If there is one thing that can be said about the manner in which the New England Patriots have handled the process through which the league investigated accusations of the team deflating footballs, through the release of the findings of said investigation to the recent announcement of the disciplinary actions stemming from those findings, it is that they have, from the top down, been resolute in their admonition.
Starting with head coach Bill Belichick’s impromptu science lesson on the eve of the Super Bowl and going all the way up to the accusation from Don Yee, the agent for Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, the organization as a whole has been consistent in its righteous indignation, with even Brady’s father chiming in.
