I'm assuming this is the whole story.  According to Wells, they wanted Brady to do specific pretty generic searches, and they wanted texts or whatever from specific people.  Tom Brady was apparently advised to not give up that information and eventually destroyed the phone (which is not as out of the ordinary than people make it to be).  yada yada ya. Eventually Brady was able to get his phone records and was able to prove that the investigators pretty much already had everything they were asking for in the first place from the other phones (Ballboy or whoever's).  

 

I don't care if Brady secretly deflated every football he ever thew, I just think the NFL has to prove someone did what they are punishing them for (and how about actually try to prevent it if it's so important).  Say someone in the future actually is innocent of something.  This is the standard?  If an innocent person wants to keep personal information private he is guilty? And what about the wells report?  "More likely than not" AKA "I really don't know"? This is the NFL standard?  Good thing they can't issue the death penalty.

 

What standard? Regardless of his text/emails or not they still have the text from the ball/equipment guy.  You don't get the name deflator for nothing.

 

Why did Tom Brady have a phone call with the guy and a private meeting at the practice facility and then tell the investigators that he forgot what they talked about?

 

Why did he say that he destroys his cell phone every 8 months only to destroy this one at 4 months knowing the investigation was coming?  Further to this, why did he have an older cell phone that he didn't destroy?

 

Too many inconsistencies.  With or without that phone, he was done.
