Well one's communications are property of the US Government and the American people while the other's is a personal cell-phone no one, not even the NFL, has a right to without a court order. What if Brady is creeping? What if he has a gay lover? What if he likes watching young dudes piss all over old ladies before games? What if he has an account at an offshore betting baseball? What if there is something on his phone unrelated to the NFL that would cause him great harm and embarrassment. Do you think the NFL would be able to keep that a secret? He was smart not to turn it over.
Yeah but the Pats are on the wrong end of that double standard you speak of.
Brady is a first time offender, got more than Ray Rice did for knocking out his fiance on video. There isn't any proof that Brady deflated balls but he gets 4 games.
Kraft and Belichick were completely exonerated by the Wells report all you guys are hanging your hat on, yet Kraft loses a Million and Belichick a 1st and 4th rounder.
One hell of a double standard.
Brady should have gotten a game for not telling the truth. 4 is ridiculous based on what was done here (not by him btw). It will be reduced, we will see by how much.
The fine is ridiculous since Kraft didn't do anything wrong.
The draft picks are ridiculous since Belichick didn't do anything wrong.
Atleast thats what you guys read on the Wells report so it must be true right?
And why isn't Brady getting fined personally? Why is the team getting fined?
That confused me. All I read on here is that the QB would be the only one who has say over how the balls feel, yet then the team gets fined?
They should have just fined Brady whatever they felt was appropriate for the crime, not the team.
QB's all over the league says this goes on. The NFL lets them prep the balls! Maybe they should be more on top of things.

Thats my point. Why not just just suspend the guy without pay? Why add on to the team which is silly. The Wells report is gospel to all you folks, Kraft and Belichick had nothing to do with it right? So why the excess.
And as far as it says, the Organization complied with every request. The video's, the interviews, everything. Yet they still get whacked? Goodell is off his rocker.
Hard to say that with no proof. None. I'm not saying it didn't happen, it very well may have, but they still have no proof.
Remember, all you have is Walt Anderson's "best recollection". Ofcourse that is good enough for anyone who wants to see the Patriots sink, but not for any punishment to hold up.
Walt has no fucking clue where the PSI was, where the balls went, and why he allowed balls which he lost to enter the game.

They were caught cheating against the Jets, who sucked. If you're gonna cheat against weak teams, it's not exactly a stretch to imagine that you'd do so against good ones. They won all of those first 3 Superbowls by exactly a field goal(and, of course, were gifted the last one), and in the Eagle victory, some of the Eagles thought it was strange how they, the Eagles, called blitzes 5 times during the game, and 4 of the 5 times, the Patriots threw a screen pass. Anybody else, I'd shrug that off, but those scumbags don't get the benefit of the doubt from me.
