Who Did What?

So what's the truth? Did Brady hatch a plan to use deflated footballs? Did the league take things out of context? Did words change their meaning depending upon who hears them and who wants the word to fit into a particular mindset?

Is this a punishment for a possible infraction or because of a certain arrogance on the part of the Patriots irked the league.

Did Brady take a page out of Bartleby, the Scrivener and respond, when asked to turn over his phone, "I would prefer not to." Did this stir the embers of the league. It enraged Bartleby's boss who didn't know how to respond.

Or did the phone record incriminate or embarrass the Patriots?

Is all this worth the hours of time spent dissecting the myriad possibilities? Is this a tempest in a teapot? Who knows?
