Tom "the deflater" and his Bradey balls, not gonna appeal! [View all]

Any appeal will have to be in a real court according to news reports. NOT gonna happen. That would mean that the two fired ball deflaters would testify and Tommys phone would be front and center too. Tom would end up in the witness stand, say it ain't so!!! The Patriots have a record of cheating and going to court would just remind the American football public of just what the Patriots team is really all about. It would not be pretty. They may appeal to the league and get back their draft picks, but because tommy refused to cooperate with the investigation, basically taking the football equivalent of the 5th, he has no hope of reclaiming his self ascribed legend.
