There are things that happen in history, and you say to yourself, “My goodness, we’re still talking about it all these years later!”
In the case of DeflateGate, any discussion should have ended a few days after the AFC Championship Game. This is nothing more than an equipment violation. Instead, it is beginning to resemble Tea Pot Dome, Watergate and Iran-Contra in terms of notoriety and the impugning of the guilty party.
What should have been over and done with in a quick and expedient matter instead has captured national attention, exhaustive media scrutiny, and the continued castigation of both the NFL and the New England Patriots.
