It is more then balls, look at the history and culture of cheating of the Patriots Brady not only approved of this by conduct but he benefited as a result.And since Tom Brady won numerous Super Bowls BEFORE teams were allowed to provide their own game balls...and kicked the tar out of the Colts with balls that were regulation as well as beat a heavily favored Seahawks team with regulation balls...it's laughable that you think he only succeeded because he cheated.
History and culture of cheating, my ass! The Patriots got railroaded on Spygate EIGHT YEARS AGO...penalized for doing something that other NFL teams were doing as well and then THAT joke of a penalty was used as the excuse to throw the book at them for a minor infraction that can't even be proven!
The "culture" of whining about the success of the Patriots by fans of other teams who can't come to grips with the fact that the Patriots are simply a better organization than the team they love has reached epic proportions. You can't beat them on the field so you attempt to do it off the field with bullshit like "Deflategate" The judge that is hearing this dispute is looking at the "evidence" that the NFL used to come to their decision and asking them if they have any direct evidence. You know WHY he's doing that? Because he's baffled at how they arrived at the decision that they did with as little evidence as they had.
