This is why I hate ESPN, and most members of the sports media in general. They make an enormous ordeal out of something that, in all actuality, amounts to nothing, and run with it, before obtaining actual facts. Then they jump to conclusions, and choose scapegoats, most of the time unjustifiably, and they absolutely railroad them, and devote ungodly amounts of time/energy/resources covering the situation, and in the process, reputations are ruined, and people are unjustifiably punished by their respective leagues/teams, and are crucified by the general public. It's disgusting.

I choose to side with the Pats on this one. Seriously, who should give a sh*t? A few footballs were under-inflated. This is so stupid.

By a barely-perceptible amount. In a game the Pats won by 38 points (and it wasn't even that close).

This whole brouhaha is laughable to me

This is, unfortunately, the state of pretty much all of "journalism" today, not just ESPN.

pretty much the the same thing happens with "real" news.
CNN is the champ of jumping to conclusions.
