How do you like them apples? With just two days to go before their Super Bowl showdown with Seattle, the New England Patriots have found a handful of diehard fans to fall on their swords for the team. These guys want you to know that Bill Belichick and Tom Brady had nothing to do with
Deflategate. These guys are ready to take the blame. These guys look kind of familiar.

The group confessed to their involvement (wink, wink) in a hilarious video which aired during last night's Jimmy Kimmel Live. We're not buying their story, but the accents are as on-point as Evans' remarks about Brady's piercing blue eyes.
