The ruling did mention that he was uncooperative with the investigation. I’m hearing on sports talk here that there were inconsistencies with his version of events.
...
So that makes a person guilty? Is a player required to convict himself? I read the actual report.
The official who measured the balls didn’t record any of the pressures. He had two gauges that turned out to differ quite a bit on their readings compared to each other. The official doesn’t know which gauge he used. The gauges obviously aren’t standardized or calibrated.
They measured four of the Colt’s balls at halftime with both gauges (in addition to all of the Patriot’s balls), and all of the Colt’s balls measured lower than what the official said they were before the game. In fact one of them measured below the legal 12.5 limit.
I don’t think anyone would want to be judged guilty based on the NFL’s lack of professionalism and accuracy when measuring the footballs. At worst Brady should get a warning.
There you go again. Interrupting a good public hanging with facts!
Reading this thread is like listening to
“Leaders” in Baltimore explain looting
Boo hoo Mean ole Brady beat them like a rented mule even after they put another lb.of p.s.I in the balls at half time.
What’s worse. He wouldn’t pay along with the Show trial. Off with his head /s
