My prediction:
The NFL will fine the Patriots $25,000 and move on.
Now could you imagine the outcry if that game wasn't played?
It may be more than that but we are not, I repeat NOT, going to see Brady suspended and not allowed to play in the Superbowl. That would be handing the game to Seattle. I don't think anyone wants to see that.
And I'm a Seattle fan. But I want them to earn their victory even it if it takes another succession of miracles like happened last Sunday.
Yes. That is, after all, the proscribed punishment for knowingly using an underinflated football in an NFL game.
Or, I suppose they could get “real tough” and fine them $25,000 times 11.
