Read through some of the comments on here and I cant seem to think that some of you didnt read the Wells report, just the cliffnotes that the media gave you.
All the evidence against the pats is circumstantial. From Wells saying he doesnt believe the explanations given to him by the equipment guys, to Wells saying he doesnt believe the Ref who measured the balls knows which gauge he used. If you read through the report, there was one gauge that read lower than the other. The ref said he thought he used the higher gauge at the start of the game, and the lower at halftime. Wells didnt agree and based his report on his OPINION of what actually happened. The differences in the gauges + the differences in Temps alone would account for the differences in the balls.
And those talking about spygate really need to get a clue. Spygate was about where they were taping games, not about spying on practices. Everyone up to the 2006 season was taping from the same locations that the Pats got busted for. Goodell sent a memo (not a rule) saying not to tape from that spot. Pats didnt listen, and the rule was changed after they were punished. The spying on practices rumor was from a disgruntled employee who was later debunked.
Even if he had the balls deflated, which has not been proven and will get overtuned in an impartial hearing (Goodell hearing the appeal of the punishment he handed down is a joke) it isnt worth 4 games. A fine, sure, but 4 games is in the realm of PEDs, Domestic abuse...
Also, need to add I am not a Pats fan, not a Brady fan but you gotta respect what they have done for the last decade+.
