Quote HistoryQuoted: And Brady violated league rules by not cooperating with an investigation. That's why he was suspended! He's a moron if he takes this to Massachusetts state court (well this is Brady). What are they going to find, that he didn't destroy his phone after the investigator asked for text messages pertinent to the case? Yes Pete Rose bet on games he was managing. I'm not arguing that fact. He broke one rules and has since been banned from the HoF. There's no evidence that he cheated, only that he broke the rule on better. There is on the other hand evidence Brady cheated, along with braking league rules. I have no idea why he even went so far as to destroy the phone. The league wasn't asking for all 10k text messages. Only the one between him and the ball guy. So why again did he need to destroy his phone? Brady and the NFLPA have a pretty good argument that the section of the players contract that talks about conduct unbecoming/cooperation is separate from the rules and discipline book that covers the ball misconduct which is targeted towards teams and not players. A book that is not part of the current collective bargaining agreement. Brady's side has already come out stating they provided the league with all pertinent electronic date, which they also had already acquired from the phones of the other parties involved. There is ZERO evidence that Brady cheated. And perhaps he didn't want to hand over his personal phone containing private information to a league source considering the league is notorious for leaking bull shit left and right? |

Brady's still complicit in the cheating, so I don't feel too badly for him - but Goodell is a turd of epic proportions. What cheating? Theres no evidence of cheating?? There is ample evidence of cheating, and evidence that Brady actively destroyed even more evidence in an attempt to avoid blame. Anyone who thinks otherwise is either a Patriots homer or intentionally obtuse. The balls were underinflated. It is known. The only question is who lowered the pressure and why. If this were a jury trial, the answer to the question of "why" would likely be determined to be "Because Mr. Brady likes them that way." |

ESPN reported he averaged 80 texts a day. He didn't destroy his phone only because of Deflategate. He destroyed it to prevent the NFL from getting 4 months of text messages @ 80 a day. Who knows where that would have led. I think he was willing to take the hit on destroying the phone to prevent them from getting additional texts to unknown others that weren't on their radar. Only my opinion.

The Wells report said there wasn't concrete evidence, but there was enough circumstantial evidence to believe he knew about it. Second, what part of the league asking for the messages between him and the staff member means he has to hand over all 10k messages? |

I still don't understand how you people, whom I assume are reasonably educated, don't understand that the balls started out at 12.5lbs jet fuel can't melt steel and deflated naturally throughout the game buildings can't fall naturally faster than gravity. There was unbiased 3rd party reviews that scientifically proved this. 
This was nothing more than a sting false flag operation by the NFL Illuminati. Fuhrer Goodell Bush wanted to look like a big macho man in the wake of totally fucking up the Ray Rice case election debacle in Florida.

0% evidence that he cheated... Oh except for the ball boy calling himself the "Deflator" in his texts with Brady. Oh and Brady destroying his phone after being asked to turn over pertinent texts (again, not even the physical phone). Tell that to Pete Rose... I know! Different circumstances, but there really is 0 evidence that he knowingly threw games he bet on. I'm not saying he misses out on his first ballot, I'm saying there's a chance. But there's also a big chance he jeopardizes himself if he drags this through court to put off a suspension that he ends up never serving because he retires.

Steelers running back Leveon Bell was suspended 2 games under terms of the NFL player conduct policy after an
arrest last summer on charges of marijuana possession and driving under the influence, which resulted in probation. He will miss the first two games at the start of this season. Two games for off the field fun that had no effect at all to a game. Brady should be banned more than 4 games. |

According to his side he destroyed the phone but provided the NFL with all relevant texts, which they already had from the other parties phones. Likely he didn't want any of his private matters on his personal phone being leaked by the league who is notorious for leaking bull shit. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Brady destroyed the evidence. If it exonerated him, why did he destroy it? Likely he didn't want any of his private matters on his personal phone being leaked by the league who is notorious for leaking bull shit. So he treats his texts like Hillary does her emails...seems legit. |

You mean like the Cowboys and Redskins got fined for going over the cap in a year when there wasn't actually a cap? Quote HistoryQuoted:

Inflating footballs, and then neglecting to measure them properly, and then when measured, the difference in pressure is easily explained by science, is not cheating.
Furthermore, if it actually mattered, the NFL would keep proper tabs on the game balls, like they do the kicking balls. If the balls being underinflated (or over inflated) were actually a big deal, the NFL wouldn't let the teams even have access to the balls after they were checked over by the officiating crew. Combine that with the fact that most of the crew uses standard equipment to check the balls, which isn't a lab grade instrument, I wouldn't be terribly surprised to learn that the gauges that they use are probably in the +- 1lb range for accuracy, which could give you an "ok" reading if it was only 2psi low. But hey, I guess they were "cheating" by inflating the balls indoors to the proper pressure in a room temperature room, where they were then inspected, and then signed off on, and then taken outside into cold weather, where the pressures predictably dropped due to the temp change. 
But I guess Brady is "guilty" of "something" because he had the foresight to destroy his shit before some NFL official could get their dickbeaters on it, and potentially leak private materal from his personal phone (because that's never happened before, am I right?). |

I find it odd, in a banana republic sort of way, that the same guy who pronounced the punishment also hears the "appeal." I am the law!! |
