I really think Brady is done and will choose to retire.  Look at it from his point of view.  He will be disgraced either way, but continuing to play with the stigma of CHEATER following him around?  I don't think he can handle it.  I also seriously wonder how effective he can be with a regulation ball.  There's a reason they systematically deflated balls for him, and it is because he is a turnover machine with a regulation ball. 

 

Other little damning tidbits:  Brady did not call or text one of the equipment managers for 6 months before the AFC Championship game.   But after the scandal broke, Brady called this guy and talked for more than an hour.  Then for the first time in his 20-year employment with the team, the ball boy met with Brady in the QB Room at Gillette Stadium.  Brady had claimed to the media that he did not know this person's name, another obvious lie.
