At the end of the day, the equipment guys didnt come up with this on their own... why would they?
So Brady knew, and IMO, Belichek knew too, at least to some extent. In the immortal words of Roger Goodell, "you're the head coach, its your job to know".

While we're deflating footballs why don't we just move the goal posts back 5 yards every time our opponent is about to attempt a FG? How about we get to use 12 players on offense? What about giving our team a 5th down on all drives in the 2nd Half of the game?
Rules are rules. They're there for a reason.
Bottom line - Don't fuck with the goalposts, don't fuck with the number of players on the field, don't fuck with the number of downs....and definitely, DO NOT FUCK WITH THE FOOTBALL!
It's as simple as that.

The really stupid thing about it all is that the guy doesn't even need to cheat. He's a damn good QB on his own. I can't imagine what it is with that organization that compels them to cheat. Prolly got tired of being so excellent that the super bowl eluded them for the last ten years and finally decided to do something about it

I think everyone is missing the major point which is...the New England Patriots have been fostering an attitude for some time that cheating is an acceptable practice. It's just not this one incident, but many spread over time. If Goodell was actually a fair and impartial commissioner, he would have done something about this a long time ago. He needs to address this big time or else this league starts to look more and more like roller derby of the '70s - (btw I was a LA T-Birds fan) Not only foster an attitude but try to make it a part of winning. That it proves out BBs need to win at any cost the "if you're not cheating, you're not trying " is a virtue

At a minimum, I'm hoping that the Ted Wells report helps reintroduce the word Spaz to the common vernacular. It's been an underutilized word for years now.
