"IF" the evidence clearly is shown and it's proven the Pats deliberately illegally screwed around with the footballs after they were inspected then yes the NFL should come down on them hard, fine them, take away draft picks and suspend Belichick for the entire season. As a Pats' fan I'll probably stop being a fan of them if the evidence is there and NFL's findings show the Pats are guilty.
I read a report that the NFL said they will officially release their findings in 2 to 3 days so it will be Thursday or Friday. "IF" the Patriots really did something so bad and so egregious I doubt the NFL would release their findings before the Super Bowl so quickly. You actually believe the NFL would turn the entire NFL Super Bowl media day all about this massive controversy and force Goodell to hold press conferences every day during Super Bowl Week and possibly have the FBI and Justice Department involved? lol After the whole Ray Rice controversy I think the NFL learned it's lesson.
Now, some things we need to understand. This is the Colts who made this claim and some biased Indy journalist who HATES the Pats. The Colts/Pats have a shady rivalry with the Colts having a druggie idiot owner who's lucky he's not in jail who's obsession is to destroy the Pats and Belichick. The Colts illegally pumped in fake crowd noise over the speakers and turned up the heat in the 2006 AFC title game against the Pats. Comcast Sportsnet Gary Tanguay had this admitted to him by people at NBC during and after the game.
There are some reports out also about Ravens' coach Harbaugh and Colts' coach Pagano talking during the week before the game setting this whole thing up. Remember, Pagano worked for the Ravens.
It's almost as if the Colts didn't prepare or plan to win this game, they played the game as detectives who's sole purpose is to find anything they can and complain to the league about it. Any little thing they could find they'd get. And of course a Colts' player makes an INT and runs to the sidelines like a little tattle tail claiming the ball "feels funny." And it was reported that ball was handed over to the Colts' ball boy first.
I think there's a 70% chance the NFL finds nothing wrong. I could be wrong and will admit it here if I am.
There's also a myth that Goodell and Kraft are "buddies." lol Goodell is a NY Jets fan who hates the Pats and the NFL hates the Pats. There are so many people in the NFL who want to nail Belichick.
But hey, after SpyGate us Pats' fans are use to all the conspiracies. One of the best ones I read recently was something regarding the Patriots' light house at their stadium gives the home team some advantage.
But it's only a big deal if the Patriots are involved...
