What if the Patriots didn’t cheat against the Colts?

Before I get accused (yet again) of being a New England Patriots apologist, go ahead and do some digging into the actual meat of the Ted Wells report. What you might find is that the role veteran NFL referee Walt Anderson played in the Deflategate investigation is, at best, rather ambiguous.

For starters, it seems to make absolutely no sense that Anderson didn’t log the exact air pressure of each football before the game if he knew the NFL had been tipped off about the Patriots allegedly tampering with balls. The only thing Anderson knows for sure — or so he says — is that both team’s balls were within the allowable limit of 12.
