Whether the cheating was directly at Brady's behest or some assistant manager's rogue decision, that Super Bowl win wasn't deserved.

You still want that apology, Robert Kraft? The one youve been smarmily waiting for since February, acting high and mighty in your two-toned shirts, certain that the New England Patriots had nothing to do with the Deflategate controversy and projecting such a confident air with your statements that theres no smoking gun, leading most to believe that you knew something they didnt that the Wells Report was a witch hunt that would exonerate those always-honest Patriots?
It was anything but. Despite the headlines that say the Patriots werent proved to be involved in wrongdoing in the long-awaited Wells Report, they were. Just because it was lower-level employees doesnt make the Pats any less culpable. No, the report didnt reveal some massive Watergate-style cover-up, but told us what we generally expected: Some assistant managers were messing around with the football, likely at the behest of Tom Brady. Its not cause for a football death penalty, but its still cheating and shows the Pats havent learned a thing in the decade since their dalliance with illegal videotaping of teams.
But theres no apology coming from Kraft. He doesnt know to leave things alone and criticized the report for not having any hard evidence that the Patriots were involved in the deflation of balls. But what does that mean hard evidence? Theres not a videotape of it? The guys deflating the balls didnt sit for an oil painting of them using a needle to get the balls to 11 PSI? Its circumstantial evidence, hearsay and conjecture that Brady giving the deflator, the nickname the employee responsible for the deflation called himself, a pair of autographed footballs and signed a game-worn jersey that he had previously obtained was possible a thank you for getting those football to the illegal PSI which Brady preferred?
Maybe thats not enough to get a conviction in a court of law, but in a court of common sense it was always likely Tom Brady knew. It was ridiculous all along to believe that a man who spent so much time handling footballs couldnt tell the difference between one under-inflated and one properly inflated. If Ted Williams used to know when his bats were off by a touch of an ounce, Brady knew this. So what kind of cheating was it? Hes not necessarily a guy who could cork his bat, just one who might add a little too much pine tar. Its reasonable to assume Brady didnt think it was cheating, just getting a little home-field cooking, the same way the Giants used to control the wind at The Meadowlands or Red Auerbach would crank up the heat at the Boston Garden. But nobody had to answer for that, while Brady stood up in front of media members after the AFC championship and basically laughed off any wrongdoing.

(499 posts)Or Elway. Or Aikman. Or even Bradshaw. I would, however, rank him above Peyton Manning, The Most Overrated Quarterback In NFL History.

Even Shaq says we should give Trump a chance. Money talks. Paying taxes is the ultimate in patriotism as long as it benefits the most people.

(29,322 posts)And what Shaq says is the same exact thing I hear from a lot of people in Arizona "give him a chance" but they don't follow the news like I do.
I think a lot of these people were probably Republicans before they had money like many NBA players were Democrats before they made money.

(108,955 posts)For the reasons described in this Report, and after a comprehensive investigation, we have concluded that, in connection with the AFC Championship Game, it is more probable than not that New England Patriots personnel participated in violations of the Playing Rules and were involved in a deliberate effort to circumvent the rules. In particular, we have concluded that it is more probable than not that Jim McNally (the Officials Locker Room attendant for the Patriots) and John Jastremski (an equipment assistant for the Patriots) participated in a deliberate effort to release air from Patriots game balls after the balls were examined by the referee. Based on the evidence, it also is our view that it is more probable than not that Tom Brady (the quarterback for the Patriots) was at least generally aware of the inappropriate activities of McNally and Jastremski involving the release of air from Patriots game balls.

Brady did on the strength of his kicker's leg! Fuck him! That MAGA hat in his locker always says that he's another worthless asshole 1%er.
