    Not sure if you folks want to include this in the original Brady deflated football thread, but playoff games are not the only games in question

    … look at page 91 in a game vs Packers…. deflating footballs seems to be part of the “Patriot Way” btw, JKT = Just Kill the Clock

    A few thoughts.

    The NFL’s policy has a standard of proof as the preponderance of evidence. So, when people criticize the report of just finding a preponderance of evidence that Brady was guilty, well, yeah, that’s all the investigators are asked to find for proof.

    The Patriots’ balls were under the acceptable PSI in the rules. That right there is a violation. It was all 11 balls, too. So, whatever happened, the Patriots were responsible for this. They should have been punished. The investigation looked into whether this was deliberate, and I don’t know how you can explain the balls being under the PSI after the balls were examined by officials. It should be obvious that the entire organization deserves punishment.

    Yet, the report actually goes out of its way to say NOBODY ELSE in the organization outside of Brady and a couple of knuckleheads knew anything about this or did anything wrong. Mm-hmm. I guess if I were Kraft, I’d be upset at the punishment, too, if the report says this wasn’t anyone else’s fault.

    But, no, that’s not right, either. Who is responsible for Brady? And, who is responsible for the culture of cheating in that organization? The buck stops with you, Mr. Kraft. You employ cheaters, and sometimes they get caught, and then you get punished. That’s how it goes.
