I have no idea what your post has to do with the Pats. I'm not a PSU guy (my wife is the alum), so I have never posted about game results of Penn State except the calls in the Ohio State game last year.
Predict: What punishments will be handed out in Deflategate?

I am a life long Jets fan going back to the early 70's. Unfortunately not to the Super Bowl III team. So I am long suffering and over the past decade most of the suffering has been at the hands of the Patriots starting with Belichick quitting after one day as coach to sign with the Patriots up to the "Butt Fumble" on Thanksgiving. Yes, there was the one miraculous night when we beat them in the playoffs in Foxboro, but the true Jet fan in me considers that more a fluke.
With all that said and considering recent history here with the Freeh Report, I back the Patriots 100% and do not believe there should be any discipline regarding a report that after 200 + pages can only say it was probable. If the commissioner wants to open the flood gates to appeals and lawsuits and make yet another bad executive decision and punish the franchise and player, he may not recover when all is said and done.
Do you understand how negligible the difference is between a ball that dropped to 12.1 because of atmospheric conditions and one with 11.5 PSI? It doesn't mean a damn thing.
If it was so important, why did they let the Colts play with 3 balls that were under 12.5 when tested by one of the refs?
At halftime they pumped the Pats balls up to 13.3-13.5. Brady threw better and they didn't fumble. WTF?
Why does Belichick pay so much attention to detail? When, all he has to do is drop the PSI a little bit to compensate for atmospheric conditions.
When these refs test the pre-game balls and one of them comes up 12.2, do you really believe they put air in the ball?

Your day is coming. Pats won't dominate forever. When Brady retires, people will see Belichick is a very, very good coach. But, not OZ. The formula to win in the NFL is a lot simpler than E=MC2. Have a committed owner, a good scouting dept and a good coach. Now, get your QB. Probably, the most important thing with today's rules in the NFL.
Who cares! I rarely watch NFL games. Usually I watch for PSU players, no PSU players no watch.
You can't really even put a definition on a "tarnished legacy" like people keep talking about. It's all opinion no matter what. If you think it is and if you don't it isn't. I would always say that Brady and Belichick are the two best at what they do in my lifetime.
punishment is meant to put the fear of God in the one who created the problem that they don't do the same thing again. Or make the punishment so severe no one will even think about breaking the rules/laws.
Brady: one year suspension, $25,000,000 fine.
Accomplices, loss of jobs and 5 year ban from employment with any NFL team in any capacity.
Warning to all NFL personnel that the next violator of rules will receive a lifetime ban from the sport (Pete Rose Punishment).
While I am on the subject, Rose should be reinstated, the day after he dies.
