'That's a leap’: Boston Globe writer pounded for #DeflateGate investigation comparison

Today a report commissioned by the NFL was released that found the New England Patriots likely deflated balls during the AFC Championship Game this past season.

Boston Globe NFL writer Ben Volin had this take on the story:

#Patriots fans defending Brady say there’s no direct evidence against him. Circumstantial evidence was more than enough to convict Hernandez

Well, there it is. What say you, tweeters?

is this the hottest take ever or THE hottest take ever? pic.twitter.com/czURc7vI84

Someone had to be 1st to have the #HotTake as DeflateGate relates to Hernandez…and it comes from a Pats beat guy. https://t.co/GB0nDkWDtx

@BenVolin Hernandez's attorney admitted he was there at the time of the murder. That is basically saying he did it.
