Full report: https://nfllabor.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/investigative-and-expert-reports-re-footballs-used-during-afc-championsh.pdf The big takeaway: quote:"It is more probable than not that the Patriots personnel participated in violations of the Playing Rules." And also that Brady most likely exchanged autographed memorabilia in exchange for having an equipment guy deflated balls for him. Also, also he refused to let the investigators look at his phone.

It was all that Tom Brady's fault, everyone knows that. If he had the ball inflated like he was supposed to, they would have won anyways. Tom Brady should die of gonorrhea and rot in hell. Would you like a cookie, son?

Any one acting like this is going to be hard to defend clearly doesn't know Patriots fans well enough. Not only am I delusional and capable of spinning anything in my head, I'm loving great at it.

Brady signed a jersey for the guy who was deflating the balls and he texted back and forth with the other equipment guy constantly oh my god I love this report

This is zooming up the trendlist on Twitter and about every 10th tweet is someone demanding the Patriots lose their Super Bowl win. Guys, if they're not gonna vacate a Super Bowl win for stealing signals, they're not gonna vacate a Super Bowl win for this poo poo. Brady would've won either way, I think he's just one of those guys who needs to have his 'edge' like it's a superstition.

After SpyGate the Pats went 16-0. After this they will go 16-0 and face gently caress the league again. Sorry guys.

I hate the Pats and this is funny, and I will roll around in the info like human catnip. But at the end of the day, this is "cheating" akin to using too much stickum or smacking an earhole, it's nothing that should hurt his legacy.

Pretty damning evidence for the seventh most evil team in the league. I expect a signed apology Lombardi delivered to Richard Sherman's doorstep.

Pats are DIIIIGGGGGIN IN:kraft posted:What is not highlighted in the text of the report is that three of the Colts’ four footballs measured by at least one official were under the required psi level. As far as we are aware, there is no comparable data available from any other game because, in the history of the NFL, psi levels of footballs have never been measured at halftime, in any climate. If they had been, based on what we now know, it is safe to assume that every cold-weather game was played with under inflated footballs. As compelling a case as the Wells Report may try to make, I am going to rely on the factual evidence of numerous scientists and engineers rather than inferences from circumstantial evidence. link sorry: http://www.patriots.com/news/2015/05/06/statement-new-england-patriots-chairman-and-ceo-robert-kraft-wells-report
