In a vacuum?
I'm actually doing the complete opposite.
In a vacuum, the "deflator" moniker is proof enough to punish Brady.
But we're not in a vacuum.
There is an allegation, and an investigation.
The investigation is where the league fails. Because the math doesn't add up. The balls are only low if you ignore the referee's "Best recollection" about which pressure gauge he used pre-game. The same ref that is afforded accolades for his honesty, and is completely believed when he said the Pats balls were 12.5 and the Colts were 13.0.
In a vacuum, we don't need any proof, just accusations.
But in reality, for Brady to be guilty, there has to be a crime.OJ isn't guilty if Nicole is not murdered.
Show me that the balls were too low and we can talk about Brady's involvement.
Because the data in the Well's report is insulting to anyone who understands documentation.
As for the leagues actions? The NFL doesn't (or didn't) hate the Pats. That's paranoia by Patriot Nation.
This is simply a commissioner who has failed to do the right thing time after time, and needs to prove he is right at any expense. Because even if Brady secretly told Goodell he cheated, and then banged his wife, there is no excuse for the excessive penalty on the team and the player. But this is a separate discussion.
