PHOENIX — The NFL’s Deflategate Super Scandal inflated to Biblical proportions Sunday when the Seahawks landed as America’s Team by default and the eyes of the world turned to the Desert Storm, the perfect storm, that engulfs the arrival of Super Bowl XLIX.

It will be wild and wacky and there will be seismic tremors that will shake all corners of the sports world. And beyond.

It will be a week unlike any other in the annals of Super Bowl history, and The Post takes a look at how the NFL’s worst nightmare could unfold:

Sunday

The arrival of the defending-champion Seahawks, and the Deflategate faucet officially opened when Pete Carroll and a handful of selected players met the national media.

Richard Sherman threw fuel on the fire, saying the buddy-buddy relationship between commissioner Roger Goodell and Patriots owner Robert Kraft will help New England get off scot-free.

Monday

The arrival of the villainous AFC champion Patriots will have a Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner feel to it, and the media frenzy is ratcheted up when Bill Belichick and a handful of players meet the national media:

  • Coach, has Deflategate been a distraction for your team?
  • Coach, can you use Us-Against-The-World as motivation?
  • Coach, does Glendale bring back painful memories of David Tyree’s catch?
  • Coach, do you expect most of the stadium to be rooting for the Seahawks?
  • Coach, is this game Seahawks versus Cheaters?
  • Coach, Jim Cantore from the Weather Channel. I don’t have to tell you that atmospheric pressure is the pressure asserted by the mass of the column of air directly above any specific point. Just wondering if you might be willing to join one of our tornado chasers who will be studying how dramatically a football can deflate inside the vortex of an E-F 5.
  • Tom, what does Gisele think of … oh never mind.

Tuesday

Media Day: The one-hour sessions with each team at US Airways Center is highlighted by one enterprising reporter dressed up as a deflated football firing questions at Belichick and Brady before NFL Security whisks him away. A pair of radio talk show hosts clad as Hans and Franz plant themselves at Brady’s podium chanting, “We want to … pump … you … up.” Belichick is asked if he can remember the first time he cheated on a final exam in school and what he remembers saying when he was caught.

Belichick stuns the huge crowd around the podium when he deadpans: “We’re on to calculus.”

There are wave after wave of questions about what he thinks the impact of Deflategate will be on his legacy, until finally, a sympathetic New England reporter interrupts with a softball question: “Bill, what did the way the team rebounded from the Kansas City loss tell you about Tom and the team?”

By the half-hour mark, he has repeated, “We’re cooperating fully with the league” so many times the number of media, ready to surrender, has thinned dramatically.

A reporter clad in hospital garb and a stethoscope introduces himself to Brady as “Dr. D. Balls.” Brady, because he has a sense of humor, laughs. Dr. D. Balls then opens the floodgates on the “How does Gisele feel about your soft balls?” questions. A snarky talk show host asks, “Tom, on a scale of 1-to-12.5, how pumped up are you for this game?” When Brady rolls his eyes, the talk show host asks: “You mad, bro?”

Hans and Franz show up and the sympathetic New England reporter breaks the growing tension by asking: “Tom, would winning a fourth Super Bowl be as sweet or sweeter than the first?”

The Seahawks media session is considerably tamer. Sherman regales the masses and sends a message to Darrelle Revis with another guarantee he is the best cornerback in football. He also guarantees he will intercept Brady in the Super Bowl.

And, in an obvious tribute to the late Stuart Scott, Sherman adds: “I don’t care if his balls are as soft as the other side of the pillow.”

Marshawn Lynch, meanwhile, is in full Least Mode mode, answering every question for an entire hour no matter what the topic with: “Balls.”

Wednesday and Thursday

The interviews are conducted at team hotel headquarters.

CNN’s Wolf Blitzer asks Belichick to assess troop morale and whether he learned anything from how Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf conducted his Desert Storm.

FOX’s Jay Glazer reports that the NFL has interviewed former Nixon political operative Donald Segretti for possible insight into or connection to Deflategate.

A local female news reporter interviews local women who have recently undergone breast reductions, and the doctors who performed them.

The final tabulation at Belichick’s presser:

“I’ve told you everything I know” — 46

“I don’t have an explanation for what happened.” — 47

“I’m only talking about the game.” — 58

When The Post’s Brian Costello asks Carroll what prompted the Seahawks to trade Percy Harvin to the Jets, Carroll mockingly replies: “We’re on to New England.”

Friday

The much-awaited Commissioner’s press conference. It is standing room only and combative inside an expansive ballroom.

“Commissioner, where is the investigation? Why has there been no resolution? When might we expect one? How should America feel if the Patriots win, and you fine and/or suspend them after the Super Bowl? Why should anyone think this Super Bowl isn’t tainted? After the Ray Rice fiasco, why should we have faith that you’ll get Deflategate right? Have all Patriots personnel been interviewed? Given that Robert Kraft has been one of your staunchest supporters, will you be able to be fair and objective here?
Thoughts on Bill Belichick’s scientific study? Rough year, huh?”

Saturday

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Carroll has summoned a guest speaker for the Saturday night meeting at the hotel: Frank Caliendo, who will show up as Belichick.

Super Sunday

Patriots vs Seahawks, finally, thankfully.
