One of the most surprising aspects of the Deflategate saga has been how little pressure New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has been under. Belichick, who was ultimately responsible for Spygate in 2007, was completely exonerated in the Ted Wells report.
By all indications, Belichick didn’t know that something illegal was (allegedly) going on with game balls. According to Ron Borges of The Boston Herald, Belichick never believed Brady when the star quarterback said he didn’t know, either.
“Belichick never believed his story, from what I was told,” Borges said on CSN New England’s Sports Tonight on Wednesday.
