But the NFL does now know and someone on that team should have known.

If the story is true (balls verified pregame, checked at half time, re-inflated, checked again after game and found to be deflated), IF this is true, and the story about the Colts reporting deflated balls after the Nov game is accurate, another IF, it sounds like the NFL was setting them up to get evidence. ( Or setting them up period :tinfoil hat: )

Now I'd guess the NFL is putting the squeeze on the team to find the culprit(s). My guess is the QB coach. My last guess is if we don't get an announcement by tomorrow, we wont until after the SB. if true the punishment could be very very severe

Guessing is for internet speculators I know....ifn' and guessin'

My hope is that the stories are not true. My other hope is Brady knew nothing about it. The NFL doesn't need any more black eyes right now

"he would know about it more than me" and I have no idea his "personal preference" with the ball.

His quotes on Brady seems like the textbook example of "throwing somebody under the bus".
