Ok, there are several things that are driving me crazy about the Deflategate talk recently.
First, all the people who dismissed any discussion of the Wells report covering up a sting operation as just wack job conspiracy talk are now leading the charge of "Wells had far more on the Patriots and the Brady but left it out to protect them and after Goodell showed it to Kraft, Kraft backed down". Seriously?!? The Wells report was a hatched job with twisted facts and flimsy evidence to get the Patriots and Brady.
If Goodell had more, why would he have Wells hold it back? It would have silenced the increasing number of critics of Wells and Goodell who feel the punishment doesn't fit the crime. It just makes no sense that they would hold anything back when it was clear that the Wells Report wanted to find the Patriots guilty. Now if you say they held back information about how Anderson and his crew and the NFL front office acted, I could believe it because they all come off looking like choir boys in the report.
Second, I am tired of people saying "I don't know what it is, but I know Brady knew something and they did something to those balls". What? Either they deflated the footballs or not. Either Brady knew or not. Either Brady gave the order or not. It is pretty simple.
People are convinced that Brady is guilty and since there is no evidence that he is guilty other than him actually not being willing to give over his text messages, they need to make up something in their minds. This is the problem.
