It's unfortunate, because I do believe New England is a great team and I have a lot respect for Tom Brady. But this was bush league and beneath them. I say this as someone who is apathetic about who wins.

There is nothing bush league about anything that was done. They are not guilty of anything. Ten of the balls were found to be very slightly under the legal limit of 12.5 PSI. Brady has stated that he liked his footballs to be exactly 12.5 PSI. It's entirely possible that the measurement could have been off by a tick or two. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me that if the balls were measured two or three time that they might have gotten two or three different reading all within .01 PSI. The fact is that they didn't do anything to the footballs and all of this was either the result of faulty measuring, tolerances, or atmospheric conditions. Who knows, the ball that was down by 2 PSI might have been slammed into the ground or landed upon buy a 350 pound linemen.

So let's stop all the hating and congratulate the 2015 Super Bowl Champions.
