 With the NFL season entering its third week, Deflate Gate is still on the minds of Patriot fans like Jake Saruse. I don't think the punishment fit the crime. I mean, for Brady to get four games, I think it was pretty ridiculous. In May, the NFL suspended Patriots quarterback Tom Brady for his role in tampering with footballs used during the 2014 AFC Championship game against the Indianapolis Colts. A federal judge nullified the suspension earlier this month. The league and Goodell and a lot of the other owners around the league sort of have an agenda against the Patriots because they've had a longer history of other infractions. When I sit down and watch football, I like to just sit there and be able to watch a game and not have to listen to all the crap behind it. And people say, oh, but they deflated a ball last year, maybe, which there's still no proof of. They would have won anyway, whether or not the balls were deflated. So I don't think I should make a difference. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says the NFL will appeal the judge's decision to overturn the suspension. The Patriots so far aren't distracted by the extra attention as they've won their first two games of the season. I think Goodell's got a pretty big ego, so he obviously hates the fact that the judge has overturned the original ruling. So I'm not surprised by it. They probably made a big deal out of something that didn't need to be made a big deal out of. It's the fact that they made it to the Super Bowl still, and the fact that they won the Super Bowl legitimately, I think. I don't want to say cancels out the whole deflate gate scandal, but it definitely shows that the Pats, they can win fairly. They can win games when it matters. The general consensus here in Boston is that deflate gate has been an attempt to tarnish the reputation of the Patriots. Former Patriots safety Rodney Harrison came to Brady's defense and believes Brady will be out for vengeance this season as he looks to move on from the controversy.
