BFD....
Brady and the Pats are making tens of millions of dollar$$$ of off this, by winning the super bowl. This is just a slap on the wrist.
SEE???
Cheating really does pay.
Was there any proof that Brady did it or knew about it?
This is the way it's going to be, but seriously?
The balls were deflated to 1 or 2 psi below spec. In the second half, the Pats scored more points.
It's a trivial matter, like putting too much rosin on a baseball bat.
The penalty on the books is a $25k fine.
A harsher penalty is justifiable for failure to cooperate with the investigation, but the loss of a first round draft choice is ridiculous.
There is cheating on EVERY PLAY in football. This suspension and punishment is a joke. When a receiver pushes off to score a game-winning touchdown, isn’t this a more flagrant rules violation than deflating footballs? This issue gives people the opportunity to feel a little moral superiority over someone, even though THEY probably helped ruin America by voting for baby-slaughtering Democrats! Bob
