People have their narratives that they want to follow and see in this report. Each side is going to stick to their guns.
volin's playing both sides.
so mcnally was known as the " deflator " because he wanted to lose weight? can this circus just end already. that sounds outrageous!
Can someone on Twitter Tweet this link to Volin:

They explain on the website that it was agreed to that every person would be interviewed once barring exceptional circumstances.
SI's Andrew Brandt asks an IMHO very reasonable question -- if Jastremski's and McNally's behavior are as innocent as the rebuttal claims it is, why did NE indefinitely suspend them even before the NFL punishment came down?
Bert Breer doesn't buy it, shockingly.
It was reported they were both suspended without pay by the Patriots on May 6th. Why?

Exactly. The main objective is to provide context, rebuttal and refute claims made in the Wells Report so to serve as an acceptable, plausible baseline for future legal action.That's why the media doesn't matter at this point. At this point, it's all preparation for the appeal and the court case. Personally, I think this response was a bad idea, but this may have been something Kraft felt was important as some kind of "this is what happened" to the other owners.
Their explanation of that does seem a bit ridiculous, but who the hell knows. The texts really don't look that great for the Pats no matter how they're spun.FWIW the general public at least on twitter seems to not buy the pats explanation of 'deflator' word for someone losing weight and seem to be mocking patriots explanation.
Here is a reasonable response.
If Jast and McNally were deflating footballs for Brady, why would the Patriots risk antagonizing them?
Wouldn't ticking those two off all but drive them to an ESPN expose?
All along they've tried to manipulate the testimony and science to support a pre conceived judgement of guilty. Thats why this took so long, they had nothing to work with.Their whole argument rests on the assumption that the Patriots are lying. They will look terrible if they have to walk back that assumption. Better to double-down on their stupidity than admit that they were wrong.

Swinging the media around would be a bonus.
The league coerced the Pats to do it and threatened them with more sanctions if they did not.Here is a reasonable response.
