Just heard a great Tim Hasselback interview. He says that the ball crew sets the balls to whatever the QB tell them to, and that there is no way a professional QB would not have the conditions of the ball that he desires adhered to. He also said that he'd bet his house that Bellichik wasnt in on it.
The host asked him if he's heard about anything like this happening before while playing for 8 different teams or being involved in the sport, and he said "Yeah. About them."
Lol.... The host later said "I highly doubt that this is the first time they've done this. It's not like Brady is going to say, 'oh, let's try this brand new thing in the AFC title game.'"
Makes sense. Based on their habitual history, I bet they get fined low 6 figures and lose a mid round pick, probably a 4th. Brady will probably be fined individually, too.
