Ok, so we now know "deflategate" was a bogus story cooked up by the Ravens & Colts to make Brady look bad. There was no truth to the story.

But we now know:

1) The 49ers & Broncos were caught cheating with the salary cap in the 1990's. I just heard about that today.

2) The Cleveland Browns have just admitted to sending improper text messages (I don't know the context). They will probably lose a pick in the draft.

3) The Atlanta Falcons have admitted using fake crowd noise for the last 2 or 3 years. They will almost certainly lose a pick in the draft.

4) Hall of Famer Jerry Rice (one of the Patriots' biggest critics) has now admitted to using "stick 'em" glue on his hands/gloves throughout his career, years after it was banned by the NFL.

But the country only gets upset over a phony story about the Patriots ... go figure.

Everyone cheats the Salary Cap....why do you think the teams hire capologists to work around those rules....

Saw that Browns mess.... LOL.... they can't get out form under themselves...

Speaking of deflated footballs, Shreveport Steamer (WFL) Wide Receiver Rick Eber played a game with thumbtacks on his fingers:

The NFL has turned up nothing against the Patriots. If they had, there would have been a leak.
