99% of football New England Patriots fans think this whole “controversy” is basically comedy and will not see the SB as illegitimate.

Fixed. All other football fans will think the Patriots are cheaters and will a view a Super Bowl XLIX victory as fundamentally tainted.

No, football fans across the board. I’m a Steelers fan and I think it’s silly. My Packers fan co-worker also find it hilarious. My Colts fan boss find it dumb. People don’t care. There’s nothing new about ball manipulation. And also nothing new about nobody getting punished for it:

As both teams dealt with the freezing temperatures, Fox cameras showed sideline attendants using heaters to warm up game balls, which is against league rules.

Zimmer said he hadn’t heard anything from the league about it on Monday, adding, “Somebody told me (Carolina’s) ball boys were doing it.”

The only people who will find it tainted are whiny drama queens who make every HUGH and SERIES. Out here in reality it’s a dumb story to pass the most boring week on the NFL calendar.

You are right. But in NE, we really don’t give much of a $hit about what the rest of the league thinks.

I agree, the air seems to have come out of the balls on that side of the field. Fine them and move on. Fine them a lot.
