51. I'm sure the Brady Bunch is doing whatever they can to keep

him from having to answer those inquiries about his text messages with the ball boy deflators.

I'm sure his legal team wants to baffle with bullshit about psi this or that, but his texts are what explain his involvement, and that's what the investigators were mostly interested in.

Yeah, I'm sure by taking it to court, he will not be held as accountable on some levels, which is why they are going that route. Is that what you meant by Brady testifying under oath being a disaster? I'm thinking he just wants to dilute the focus of the initial investigation and water it down with other bullshit that it takes attention away from his intent to circumvent the NFL rules by cheating. In other words, it's a 'look over there" type tactic to deflect attention away from the incriminating evidence.
