The prevailing theory is that 1. the owners thought the Spygate penalty was too lenient, 2. Goodell was also seen as too lenient on Ray Rice (after the tape was exposed), 3. Kraft was guilty of previously lobbying other owners to swallow overblown punishments for cap violations (Jones/Cowboys). So there's the ample motivation to make a mountain out of a mole hill.

And all of that makes some kind of sense if I look at it from a certain angle. But it's just so stupid and overblown. Goodell is a nightmare.

#2 makes no sense. "You were too lenient on wife beaters, so let's make an example out of ball deflators!!!!". But #3 is interesting. I still think the Redskins and Cowboys got completely screwed for breaking a rule that didn't exist. Nothing smelled of collusion worse than that.
Goodell is really the equivalent of a petulant bully. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAA WHAAAAAAAAAA EVERYBODY LISTEN TO ME I HAVE POWER I DESERVE RESPECT WHAAAAAAAAAAA WHAAAAAAAAAAAA I'LL FINE YOU BIG TIME IF YOU DON'T LISTEN TO ME WHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

This reads to me like it should be spoken in an Eric Cartman voice.
When my wife e-mailed me to tell me that Belichick was already getting salty, I assumed it was about a 7th-string tight end who forgot to block on one play. This is much better.
