Responding to Paolantonio’s claim that Bisciotti, Colts owner Jim Irsay, and other AFC owners have been lobbying Commissioner Roger Goodell to uphold the four-game suspension of Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, Bisciotti says he didn’t try to pressure Goodell.
“I have not and will not put any pressure on Commissioner or anyone representing NFL office to take action in . . . ‘DeflateGate,'” Bisciotti said in a statement, via Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com.
“The story circulating that I’ve put pressure on Roger [Goodell] is 100 percent wrong,” Bisciotti added. “The reports are unfair to [Patriots owner] Robert Kraft, who is [an] honorable person and to his franchise.” (Via PFT)

It's been a long time since we talked about DeflateGate. I hoped the next time we would talk about DeflateGate is when Roger Goodell finally reached his ruling on the Tom Brady suspension. Rumors leaked out this weekend that Baltimore Ravens owner Steven Bisciotti had been pushing Goodell to stick to the four game suspension. Same goes for other AFC owners which shouldn't be a surprise to anyone with a brain. If New England somehow starts 0-4, Baltimore has a huge advantage heading into the next part of the season. Even if the Pats are 1-3, they get a huge lift. Personally, I feel like the Patriots are ready to torch the earth this year.
Charlie.
