The Bachelor offer its congratulations to the New England Patriots for their Superbowl victory.  On audio we were hearing the play-by-play commentators saying that this victory was a vindication for them with Deflate-Gate.  Not so fast, the Heir says.  Because the Heir just got a text from the NFL commissioner's office: they want the Heir, starting after this coming Labor Day in September, to be there at each stadium's equipment room, before each game, to personally inspect the footballs with a pressure gauge, to officially approve of the pressure of each football that's going to get played.  In short, the issue of game integrity should still run paramount, despite the media and Blynn Zimmerman wanting to use the "vindication" as this coming week's talking point memo, and then forget that Deflate-Gate ever happened.  So if the Heir hears one morning a week and a half from now with the sports minute that there was a new development in Deflate-Gate, there will be close to no commentary anywhere on the matter (certainly not on visual).  Blynn Zimmerman was hoping for a Nipple-Gate from Katy Perry just so he won't talk about Deflate-Gate if he had to.  We in the Bachelor have always made it a point to not follow the herd, and very often forsake the herd to drive one important point home: two can play the vindication game.  The herd is moving away from Deflate-Gate, but the Bachelor is heading toward it.  It's not against New England (the Heir doesn't really like Seattle anymore than New England), but for the game.  He doesn't want the commissioner's office to just let it go just because the media will almost certainly do so.

"Keep Deflate-Gate alive.  The integrity of the game is still at stake."
