deflategate.....

Why did they wait until after the Super Bowl and the draft? Well, I can think of two reasons...
Lots of fun answers?
Why are they giving him a hard time? Because there is a clear evidence chain leading directly back to him.
Why are they doing it now? Because it's the off season and it no longer matters.
This way they can look like they are coming down on their golden boy for cheating in the play-offs without really doing a damned thing besides giving him an extra week of summer break.

Apparently they had communication between 2 Pats employees talking about Tom complaining about balls being too inflated as well as phone records showing an increase in the # of calls between Tom and one of them before the incident.
Tom refused access to his emails and texts, do so much for his complete cooperation.
It had no impact on the outcome of the game for the one he got caught in.
Tom is prolly guilty. But there is no real evidence showing he is...its all assumptive.
this feels like a situation where kids have guilt written all over their faces but their saying prove it....they could be setting themselves up for worse trouble

Who cares that guy is the greatest nfl qb I've ever watched ... I don't care about a ball being 11.5 psi instead of 12.5 psi
Which is why the NFL worded it with it was "more probable than not". They don't need beyond a reasonable doubt. And yeah I think that is exactly how the Pats handled it. You can't prove we did anything.
Cheaters cheat, it's what they do. Doesn't matter they need to or not. They live by the old adage - if you're not cheating, you're not trying.
He didn't for the game he got caught in. But it makes you wonder how many other games he did it in and did it make a difference in those.
Same thing with Spygate. They probably didn't need to do it, but they did.
brady is a great QB but i hope you're under 30 years old if he's the best you've ever watched
Agree... he publicly stated numerous times he was cooperating, while fighting it behind the scenes by Pat Carroll'ing the equipment guys into lying for him.
Of all the travesties in modern football:
We choose to get upset over the deflation of footballs in a game played by millionaires.
Thus sums up my critique of modern society.
- It's exploitation of the dreams of socially deprived population.
- The reduced educational responsibility to try to foster the dream.
- The illegal recruitment of players by private christian schools
- The creation of "football factories" in public education.
- The billion dollar college industry made on the backs of the socially deprived.

Tom's balls are soft. Too soft according to the NFL. The investigator "thinks" he is guilty based on his interpretation of the evidence. The NFL has had MANY of their cases reversed when reviewed by an impartial judge. While many are jumping to conclusions , I don't think this is the end of the story. Roger has a heavy handed style that occasionally gets his pronouncements overturned.
This incident could have been avoided by the league maintaining custody of tom's balls prior to the game. JMHO!

I have no idea what is going on with this deflategate stuff, but I was just wondering where were the refs in all of this. In baseball if an ump sees a scuffed ball he tosses the ball.
If this is such a big thing...why didn't the refs or the seahawks speak up during the game?

The NFL can just change the rules and call it the Brady inflation r
It was not in issue in the Seahawks game. They were caught before that when they smoked the Colts I believe it was.
Cheaters always think they're the smartest person in the room, so it's easy for them to cheat because they think everyone is too stupid to catch them.
Did Barry Bonds have to cheat? No, he was good before the roids. Did Tom Brady have to cheat? Nope, but he did and now he's a cheater just like Bonds. Of course the media likes him better than Bonds, so they won't go that far, but cheating is cheating. Both are tainted
It's telling that this year's Super Bowl ended up being a team of cheaters against a team of juicers.

Don't forget publically funded stadiums where the payor (Joe public) is priced out of admission. Then, if ownership puts out a bad product and attendance is bad, joe public is punished by television blackout rules. Then, after only 15 years of a 30 year note being paid for by the public, the stadium (that has a life span of 50+ years) is deemed "out of date," and Joe public is forced to incur more debt so the owner can add more revenue enhancing suites
Heard Jim Gray on the Stephen A. show say that what no one has mentioned in all this is that the nfl also tested 4 of the Colts game balls and all 4 were below nfl
standards. Why they tested only four Colts balls while testing all twelve of the Pats is a mystery.

Ummm 9 afc championship games 6 Super Bowls and 4 rings and he was a miracle helmet catch away from having five with an undefeated season.... I don't know who you'd put ahead of that! you could debate Montana maybe Elway just because of his pure talent, but don't act like its a stretch to say Brady is the greatest ever
Pats never won a game because of cheating? They themselves at least have to believe it gives them an edge, or they certainly would not be doing it.
I don't give a crap either way how the league handles it - whether this is the last we ever hear of it or Brady gets kicked out of the NFL and Pats stripped of their Championship I still have to get up in the morning and go to work.

Meh, I'm a Colts fan. They should be punished or whatever, but it's just not that huge of a deal. We all know if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying.
I will still rub it in the face of every Pats fan I run into.
