Today the New England Patriots tried to fight back against the claim that they cheated by saying that the man who handled the footballs, James McNally, was nicknamed “the deflator” not because he deflated footballs, but, get this, because he was trying to lose weight. Yeah. Well Troy Aikman ain’t buying, and neither is most of the internet:

Meanwhile, the dumber of the Patriots’ fan swallowed the excuse whole cloth while raising thousands to help the billionaire owner of the team pay his million dollar fee.
