"Deflate Gate" seems to have lost its lustre.

When the New England Patriots completed their historic comeback Super Bowl win on Sunday night, the moment many football fans had been anticipating was finally happening.

Goodell quickly exited stage right while Patriots fans rejoiced and, as expected, the memes that followed the encounterwere ripe.
