Personally I don't think the big deal will be the deflated balls. Lying and stonewalling might be what causes the issue. The league lets the teams have the balls and makes no secret they want offense. They were practically begging them to do something like this. I would have respected the Pats much more if they said "Everyone does it, they didn't reinflate them after we gave them to them so what's the big deal? Had someone mentioned something we would have stopped".
I think you saw why.. While the rules do get broken and bent on a regular basis, there are too many Hammers of the world ready to jump on the Patriots for anything.
