I am just curious, understand I think TB12 is the GOAT, what is Tom Brady not lying about, in your opinion, since you made that statement? Second curious question is how do you know this about our GOAT TB12, what proof do you have? Thanks
Wow....where do I start?? Ok, what proof do
you have that half the people in your neighborhood aren't serial killers? Do you have such proof? Aha! You might want to sleep with one eye open!
I think the burden of proof is on the accuser...not the accused!! What kind of country are we living in, anyways?? The biased fan bases and media bases associated with the other 31 NFL teams would have you believing that it's "our" (or TB's) responsibility to defend ourselves from accusations of guilt. So will we just bend over and let them get away with it?
I think the essential point here is that we Patriots fans base our assertions concerning TB's innocence on the following:
1) A 4 month long investigation, conducted by a leading legal company, that cost $5M, and resulted in a 243 page report....produced absolutely no evidence that TB directed the deflation of any footballs below the 12.5 psi standard, nor that he had any awareness that anyone else was deflating the balls below that level (on his behalf). This, despite the fact that the League Office was responsible for numerous leaks to help influence/shape the outcome they were looking for...plus the fact they never once corrected the fallacious media report that 11 of 12 balls were 2 psi under the minimum allowable level.
2) The report cited a text message that indicated at least one ball from the October 2014 Jets game measure in at 16 psi...
after the game was over...and that other balls were similarly over-inflated. Does this indicate that there had been a longstanding strategy in place to deflate footballs?
3) And if you now suggest that the deflation of footballs started after that particular game, I'll cite another piece of information. Why would TB arm the ball boy (McNally) with a copy of the NFL rule regarding the legal pressure for a football (12.5 - 13.5) if he was already surreptitiously ordering the deflation of footballs...or if he was planning to enact such a strategy in the future?? Why would he have called attention to himself in such a manner? And why would he even care about any particular number (i.e. 12.5, 12. 7, 13, 13.2, 13.5) if his real intent was to deflate balls well below that amount?
4) TB's longstanding and demonstrated behavior, integrity, sportsmanship, attitude, courage, etc. means a lot more than the obviously biased witch hunt (Wells Report) and the knee-jerk media opinions (from Chris Mortenson's initial lie to the present day).
