Not even. If leaks are to be believed, 10 of the 11 were off by about 1 PSI. The other was around 2.

A. Umm...I'm sure he does appreciate that, but I'm also sure it's more about having a good business mind (or at least listening to those with good business minds).
B. You can go ahead and say all 32 teams...the Patriots passed him up multiple times as well.
Honestly I'm entirely convinced the Pats did this on purpose, but I also fully believe the league won't be able to find a smoking gun that proves it unless someone comes forward and admits doing it.
That means this thing will linger for several weeks with undoubtedly more leaks and speculation before the league files its findings and ends up doing basically nothing about it. That result will leave a seriously bad taste in everyone's mouth (well, outside of Foxborough anyway) that will forever leave most of us using a * next to every single achievement for the team, coach, and Brady.
In short, it will turn most of the entire football fanbase around the country into Hammerdowns.
Kraft can ask for an apology all he wants, but the result will end up being that they can't prove it, not that they are cleared of all wrong doing. Big difference.
If all of these sources are true and teams came to the league before that game then every close game they won is a travesty to this sport. They robbed the Ravens of a fair chance to win. They robbed the Jets of a fair game twice. Yes, the advantage doing this on purpose gains is likely minimal, but those close games come down to only a play or two and if it helps them in a handful of plays each game it taints every close game they have ever played in.
I say that the Patriots are ready, if anyone wants to make some smartaleck remark, just let LaGarette Blount handle it, he knows what to do.
Stay classy, Pats, good to know that they found their sacrificial lamb.
