Patriots "defense" here is pretty interesting, IMHO.
From BB and TB its been "we know nothing about this"
Which is either (a) true or (b) false. If (b), their careers are ruined. Just out and out lying and deception. Given how high the stakes are on (b).... sort of makes it seem like (a) is the more likely outcome, even if it is hard for Patriots-haters to accept.
If (a), the question then shifts to "so what, then, happened?"
And this is tossed to the NFL and the referees to deal with....
In any case, strikes me as quite different than the "spygate" stuff in which we saw BB defensive and tight lipped.

The NFL has apparently taken this all very seriously, but, um, hasn't had time yet to contact Tom Brady. ??

They're too busy being shocked, angered, and distraught.

Actually to my earlier point, it shifts the entire focus on the NFL, which has yet to make any sort of statement, other than apparently leaking some info about the balls being deflated. This is going to lead to a lot of speculation about what, exactly, the NFL is doing.

Also, there is this out there today:

Including the following:
Quote
The balls would be in the officials’ possession until just minutes before the start of the game, at which point they would hand to ball boys on each side of the field. For balls to be tampered with, it would most likely have to take place on the field during the game.

Or too busy previewing Super Bowl ads, which are way more entertaining than the anti-Patriots drivel oozing from so many people's pores these days.

Well the fact that Marc Brunell seemed choked up after Tom's presser because he was so disappointed is pretty ridiculous.

I wonder if the FBI trained investigators/interrogators in Indy, Denver, or Seattle feel the same way?  ;)

The funniest part is local and national media keep claiming this "isn't a big deal", but they beat the horse to death, dug it back up, and are continuing to beat it.

Just drop the whole dang thing if it's not a big deal.

Gotta waterboard Brady just to be sure.
