When this deflate-gate crap first broke after the AFC Championship game, I tried to stay away from it as much as possible. I thought it was stupid, and it didn’t deserve my time.
However after this latest development, I have to step in and give my two cents. At the beginning, when it was just random leaks, and dumb NFL media guys spewing their opinions, I could let it go.
