Ken, the other side to the Brady/Patriots story is alleged dodgy dealing, including ball tampering. (This is material for the ball tampering thread.)

What I can't understand is why the NFL lets the teams supply and handle the game balls. It's insane. It's asking for trouble. (I think Akhtar's autobiography talks about how cricketers would sneak into the umpires' room to substitute the ball, so the umpires then started locking their room. Again, I have to verify and post in the ball tampering thread.)
