There is no proof that brady deflated footballs. Or instructed anyone to deflate footballs
and why doesn't anyone ever talk about how the colts also had under inflated balls
Such a terrible look for the NFL. Trying to make an example out of Brady. After all he has done for the game of football. He's not just the best QB of all time, he's the greatest football player of all time.
I don't care if you hate the patriots, idk how fans of football can be ok with the NFL completely destroying Brady's reputation.
Welcome to Goodelland. Been this way since he took over for Tagliabue. Goodell is one of those men of such incompetence and corruption that he is indelibly gauranteed his lifetime appointment at the head of the table of any organization as ultra-corporate as the NFL.
It's why he gets boo'd offstage (not that he ever actually takes the hint and goes off) of every NFL Draft he takes place in.
So many bad decisions. From making an issue out and over-suspending for player's off-field behavior issues which nobody gave a shit about (often penalizing players who were either aquitted of or no longer charged with breaking some law, guilty by virtue of having been charged with something at some point by his logic), to penalizing on-field celebration and acts of showmanship which were universally enjoyed by both players and fans, to contunuing (or more accurately, doubling down on) the NFL's longstanding tradition of denying the existence of and/or covering up Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, to mishandling the disciplinary situations where
he actually had reason to get involved, and to generally or downright comically simply fucking up everything he touches. He was made for this shit. Built to be the figurehead of a multinational corporation. A laboratory itself couldn't have done it any better.
As for Brady, I'm glad he is suspended. Although fair enough my satisfaction with the situation comes purely out of being a Dolphins fan and a rabid and irrational homer at that, rather than from any place of truth or honor.
Also, Brady's reputation is fine. He's always been known as a cheater and an asshole; nothing changes. Belicheck and the Patriots are cheating assholes too. At the end of the day this doesn't matter, because history will remember them for winning four Superbowls and smashing every passing record there is, and all the cheating stuff will only be a footnote that nobody gives a shit about.
Ultimately, the Patriots won because they had more talent and better coaching than their opposition, and I highly doubt all the cheatey and underhanded shit they have done even figured into the result. The cheating is just there as an accountrement to frame their generally unsportsmanlike and scumbaggish personalities.
