That was swept under the rug by Goodell because he didn't want to play that game again.. How many teams have been caught pumping in crowd noise, etc... If Brady is guilty of deflating balls in 2016, he is not alone. And that's IF he was guilty. Teams "cheat" or "bend the rules" all the time.
Anyway, great to have some friendly "arguments" with you and the rest of the Patriot Nation haters. Sports would be a lot less fun if we couldn't talk smack and argue about this crap!!! I think the world hates the Pats more now than ever, and they must be hated even more than those pinstripe wearing pieces of garbage that call themselves the NY Yankees!!! hahahahhahahahaha!!! Go Pats!! Go Sox!! and Go Bruins!!!
I had no problem with Brady at first. Then they uncovered the texts between him and the equipment(?)guy. That sold me. Plus the NFL gives a ton of leeway and benefit of doubt in player controversy. Thus, the 4 week penalty was further proof for me.

Could I be wrong? Most definitely! Could the NFL be wrong? Sure

But like I said, I love to watch the guy play. I agree that he is the best. I can't get past this, especially for him. He is better than that.

As far as the Steelers and others, cheating is cheating. All should be held accountable. If the equipment guys don't understand basic physics that balls compress with cold environments, then it's time to replace them. Every single person within any organization represents that team, even front office help.
