"Tom Brady’s Legacy as One of the Best Takes a Hit"

"To find out if the New England Patriots knowingly used deflated footballs during the A.F.C. championship game in January, the N.F.L. hired lawyers and physics geniuses and investigators who dug so deeply that it seemed they were investigating a federal crime."

"The result was released on Wednesday: a 243-page investigative report, which included a 68-page scientific report and appendices. But, truthfully, all of it could have been boiled down to a single sentence: Tom Brady — one of the most accomplished N.F.L. quarterbacks ever — is more probably than not a cheater."

Tim Tebow Cut... Again.

The Tim Tebow Experience is over in New England.
Tebow was released by the team Saturday, ending another chapter in the 2007 Heisman Trophy winning quarterback's wandering pro career, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport was told by a source informed of the move.
Despite the requisite fervor draped upon Tebow's every move, it's far from a surprising transaction if the Patriots intended to fill their 53-man roster with the best players available. With Ryan Mallett firmly in place as Tom Brady's backup, Tebow played himself out of the role during an underwhelming preseason.
Tebow was signed in June, a move that made some sense considering the presence of offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels -- Tebow's former Denver Broncos coach who drafted him in 2010 -- and Bill Belichick, whose affinity for University of Florida players is well-documented.
Still, the Patriots needed to see Tebow develop as a quarterback in time for the regular season, and he didn't come close: His 11-of-30 passing performance over three preseason appearances netted just 145 yards, with a pair of touchdowns and two picks.
