I remember the last time the Patriots were accused of violating the rules, based on anonymous sources, on the eve of a Super Bowl.  It turned out that the story -- that the Patriots recorded video of a Rams practice -- was totally false (though lots of people still seem to believe it).

Forgive me for not believing in, or caring about, a similar unsubstantiated story now.  We do know there's an allegation that a ball was deflated to some extent, and the NFL is investigating it.  That's basically all we know.  We do not know if it is true, and we do not know how it happened if it is true.  And until we do know, I have no reason to care.
