Throwing Brady or the ball boy under the bus won't fly. The NFL in bounty-gate explained that the Head Coach is ultimately responsible.
The most troubling aspect of this to me is two things:
1) The Ravens lost a very close game and it appears the Ravens believed the Pats were using under-inflated footballs.
2) The integrity of the games is of the utmost importance. Once the public feels that games are not being played fairly, that is a catastrophic public relations hit for any professional sports league.
I believe the media and the other owners will put a lot of pressure on the NFL, and this combined with the first incident known as Spy-gate will lead to an unprecedented punishment by the NFL.
Perhaps as a Jet fan, this is just wishful thinking, but this will be fascinating to watch over the next few days.
