Roger Goodell addresses NFL's alleged Deflategate coverup

Seven years later, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell still finds himself sidestepping questions about Deflategate.

A report earlier this week from ProFootballTalk's Mike Florio claimed the league "expunged" PSI (pounds per square inch) data taken during the 2015 season to determine how footballs gained or lost pressure due to weather. Per Florio, NFL general counsel Jeff Pash issued a "direct order" asking the league to delete those numbers.

The scandal resulted in a four-game suspension for then-New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and two forfeited 2016 draft picks for the organization. On Wednesday, Goodell was asked about the report and whether Brady, the Patriots, and the fans deserve to see the data.
