I'm not a huge football fan, however when I was in high school and college I played LOTS of football.

When the DeflateGate scandal broke in the news back in January, within moments I said to Kathy, "This is absurd. After each play, the ball it touched by NO LESS than two NFL officials. If the balls were spongy, they'd notice it and blow them up."

Did you see the news announced yesterday afternoon about the massive fines for Tom Brady and the Patriots?

If you're a sports fan, you should probably read my opens in a new windowVERY SHORT blog post with my rhetorical questions posed to the NFL.
