I don't think the media is "coming around" at all. 90% of the hosts and guests on 98.5 WANT to believe Brady "cheated" and the coach & owner were complicit. But as more and more facts are released from the team and more and more national media types are taking a step back and reassessing their initial views, we have the "just admit it from the beginning" angle.
Also, we're starting to hear the 98.5 types complaining that "it's getting to be too much." What, it wasn't too much when it was "more likely than not" that Brady knew what was going on? It's too much reading, it's too much to analyze...blah, blah, blah...
I'm sure the Brady in Decline show will have more smarmy anti-Patriots analysis of the McNally timeline highlighted in the emails the Pats released over the weekend.
Unrelated to the deflation, but if you've ever watched the CSN post game with Felger you can see right through his act. Pats can beat Buffalo 40-10 and all they talk about is how much Buffalo sucks. Pats win a close one 23-17 over a good team, and they focus on the one bad pick Brady might've thrown and "Brady can't do that in the playoffs!" is the mantra.
Another favorite of Felger and his minions is whenever Gronkowski has a big game - "just cover him! no one covers him!" Uhhh....it might be because he's the best TE in the league, with the best QB, and best game planners and play designers in the league that Gronkowski goes 7-110 & 2 TDs - NOT because the other team SUCKS and doesn't cover him....
