The guy in charge is responsible for the conduct of his team. Belichick didn't lift a finger to punish Brady in any way AND denied any knowledge of under inflated balls YET I can find no comments quotes etc. by ANYONE on the patriots saying THEY will suspend or punish anyone involved. Nail the head coach every time there is cheating by anyone on his team and make them lose draft picks and fine them and that crap stops real damn quick.
The Dumbass Browns GM Farmer broke the rules and the owner did squat about it and for some reason the NFL didn't punish them with lost draft picks only s four game suspension for the GM (seriously what does a GM do during a game besides eat chicken wings and drink booze while he watches from the team luxury box?) The Browns owner should have fired the idiot for putting his team in such a position to lose precious Draft Picks. Brady forever tainted the Patriots 2014 season and the Head Coach and/or the owner should nail his ass to the wall but he hasn't said squat. And that looks bad.
Should you admit to using underinflated balls if you have no knowledge of them being so? And why would you punish anyone for an offense not known to have been committed?
