So you have no idea how texting works...but have a fervent opinion on what it means.
Nor was any hearing ever held on whether he was to be punished for destroying his phone.
Nor did the NFL ask for his phone - Wells adamantly testified that he did not, and that further he never told Brady there would be any consequences for not turning it over.
Nor was he ever accused of destroying the texts - which the NFL requested, but when asked by Brady’s lawyer under what authority they had any right to private communications on a personal phone, they did neither respond nor protest in any way prior to announcing the punishment.
Further, when Brady did learn of the fit the NFL was throwing, the metadata of the texts was presented which showed the NFL had every single relevant text. It apparently is a surprise to you that texts not only go from someone, but to somebody else...and the texts are in not only both of those places, but various applications retain copies in cloud storage as well.
If an employee tried the nonsense that Brady did he would have been fired!
He knew the balls were underinflated and that is how he wanted them.
Just another cheating New England Patriot.
Brady knew they were going to ask to see the phone and that is why he destroyed it.
Just like Hillary and her emails.
Brady was lying through his teeth when he said he didn't know the balls were underinflated, every QB who was given a football knew if it was overinflated or underinflated.
