Deflategate Report Released By NFL Players Association
Resume
How does a mere game played by adults end up generating million dollar fines, charges of a cover-up, a court case, thousands of pages of documents, and multi-million dollar legal bills?
That's where we are today in the stand-off between the NFL and the New England Patriots and charges that they let a little air out of their footballs last January.
If you're having trouble figuring out who to believe, there are now 4,000 pages about "Deflategate" that have been made public. The massive document dump came from The NFL Players Association, which is representing Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in court.
