Deflategate Investigation: Complete ... Awaiting Report.

no doubt Brady should Be gone a min of 6 games. Any reduction would be a joke and this league would officially become a joke

It officially became a joke a while back......it will be just a BIGGER joke if it is reduced.
 
Look, I am cool with 4 games... a standard steroid suspension is 4 and while he was on the team for spygate, this is his first personal suspension...

I don't know. It seems tampering with footballs after the refs inspected them has nothing to compare to drugs use in my opinion. Especially if this has been going on for a long time frame. The Pats**** scored another trophy. So what ever their punishment is it will be we worth it. I think every team out there would take what they got(Pats**** punishment) for a trophy. A slap on the wrist really.
 
Here's the interesting part. Godell is the arbitrator. Brady's team did a great job saying they wanted Godell to testify, which would have made him ineligible to judge due to a conflict of interest.

For him to dismiss his request to testify, it keeps him in the drivers seat and keeps the heat where it belongs, on the pats and brady. Also with him serving, he will probably uphold the ruling of 4 games. I personally think they should force Brady to apologize, but since Bellycheat never officially apologized for Spygate, I'm not holding my breath...
 
you would die a miserable death Cope. Those ******** will never admit to anything. Hell their owner demanded an apology for ***** sake. **** THE *'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
The scheme is to get this thrown into a neutral arbitrator who hopefully has less league ties so they can misdirection them out of the real issues at hand... if they can bamboozle a judge into thinking of this case in criminal law terms, then downplay the deflation evidence, or even better play precedence cases while downplaying that there hasn't been players from a team caught multiple times trying to cheat while pushing the fines and warnings other teams and players have gotten for first time offenses they may weasel out of this.

Anyone form the league has records of the previous warnings, plus spygate and all the boundary pushing they have done elsewhere and are treating it as a continuation of an issue, not a stand alone problem.
 
Part of the investigation determined that the bathroom she claimed it happened in wasnt physically big enough for two people to do what she claimed and how she claimed. that was done with math and physics. Thus science called her a liar... and there was no evidence at all in that particular case... yet a 4 game suspension was doled out...

i might also note that forensics is a science (well to most people) and that found a total absense of proof of the claim...

There you go using facts again...the shame of it all. My favorite aspect of the deflation was the natural causes thing and if so did the footballs have too pee or was there some other reason for them being in the bathroom?

There is no scandel here, just plain hard science. But there I go again acting like a typical Massachusetts Liberal talking about Science.* What will I do next?* Suggest that man evolved from apes? * But alas, yes we are all ancestors of the apes.* All except for Tom Brady that is, who G*d himself struck in his own image, put a bolt of lightning in his right arm, and sent him forth to lead the New England Patriots to Football Greatness!!!

G*d bless You, G*d bless America, and G*d bless the New England Patriots.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA - that's rich!!!

I'm sure you feel the same way about Ben, that is if you can get past the whole Rape thing. Honestly, Ray Rice get's 2 games for definitely punching his wife, and Ben get's 6 games for allegedly Raping someone, and TB gets for 4 games and 1million$ for maybe doctoering some balls? come on, the whole system is out of whack.

If the MF could spell like he "spews chyt" he'd be dangerous...

You should kindly remind him of one Julian Edelman who was arrested and charged with sexual assault at a Halloween party. People forget this because, being a Patriot, he wasn't suspended a single play.
 
Peter King has an interview with an angry and defiant Kraft in today's MMQB. More or less Kraft says "No smoking gun, Tommy would never lie, no comment on all the circumstantial evidence."

Must of been his first offense....because you know if it was his second the tarnish on the SHIELD would of made Goodell throw the book at him.
 
Has Mike Florio had any comment on the subject?
 
Has Mike Florio had any comment on the subject?

Florio has been pretty open minded to both sides.

He has been one of the leading proponents that doesn't attack the science of the report but the very odd (and wide variation) the two different gauges measure the balls and the fact the Colts balls were "rushed" at the end of halftime and only ended up measuring 4.

I've said from the very beginning of this whole situation, the science in this case is very, very wishy-washy. There just isn't enough data of any sort to definitively say "This is scientifically true or this is not scientifically true". That's why I've been pro-Patriot when it comes to the science argument.

That said, I am completely ANTI-Patriot on this issue when it comes to the text message trail of evidence that certainly implies that some sort of shenanigans with the ball were discussed, planned and executed by the ball boys to make Tom Brady happy and Tom Brady seems to know (and he doesn't have to know everything to be guilty) enough to "payoff" the guys when the ball was a bit soft.

And the testimony of McNally in the bathroom (when he says he used a urinal when no urinal exists) is also damning.

The science isn't good evidence. Never has been.

The interviews, the text messages, the video tape of McNally going to the bathroom, the fact the balls "disappeared" early.... that is what makes me thing the Patriots are guilty.

LOL delusional sap -- who calls a 36 year old man Tommy.
 
Sounds like Rog and Kraft are going to be doing some behind closed doors deals this week with their punishments. I fully expect Rog to cave. He won't wipe everything out but I expect Brady to get no more than 2 games and the Cheatriots to get their number 1 pick back.
 
Ginger will cave and the Pats will be given a high compensatory pick in the next draft.
 
Well as long as this circus shlit keeps up, the demise of the nfl keeps happening. This demise has started long ago, but really is gaining speed. What ever happened to the good O'l "honest" days? An honest days work for an honest days wages? t*mmy b*y wouldn't even grasp that statement.... N'or the h**die !!!!!!!! Until integrity / honesty / fairness / streucture / are restored, this POS nfl is declining faster than the p*ts can scramble radio signals.......

Wouldn't surprise me at all. And all the sports media heads will go back to slurping Belicheat's schlong just like they did after spygate.
