Did the New England Patriots make it to the Super Bowl by taking air out of footballs in the AFC Championship game?
Are NFL executives dragging out the investigation to avoid having anything come out during Super Bowl week? Have the Steelers ever cheated? We'll put these questions and more to Pittsburgh Post-Gazette sportswriter emeritus Bob Dvorchak.
Dvorchak offers light-hearted commentary about all of the media attention for the deflate-gate scandal.
"When the national discussion for the last two weeks is the air pressure inside a football, I think we’ve turned the corner as far as our priorities of a nation go.”
Later, Bob comments on whether the Patriots deserve to be in this year Super Bowl.
“I do think that there is a residual feeling that the patriots sought an unfair advantage in trying to beat some of those Steelers teams. But hey look it’s still decided on the field.. it’s still one team against another..if you are looking for excuses you can find any kind of excuse you want. The patriots ... they’ve won on the field. If that team was wearing black and gold you’d love ‘em.”
