Quote:Wait a mimute,, I'm starting to get confused here.


Did Brady have the balls deflated because that's the way he liked the feel of it for passing?


Or,,

was it the Pats cheating because it caused less fumbling for RBs?


Or,,

was Tom Brady intentionally cheating for the sole purpose of his RBs?


I've heard all the fumbling stats used (legitimate),,, but I'd believe the QB want the footballs to his liking.


Idk man

What specific advantage he was targeting is immaterial. Whether it was for his advantage, his team mates advantage, or all of the above doesn't lessen the fact that he was found to be actively cheating.

 

4 games is hardly a penalty considering his violation of the rules were part of the process that ultimately ended with Brady getting a superbowl win. I don't think Goodell will lessen the suspension.

 

What kind of deterrent would it be if you get caught cheating during a successful superbowl run and then the commissioner lets you off with a slap on the wrist?
