Bob Kravitz, Reporter Who Broke Deflategate, 'Celebrates' Its One-Year Anniversary

While New England Patriots fans celebrated their team’s AFC Championship Game berth, an old friend from Indianapolis just had to bring up past pain.

WTHR.com columnist Bob Kravitz, who broke the Deflategate story hours after last season’s Patriots-Colts AFC title game, waited just 15 minutes into Monday to note it marked a very special day. For him, maybe. Not so much for Patriots fans.

Monday is the one year anniversary of the start of Deflategate. Ah, the memories…

After that, Kravitz’s Twitter timeline turned into a therapy session of sorts, as he responded to followers’ questions about the infamous case.

Couple early tweets I'd like to have back but generally…no https://t.co/dqN0wPFZcF

Comes with the job. Unless it involves your family. That's where I draw the line. https://t.co/kQESfCKe2u

Not really. Still amazed it ended up in a federal court, and still is. Thought it would be a 3 week nuisance. https://t.co/7Qc6VoEKI3

Great question but I don't have a great answer. Sorry. https://t.co/wBssttyJi3

As I said, there were some tweets I wish I could have back. https://t.co/k17dywQGQE

Kravitz’s confirmation of the NFL’s investigation into the Patriots’ footballs used against the Colts brought so many hot takes and so much drama, it’s hard to remember much else from New England’s season.

Except the Patriots’ Super Bowl championship, which followed two weeks after the Colts were sent packing, of course.
