Tom Curran: Don Yee said that Wells told the Brady camp they did not want his phone

Rob0729 · Jul 29, 2015

Listening to Curran on Florio's PFT broadcast. He said he talked Don Yee for an half an hour. Yee said when Brady told Wells that he would not turn over the phone, Wells' response was that they did not want his phone and only information from it. So "destroying" the cell phone was never a big deal in Brady's and Yee's eyes because Wells supposedly never wanted to see the cell phone.

Also, Yee told Curran that they didn't trust Wells with the information because we see how he twisted texts with Jastremski and McNally and that since he was a high profile person beyond just being a QB that he was concerned someone would leak what could be used for the gossip pages.

Curran said an article with notes from the full conversation will be up later today.

this is good to hear, spread the word

Makes total sense.

patriot1136 · Jul 29, 2015

any chance we will hear from Brady's lawyer (Kessler?) too?

Would have liked to see this made available immediately after the "destruction" revelation instead of days afterwards.

Do you think Yee, Brady, Kessler, etc. were just sitting by the phone waiting for the NFL to drop this bombshell to issue responses? My guess is none of them thought this was a big deal until the League spun it that way.

Yee: you can't have the phone
Wells: I don't want the phone itself, just information from it
Yee: ok well, we don't trust you with the words said, and we have no obligation to give you anything from the phone, but here's a list of all communications Brady has had in the last 4 months
Goodell: Brady destroyed his phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Guilty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well..personally , we have said all this from yee before including the notes he took in the room. Hopefulyl he releases all that info instead of continuing just this PR battle via the media. Yee needs show some data now other than just plain voice.

These guys are in the business to expect such things, no?

I would hope that they have all of their notes easily accessible in a text file so, how long might it take to open said file up and toss it up? A minute or two. Certainly not hours!

It seems to me Brady's guys have been late to the punch the entire process.

I do agree that Brady's team of Kessler & Co have been outmaneuvered by the league's lawyers/advisors on the cell phone brouhaha. It's their job to anticipate and counter before the issue goes viral.

They why tell them you destroyed the phone????

Why tell them anything about the phone that was NEVER going to be turned over????

Brady is an absolute fool for mentioning it in any way and has done permanent damage to his reputation because of it. A naive fool.

He gift wrapped the rope Goodell used to hang him with yesterday.
Unbelievable!!!!

To be fair, it's hard to anticipate something when it's completely misrepresented and in as loud of terms possible.

If I walk by a graveyard, and you call me a mass murderer, am I supposed to anticipate that?

The constant moving of the goal posts is the annoying part. First it's football deflation, when that falls through, it's that he didn't cooperate. To prove this they say we just asked for data from his phone not the phone itself so that's the reason for the punishment. Then it comes out they offered that, and it's oh no, he's punished for not giving the phone. I have no doubt if they gave him his phone they'd have a new justification.

If Brady tossed away a pair of boots it would be proof he was hiding something and the boots must be full of needles and a hand written letter confessing his crimes.

Especially so considering it's been happening since day 1 of this fiasco. At some point you would hope that they figure it out and suitably counter.

You might not but certainly your legal team should.

Maybe he told them the phone broke. It's a great reason for why you can't provide information they want. And it has the added bonus of being the truth.

As painful as this has been the last 24 hours, you can already see the change in the NFL's attempt at controlling the narrative. Yesterday was the NFL's day. Today, while they still have the upper hand, we are seeing some significant cracks in their wall. This will only continue to occur until that wall comes down.

I think the reality is that we are witnessing the beginning of the end of the NFL as we know it, just as Mark Cuban to predicted. When the league office becomes as corrupt as this one is, and the ownership becomes so Self-interested, along with all the true scandals like criminal players, substance abusers, and concussion issues, the game is in true jeopardy, Little by little the talent pool will shrink, along with the fans who are turned off by all this crap. Brady's case is the tipping point IMHO.
