The pushing of boundaries is an irrevocable part of NFL football. Teams try to get every competitive advantage imaginable; sometimes they get caught and sometimes they don't. But this isn't the New England Patriots' first time getting caught. In 2007, following "Spygate," they were fined $750,000 and lost a first round draft pick. And now there's "Deflategate," a football deflating controversy swept under the rug until the Superbowl and NFL Draft wrapped up.
The Wells Report was released this week, implicating a Patriots locker room attendant, a Patriots assistant equipment manager, and at least in part, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
