Quote:There is no correlation with Brady cheating. Either he did or he didn't. My only point is that the evidence against Brady is only "more probable than not" according to the conclusion of the Wells report, while Anderson's actions that may have put a team at a disadvantage are 100% known.

There was no Wells report at the time. You can't judge his actions based on information revealed after the fact.

 

All Anderson knew was there was an accusation by the other team. You don't disrupt a game based on what was at the time an unsubstantiated claim. He gave the pats the opportunity to abide by the rules and they didn't. That is 100% their own fault.

 

When the time was appropriate, he followed up on the claim and found it to have merit. 

 

He gave the pats enough rope to hang themselves. If he had stepped in beforehand, the pats would have gotten a minor slap on the wrist and gone on about their cheating ways.
