Every quarterback in the NFL likes their balls prepped. Every single one of them. Some like them roughed up, some like them at the high end of the inflation limit, some at the low end. This is nothing new, and certainly isn't what has ever been considered cheating in the past. Hell, just last year the Panthers and Vikings were caught red-handed warming up balls on sideline heaters during a cold day and nothing happened to either team.
The NFL is who needs a therapist. So they are taking two picks from the NE Patriots, and fining the organization $1M. Sounds great, until you read what the report says: "In particular, we do not believe there was any wrongdoing or knowledge of wrongdoing by Patriots ownership, Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick or any other Patriots coach in the matters investigated."
So after investigation we don't believe they did anything wrong, but we're going to take their picks and fine them anyway. Ridiculous.
