Quote:That's been the issue all along, no matter what we believe happened.


They've made no case to implicate Brady.


Believe him or not, his explanations are plausible. He gave them all his contacts, and yet the NFL chose not to pursue a single one of them.

There's still holes and/or lies in his statements. For example, he said that ball inflation never concerned him, yet he was caught stating in 2005 that he would lose sleep some nights over how each team would choose to inflate their footballs. This was before he him self along with others appealed the NFL to change the rule which they did. One lie.


I'm not saying he did do wrong; I think there's reasonab doubt; but there's inconsistencies with his statements, then you have his long phone calls to the ball boys, then the patriots firing the ball boys (if there was no cheating involved why fire two men and make them lose their livelihood), etc that by destroying his phone Brady played into those holes and that to me why it looks bad. The punishment is more for his behavior after then for the infraction itself, which in itself again is not proven imo.


I don't think the judge should overturn this because it sets a dangerous precedent; as unfair as it seems, it will say to other unions, "don't worry about that CBA you signed; you can get out of it when you cry foul". They signed it and agreed to give Goodell the powers of judge, jury, and executioner. Live with it. Life isn't fair. He's getting paid millions, so I have no sympathy
