Big surprise there. People who hate Tom Brady and the Pats don't believe him. LOL

Ya I mean really those people had their minds made up the second this thing broke back in January, they are a lost cause. Hell their mind was made up in 2007. I don't care about their opinion.

These are the same people that when you ask them if they think Aaron Rodgers cheats too. They say no. Yet the guy submits illegally overinflated footballs and tries to get them past refs. Which we know how lax the protocols are, so how often do you think Rodgers gets those footballs in play? I'd say probably 80-90% of the time or he wouldn't continually do it.

Sadly the narrative wont change how much ever genuine he is. Just need to look at the comments here.

Why do you continue concerning yourself and us with information that we ALL are aware of? Does it help to keep informing us how no one else believes Tom?

I stopped reading comments sections and negative articles (which most are at this point). Trust me it feels better than to depress yourself with it.

Brady fighting this to the end and it's great to see if your innocent do anything in your power to clear your name. I still can't believe majority of the country have no regard about a person's privacy he told the NFL they were not going to get his phone whatever he wanted to do with it after its his business alone no one else's yet people feel the NFL is entitled to have their hands on his phone that's when I know the NFL played it brilliantly in the publoc opinion side of things. Doesn't matter though people who hate the Patriots have always seen them as cheaters and nothing will change that perception

You did just read his statement, didn't you?

He didn't "destroy" it, and only replaced it after consulting his legal team.

In conclusion - he's about to tear the NFL a new one. Goodell must get the sack for this - for the "integrity of the game", if nothing else...

and don't forget, he gave them the relevant texts.

Has their been anyone's behavior more repulsive than Albert Breer and Ben Volin in all this? Their Richards are so effing hard right now ... All you need to do is read Breer's twitter for maybe 3 seconds, and come to the conclusion that he is such a PR Machine .. Wow.. No professionalism

I gave up on Breer a long time ago, but he works for the NFL Network so his loyalty is clear. Don't expect unbiased reporting out of him.

I think I just figured out what Brady is going to do after his NFL playing career: NFL Commissioner.

Brady's just gonna take the NFL to court, embarrass Goodell, get him fired and then the seat will be open for him to take after this season when he wins his fifth Super Bowl championship!

We'll see a Jewish Pope before we see the owners vote in a guy that involved with the Players Association as the Commissioner.

What "no counter offer" from the NFL. So reports of reduced suspension, leaked from the offices to suggest there was negotiation, was just another propaganda stunt? Why am I not surprised?

Part of me hates that he used FB as way of explaining his position. I understand it. It's light. Hes comfortable with it. It's personal and very human and not massaged by PR experts...IE...its in his own words....I get it and it's the right approach.

However, part of me wants Brady to channel 1980 Ronald Reagan in a press conference and put the NFL on notice in a very public way.

If Brady did a press conference, he'd have to take questions. The last time he did a PC on this topic he got questions like, "what about the children Tom?" We don't want that again. The FB post was the way to go.

Yeah and I feel that his reactions to the questions would be taken out of context and twisted as him being guilty by the media.

so where is the samsung? Tom said he replaced it, but I would have liked more clarification. Did he throw it in the trash, recycle, take a hammer to it? I realize he can do what he wants with it, but explaining in more detail would maybe turned more to his side. Goodell said destroyed, countering with replacing is a little soft IMO.

Thats the irony. No one in the nfl was every going to see his cellphone so whether he destroyed it or not does not matter anyway especally now that he clarifies that he spoke to the attorneys abt it. But that point is largely lost. Everyone wanted to see the cellphone ,citizen rights be damned because it is not them.

OT thought on unexpected winners and losers today: Samsung ↓ and Apple iPhone ↑. He probably could have gotten a little kick back if he'd said he got an iWatch.

yup and I think Belichick respected him in the same way he respects Reiss. But Bert went national and decided to sh*t on the Patriot way. Now BB seems to barely tolerate him.

Yep thats why I said it was the right approach. Hes not Ronald Reagan. He can't control a room and can't control the narrative.

I knew that there was more to the story yesterday when i read what that lying piece of **** goodell said. He knew the media would key in on 'destroyed his phone'. Goodell knows once something is put out there its much harder to refute, its done all the time in politics.

I really love BB. I just love that man.

This is the response that Brady needed to make. David Deihl and Bob Papa were reading this on air and were pretty strongly supporting Brady. Deihl was making the point that Brady, as a private citizen, does not have to give his phone over to the NFL nor would he want to since he has a supermodel wife that probably sends him pictures via text.

I'm going to use the "But Gisele sent me private pics by text" out if I ever have my cellphone subpoenaed.

For people who are still asking why Brady refused to hand over his phone or why he would destroy an old phone, today there is a story in the tabloids about his wife possibly having secret breast augmentation surgery. I'm not going to link to the article. This is just a rumor and a private matter and yet it's on the front page of a highly read tabloid. Every minor personal matter in his life and much more so his wife's life becomes huge world wide news. He has legitimate concerns over his privacy that normal people do not.

Look at all the low life, petty, bitter scum in the comments, with thousands of other miserable losers 'liking' some of each other's posts. These type of people are a cancer to the enjoyment of professional sports.

I'm proud that Brady is fighting the machine. Go TB!

dan patrick on his show started about how the NFL was concerned about winning the PR battle with the destroyed phone where in fact he says he just replaced a broken phone . Calling about the NFL leaks and ita pro nfl and pro commish day because of the PR win they created.
