    If you really want to interview someone and get something out of them, it is far better to be in the same room than over the phone or by video conference. That's a silly question. And the counterpoint to that is, why wouldnt the Pats make him totally available??? Again, only one logical conclusion...

    Obviously. I would suggest that this isn't the best way to validate the sanctions however.

    Do you think this kind of thing is limited to the Patriots, or do you think it happens with other NFL teams as well?

    I thought that was interesting also. But the majority of folks also think they are guilty of cheating, demonstrating they recognize that prevalence does not discount the rule violation.

    Yea I don't think it does either. But it does change how I view it as either a major or minor offense

    I think most folks feel deflating the balls a bit is a minor offense. But since it is a rule violation for a competitive edge and the Pats have been punished previously for rule violations regarding competitive edge AND they were obstructive in the leagues investigation it became a major offense.

    Patriots have been busted twice.


    Imagine what they have gotten away with over the past decade.
