I think it it exactly as everyone expects. The most likely scenario is what the evidence supports. Unfortunately, without one of the equipment managers rolling over or a camera in a public bathroom there will be no way to say "without a doubt" what happened. Brady and Kraft will continue to look like idiots trying to spin what they can.
In the end the NFL is the real idiots in letting teams have their own footballs. f the prima dona QB's. Make them all play with the same footballs and only be controlled by NFL officials.

Gotta be suspensions, because from the text message history it is clearly not a one time thing. If I'm the Ravens I'm absolutely livid. I'd say 4 games for Brady and Bellicheck will get something. I know the report doesn't implicate him, but Rich McKay in Atlanta didn't know about the piped in noise and he still got hit. Cleveland's GM got suspended 4 games for texting someone on the sidelines during a game. This is bigger than that.
You can't compare suspending the GM to suspending the head coach and quarterback. There will be a fine and maybe a late round draft pick lost, but Brady and Belichick will be out there week 1. Maybe they suspend the equipment manager or something. The sting thing is bullshit, this is a self inflicted wound by the league, which had the opportunity to call this out and prevent it from happening (unlike the Falcons or the Browns situations).
Anyway, nothing Brady did or didn't do will ever measure up to Peyton Manning having his boss LITERALLY CHANGE THE RULES because he was so butthurt about losing to the Patriots over and over again. Because let's be real, however you feel about Deflategate is simply a litmus test on where you stand in Brady/Manning, no one's mind was changed by this in any way shape or form.

Those incidents unequivocally prove that Eli is the best quarterback of this era. Can't spell Elite without E-L-I.Giants wrote:You can't compare suspending the GM to suspending the head coach and quarterback.
