Even if New England deflated the footballs, the league is going to have a difficult time proving it. I mean, is there video footage of the equipment manager taking air out of them? Do they expect a signed confession from Belichick?
I still say it was the cold weather. And I also say this is much ado about nothing. No one batted an eyelash when Aaron Rodgers admitted to preferring footballs that are overinflated. There was no investigation into that.
And I'm going to make a prediction: If the Pats win the Super Bowl, there WILL be another scandal, another "fill in the blank"-gate. And if the Pats lose, there will conveniently be no issues brought forth by the media.
