmon man...90% of Seahawks fans you see on message boards dont even know who Steve Largent is.

Tebow reportedly played well tonight.

Happy to see the suspension overturned. A suspension was ridiculous. Even more ridiculous is that the NFL lets teams handle the game balls before and during a game. I think he knew about it, but I also think their case was weak as hell, and that a suspension was well out of the scope of appropriate punishment.
I am very pleased with how most of the Falcons first team has looked in the pre-season, and how a few of the young players have developed. Beasley looks fantastic and Hageman looks to finally be playing well. Still worried about the offensive line. Really want to see Matthews become the dominant blocker he is capable of being.

That there was no proof and this was a giant witch hunt. Yes, yes we do know the truth. You are obviously blinded by your Brady love and that's ok, I remember my first crush too. Just don't let it consume too much of your time. Other than that they said stop feeding the trolls so this is my last reply about it. How can you accuse him of being blinded when your own quote states "We all know the truth" despite not a shred of real evidence. If there was real evidence, we wouldn't be having this conversation. If you're going to accuse others of being blinded, the least you could do is admit that you are no different about your team and feelings towards the Pats and Brady.

Matt Barkley to the Cards for a 7th rounder?
Gentlemen, I believe the clock has struck 11 in Philly.

Kill the Deflategate talk. It's been discussed here twice now (both brought up fairly and relevantly since it was a big deal) but its run its course and will end up leading just to even further arguing. Any more posts about it that are argumentive or only serve as bait will be reported and deleted. This is your only warning.

Well, I guess back to the second most talked about football related topic.
Tebow just might make a football team yet. And as a player, no less.
Riveting stuff.
Also, I don't believe a single Packers player got injured this week. So there's something.
Oh, and Michael Irvin still can't do math. FACT

I don't think coaches understand how Tebow works.
If you are down by say, two touchdowns, in the fourth quarter, put him in.
He somehow seems to figure it out from there.
Right, Steelers fans?
