Josh sits down with Ken McKusick aka “FILMSTUDY,” to talk about DeflateGate and the Wells Report. Read Ken’s thoughts here, and give a listen to our interview with him below.
∑ Introduction – Poorly reported story
o Rush to publish vs. thorough review

o Executive summary is truly entertaining reading if you’re not a Pats fan
o What does “more probably than not” really mean?
∑ Review of the report (We have time, so I’d say let’s be as interactive as possible, but try to stay with the flow of the report)
o Who are the principals
o What do we know happened?
o The communications via text and phone
o The conclusions of the report
∑ My (magic bullet) theory as to the actual events
o Belichick’s responses
o Brady’s involvement of the clubhouse stooges
∑ The likely punishment
o How justified in the midst of domestic violence suspensions (crimes against the sport)
o Penalties themselves
o Negotiation to implement
