Stephen A Smith: Brady's suspension to be upheld, Brady destroyed cell phone

Stephen A. Smith reporting live and direct from New York City on first take. You really think that this would just be coming out 6 months later? Like it goes from "he wouldn't turn over his phone" to "he destroyed his own phone"? And this NFL has waited this long to leak it? lol

It doesn't matter. The same things from yesterday still hold true: no way Brady ordered a ball boy to deflate footballs a miniscule amount in the bathroom. Did. Not. Happen.

Science. It's not called the ideal Gas LAW for no reason.

Text messages are stored for about two to three days tops on any server, so destroying his phone would have been useless. All he had to do is delete the messages.

Anyone with half a brain uses an encryption ap that encrypts the texts on both end and does not store them anywhere for any length of time.

Smith must have enough drug dealing friends to know this...

I wonder if Smith heard it wrong and the destroyed cell phones were from the NFL* offices.

steven A has connections within the NFL office. didn't he "predict" a 4 game suspension?

2-3 days? Wasn't that a text message between the dinks regarding the over inflated balls from October?

That would have been long gone.

It's not hard to make a estimated guess like that.

It's not like his wireless carrier has that all stored on their servers if they really wanted it. He wasn't using a burner.

I am assuming that TB12 did not destroy his cell phone.

I am assuming that Wells was unable to covertly retrieve messages from TB12's phone and he is concluding that he destroyed his phone. The NFL is taking what Wells said as gospel.

I am assuming that TB12 is sharpening his sword.

it makes no sense.......he could just throw it in his nightstand drawer

all relevant messages would have been on the other phones they got

as for messages to/from giselle about what an effing ahole roger is, they are not relevant and the league has no standing to demand them.........

if this goes down the street with only the cell phone and the messages as the evidence, someone should be beaten severely for the time that has been wasted

The thing is how would anyone know Brady destroyed his cellphone? If he did, he certainly wouldn't have told Goodell that. Sounds like NFL spin for him refusing to give up the cell phone if the report is true.

Mort reporting Brady destroyed 11 out of his 12 cell phones ............

If this is lies from the NFL Office I have lost any shred of respect I still had for that farce of an organization.

Spin (read: lies) coming from the NFL's media arm, nothing more. No shame in Bristol...Sal Pal, Mort, Smith, their on-air 'personalities' calling Brady a liar. Just more of the same, and I'm sure this is a targeted release of 'information' coming ahead of a ruling (i.e. don't expect a reduction in the penalty, this is going to court). Much like everything else we've heard in this story it's either misinformation/spin or an outright lie.

It's incredible the length's the NFL will go to protect their own asses, zero integrity and honesty from a league that demands it from the stars that make them so much money. Brady's the best in the game, perhaps the best to ever throw a football in the league, and they'll roll right over him to protect their own asses. What a joke.

I agree, it would make no sense at all for Brady to destroy his phone. Wells wanted the phone, Brady said no. Why would Brady then destroy the phone? Was Brady worried that the NFL was going to send some goons to forcefully wrestle the phone from him?

I'm guessing that this is yet another PR spin move by the NFL/ESPN

those were stored on their phones. What I'm saying is that if you delete a text message on your phone, your carrier only keeps them for about 2-3 days. They dedicate only so much RAM on their servers and every two to three days they begin to write over the previously stored data.

So because they had the dinks phones, they already had copies of all the communication between them and Brady. This is ridiculous, more BS being put out there by the NFL..

Remember this is the same network that brought you 11 of the 12 footballs were at 10 PSI.....

the point being missed here is that brady doesn't need to destroy the phone......all he has to do is say 'no' when they ask for it

the league wanted to fish around for messages to people not within the reach of the NFL......tough ****, can't have them, see you in court

I didn't expect the punishment to be changed. This is the NFL! Did anyone really believe they would go thru all this, just to back out of it in the end?
If the NFL has proven anything about it's operation, it is that they never, ever, change. Let the slandering begin!

This has reached critical mass.
