Brady needs to be suspended. They need to lose draft picks for 3 years and lose a couple home games next year as well.
Yes, they cheated and got caught.
No, cheating happens.

The CHEATING Patriots* will play in the Super Bowl, but they will not win.Originally Posted by HHURRICANE
There will be no cheating in this game.
Frankly, i kind of hope the pats do win and that brady and belichick see everyone looking at that podium with the skepticism in their eyes and the disgust. the interviews real short. the tv's all going off immediately. The nfl seeing that propping this team up over the years hurt the league in the long run. For cheaters, i think they do all this hoping to not get caught but when they get caught and they win, that's when they know the real shame. and it can't be passed on. we don't get to revel in it. it's theirs and theirs alone. And frankly, i hope that pain comes to them because they won and that it stays and hurts forever.
if the pats win, i think most fans who have been vehemently against the cheating and how it was swept away would start just giving up. i turned off the AFC championship game because its' the same crap. Brady got hit hard and there was a flag for a totally legal hit. they protect this team to no end.
i wasn't tryin to send them a message to the league, but it is no longer fun to see if teams can beat them when the pats get every single break. You know that teams can't beat them. The pats always get to the top eventually given the length of the cheating and the bias in officiating.
they have a history of being crappy in the first 4 weeks. i honestly think belichick tries to avoid cheating and do it legit and gets smoked cause he sucks. and then like an addict, he goes back. even in this game, they probably didn't need to do anything. luck was inaccurate and the colts came out nervous. but they screwed around with it anyway. they even tried the substitution crap again just to see if they could sneak it in again.
Let the pats enjoy their "win", and that probably will be the final straw that breaks a lot of fans backs.

You're confusing "would" with "should".
It would never happen due to the logistical reasons you stated. Isolating the external circumstances from the crime and punishment portion of the situation, do you think they should be punished and how so?

NO
The deflated balls were caught at half time and NE scored most of their points the second half. No harm no foul.
its the only enhanced interrogation technique approved by the obama administration you know
One set of rules for all in the beloved community
The trophy has been appropriately altered to Brady's liking:
Billszone 2013 Prediction Contest winner!
Suspend BB for a year. Payton did as well as Greg Williams and they didn't cheat.
they should also essentially "audit" a day in the life of belichick. be proactive on the number of things the team is doing. it should be done as a surprise the day of the game, check the helmets, the feeds they are getting, make sure ernie adams like locked out (or his responsibilities clearly sketched out).
To think only 2 things have occured that no other team has been caught with or alleged to do, the next scandal is only a few years away. the NFL should get ahead of it by making the penalties very strict, and putting under the eye of a regulator so they know what other crap is going to be coming/discourage them from trying to bend the rules.
They weren't going to let Marshawn Lynch on the field if he wore gold shoes.
the hypocrisy of the NFL is about to boil over.

The Colts in the Super Bowl would be a total joke. They already showed how bad they are vs NE & Dallas. It makes as much sense as declaring the team that finished 2nd in the AFC East the AFC Champs. Actually, not a bad idea, but would Orton come back & play?
LOL!
This is the STUPIDEST "controversy" in the history of the NFL.
Why is it that ALL the QBs we've heard from have laughed this off?
I thought the NFL was supposed to be a man's league.
Spygate was stupid enough, now Ballgate?
I just hope the Patriots wipe out the Seahawks just so all the haters spend the rest of the year grinding their teeth and beating their dog...
Honest to God, ANYONE that's excited about this should be ashamed of yourselves.
You've totally poisoned the Superbowl out of spite.
Enjoy yourselves whining all game about trivia...
There's a reason why Belichek, Brady and Kraft are consistent winners and most of the rest of the teams are consistent losers and it has nothing to do with cheating...

Yet most haven't laughed it off and said it's a particular edge.
i say the NFL golden rule should stand. "just give it to them". This is the beginning of the end when they let cheaters continuously get away with it.
They've been caught twice cheating and no other team has. no other dynasty has been put under this microscope. no one is to blame but hte patriot organization and to whatever extent the NFL is accepting of it.
they are the kid with all the candy and no one to share it with, because no one respects them.
Don't be silly.
"Spygate" wasn't cheating and neither is this.
This is just a bunch of butt-hurt haters.
Thanks for ruining the superbowl, loser-men...
Next time bring weight scale to Ref. Put in the back pocket. Like a cocaine weight scale. If the ref found deflated the ball and 15 yard plenty ( use only patriot ball )

plus barbed wire and thats my final offer
The NFL doesn't agree with you that Spygate wasn't cheating.
As far as Inflategate... let's say in the last Ryder Cup it was proven the Eurotrash used gassed up golf balls that were out of specs. Let's then say, a decade before they were caught filming who the American fourball lineup was prior to them announcing theirs in an effort to maximize their strengths.
You'd be ok with that?
dont bother answering because I already know you have some stupid anti-American bias that's going to steer you down the road of pseudo-manly righteousness... same as you do for your butt buddy Putin.
The truth is you pick sides more than anyone for whatever your personal "reason" is. The only reason I can fathom for your odd support of the Pats is your unnerving need to seem like boat rocking rebel.
its pathetic... especially for a man of your tooth length.
fix it.

Most have laughed this off because they did it themselves.

Brad Johnson admitted he paid guys off before the Super Bowl to underinflate balls as well, though he did it to all of them.
TBH, with any other team it wouldn't be as big a deal, but this is a team that makes a strategy out of working the refs and bending rules to their absolute breaking point. The illegal contact they were using to stifle Manning's Colts in early 2000s, Spygate, the attempts at illegal substitution on fourth down vs. the Broncos, the constant manipulation of the injury report and IR system, the ineligble receiver stuff they pulled on the Ravens, and so on.
The endless gamesmanship gets old, and so when they step over the line people naturally react.
