Love him or hate him...is anyone out there in their right mind going to give up their personal cell phone without a criminal warrant!? Are you friggin kidding me? For something this trivial?
Investigator: “ don’t worry Mister Brady, we’ll just rifle threw your phone, ignore all the personal texts between you and your wife, pictures of your kids, all intimate communications, etc., and just take what we need m’kay?”
“We swear none of this will end up on TMZ.”
Brady made the only appropriate response in not so many words: “Go f*ck yourself.”
This was nothing criminal so I don’t think there could be a criminal warrant. This is rules of the NFL, the organization to which the team belongs. He certainly had the right to not give up his privacy, but apparently the league had the right to determine the suspension. I am not arguing that he should have given up his emails. My point of posting this was to remind everyone of Hillary’s email scandal. It is a little more important for State Dept emails to be released than football emails. I don’t know exactly what happened here and have not read it in detail. I think the answer to this is that everyone uses the same footballs per league specifications. Maybe at the start of the game they are all at 12psi or whatever the number is and the refs control the balls.
