Round 2 – unlike the first – goes to the NFL – and Tom Brady’s four-game suspension has been reinstated.

There are two things I’m nearly certain of when it comes to the New England Patriots.

“We were listening to the Patriots’ radio broadcast for the majority of the first half through our headsets,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin told reporters follow a 28-21 loss.  “We will let the league officials handle it.”

Except Pittsburgh didn’t let the league officials handle it. They wrote about it on the team’s official website and came within an inch of accusing New England of cheat

The Deflategate controversy took an interesting turn on Tuesday when Robert Kraft threw in the towel instead of challenging the NFL like many thought he would.

On Sports Tonight, Michael Felger suggested Kraft did an about-face with his argument because he and coach Bill Belichick were starting to believe that Brady wasn’t being completely transparent with what he told them.

The New England Patriots, coach Bill Belichick and the NFL are really going to have some questions to answer in the run-up to Super Bowl XLIX now.
