If you haven't seen one of the numerous articles about this that came out yesterday, per Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, essentially, Patriots fans were right all this time. The NFL actually did screw Tom Brady over royally over Deflategate.
According to Florio's allegations: We now know that the person who told Chris Mortensen about the 12 underinflated footballs that ended up being a lie, was NFL executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent...The same Troy Vincent who was the one who issued the 4-game punishment for Brady. So...Troy Vincent told Chris Mortensen information he knew wasn't true, and then when Mortensen reported it and it became public, he then suspends Brady for 4 games, based on that lie. And then, do you remember how the NFL was going to measure the PSI of all of the footballs used in the 2015 season at halftimes, to better understand the relationship between temperature/humidity and PSI levels? Well...wouldn't you know...turns out, the NFL deliberately destroyed all of the data they gathered that year...Why would they do that though? Remember...Tom Brady fought this to the end, taking his appeal to the United States Court of Appeals...in the Spring of 2016. IE, AFTER the NFL season in which the NFL took the measurements. Simply put, the NFL destroyed the data they gathered, so it couldn't be used against them in Court...because wouldn't you know it...EVERY SINGLE UNDERINFLATED FOOTBALL the Patriots had that day in Indianapolis, the PSI levels dropped to a range that was well within expectations of the Ideal Gas Law. If the data the NFL gathered had been known before Brady's appeal went to Court, the NFL's entire case would have completely vanished. The NFL's own investigation essentially vindicated Tom Brady and the Patriots...so they destroyed the evidence, and allowed Brady to serve a 4 game suspension, KNOWING they had railroaded him. - The principles behind the Ideal Gas Law exonerated Tom Brady. - The NFL's own gathered evidence confirmed that the Ideal Gas Law exonerated Tom Brady. - The NFL made their gathered evidence go away so Brady's defense team couldn't use it against them. If these damning allegations from Mike Florio are true, then the owners need to fire Roger Goodell and Troy Vincent immediately.
