Wells Report concluded that the Patriots violated rules and Tom Brady was aware

Hell I think that the nfl should let each team/qb put as much or as little air in the ball as they want.

I honestly don't care.
The nfl was dumb for letting teams be in control of their own football's and by allowing teams to have their own separate set of football's were basically asking teams to cheat.

I 100% guarantee that other teams altered their football's in a way that broke the rules and just never got caught.

I agree with the first part of this. What's wrong with having both teams use the same freaking football. But the fact is if they have a rule it should be followed. And deliberately circumventing the rule should be punished. Especially repeat offenders that have a history of this sort of thing.

Absolutely. This team has a past record of cheating, so they obviously didn't do enough the first time. The rule should be changed so that both teams use the same balls, but for now facts are facts, and they got caught cheating AGAIN. Nice message to send to the rest of the league and to the kids growing up as fans: Cheating pays off and you'll probably get away with it, but even if you get caught, you'll probably just get a slap on the wrist. People need to stop making excuses as if it's not a big deal or it's ok because everyone is probably doing it. Crappy message to young fans.
 
Here is a question for the people defending them. If it was not an advantage why would they intentionally break the rule?

they have text messages between the guys accused. There are assumptions in the report but the rule being intentionally broken by Patriots employees is a fact.

A locker room attendant and a ball boy. But people are calling for Brady to be suspended for a season. It's ****ing ridiculous!

There are no "facts". It's all assumptions and speculation.

I personally find it to be a big deal when a player or a team cheats in professional sports. Maybe it didn't effect the outcome of THAT game, but it seems like this has been going on for awhile.

....NBA players cheat just about every time down court! They especially "palm" the ball in such a flagrant way that the game was been bastardized beyond recognition! Nobody seems to care about that!

It's not cheating to palm the ball. That's like saying committing a foul is cheating. Nowhere in the rules does it say that teams are strictly prohibited from palming the ball - only that palming the ball results in a turnover.

There are text messages linking them to Brady. Brady should be suspended and the Pat's should lose draft picks and be fined. You think the ****ing QB was throwing the ball without knowing that it was deflated?
