Is Tom Brady the NFL 'Hillary'?

Oh no, this war is not over by a long shot!

Tom Brady rips the NFL's Deflategate decision on his Facebook page

Despite submitting to hours of testimony over the past 6 months, it is disappointing that the Commissioner upheld my suspension based upon a standard that it was “probable” that I was “generally aware” of misconduct. The fact is that neither I, nor any equipment person, did anything of which we have been accused. He dismissed my hours of testimony and it is disappointing that he found it unreliable.

I also disagree with yesterdays narrative surrounding my cellphone. I replaced my broken Samsung phone with a new iPhone 6 AFTER my attorneys made it clear to the NFL that my actual phone device would not be subjected to investigation under ANY circumstances. As a member of a union, I was under no obligation to set a new precedent going forward, nor was I made aware at any time during Mr. Wells investigation, that failing to subject my cell phone to investigation would result in ANY discipline.

Most importantly, I have never written, texted, emailed to anybody at anytime, anything related to football air pressure before this issue was raised at the AFC Championship game in January. To suggest that I destroyed a phone to avoid giving the NFL information it requested is completely wrong.

Anything resembling constant Hillary memes here? Oh yes, indeed!

Take that, haters!

1. TB12 GOAT. This faux scandal is the Benghazi of the NFL.

Neither Tom Brady nor anyone in the Patriots organization did anything wrong. The NFL created a fake scandal through their ignorance of science as it relates to PSI in footballs, coupled with their biased testing of the air pressure. The NFL hired a trusted lawyer (not impartial) Ted Wells to do the investigation, in turn they hired the very same scientific testing company that found that second-hand smoke did not cause cancer. It could be called a calamity of errors except I don't belief it was errors, rather, it was intentional. Ted Wells delivered the bogus results which his employer wanted.
This whole dog and pony show is a lot like the Benghazi boondogle perpetrated by republicans.

2. According to Goddell, destroying evidence tipped the scale.

In politics destroying evidence is not a crime, it is nothing more than expected behavior. (Unless you are a Republican, then it's a crime.) In the NFL it seems to be a crime. Gooddell says that Brady ordering his cell phone to be destroyed was the deciding factor because it was destroying the cell phone that betrayed his knowledge of and participation the issue of his flabby balls.

3. Brady is the 'Hillary'!

Guilt is not associated with evidence.

Guilt is associated with conjecture, speculation, and innuendo in the absence of evidence!

Thank you for proving my point!

4. Which was my intention.

Everyone reacts to public figures based on their predujuces regarding that public figure.

Thus my toungue-in-cheek parenthetical remark about "unless you're a Republican..." on the "Democratic Underground" and the reference to "flabby balls."

I keep trying to inject humor into discussions, which is an exercise in futility in an absolutly humorless environmnet.
