The NFL has released the long-awaited DeflateGate report, and the short version of the findings by Ted Wells is that the Patriots seem to have done something funny here.

The full report was released moments ago, and in his summary, Wells writes that the irregularities in the balls used in the AFC Championship Game.

"For the reasons described in this Report, and after a comprehensive investigation, we have concluded that, in connection with the AFC Championship Game, it is more probable than not that New England Patriots personnel participated in violations of the Playing Rules and were involved in a deliberate effort to circumvent the rules," Wells concluded. "In particular, we have concluded that it is more probable than not that Jim McNally [the Officials Locker Room attendant for the Patriots] and John Jastremski [an equipment assistant for the Patriots] participated in a deliberate effort to release air from Patriots game balls after the balls were examined by the referee.

"Based on the evidence, it also is our view that it is more probable than not that Tom Brady [the quarterback for the Patriots] was at least generally aware of the inappropriate activities of McNally and Jastremski involving the release of air from Patriots game balls."

That's a huge finding, particularly as it relates to Brady, who has previously avoided adding much fuel to the fire.

Wow, wonder what the league will do. If anything.

I'm not looking to give anyone a pass, but there's a lot of wishy-washy language in there that doesn't sound like much in the way of proof.

[Zanshin]

I mean, really what's the point of that report? They knew going in it was "more likely than not." What kind of a half-assed investigation puts that out as a result?

[Eagaholic]

Apparently, Bob Kraft agrees with you

[Zanshin]

Looks like there's a tangential text trail that makes Brady look implicated. But does "looks like" cut it?

Will Goodell give a shtein either way?

Will Goodell give a shtein either way?

will anyone?

[Zanshin]

It also seems the kind of thing that the public will eat up, because, you know, Patriots...but sounds like the kind of shtein that probably happens all the time everywhere. Only a fool would believe otherwise.

[ice grillin you]

i was just gonna say both of those things....the media will blow it up to epic  levels and faux twitter outrage will be thru the roof...but at the heart of it most teams do this if not all and really no one cares no matter what they say
