First, he says Brady must settle and cave a bit on something he MAY NOT HAVE EVEN DONE:
".....
Yee summed up Brady’s thought process as such: “If there is something reasonable — even though I know I didn’t do anything wrong — if there has to be an olive branch offered so I can play for the fans, my teammates, and coaches, that’s really what I want to do.
That seems pragmatic. But this has become a crusade for Patriotologists and ceding any ground to the NFL is blasphemy."
THEN:
He says that Mortensen should NOT GIVE IN to protect his misinforming source:
3. ESPN NFL reporter Chris Mortensen, who backed out of a WEEI interview last week, did himself no favors in a meandering ESPN Radio interview on Monday. But the over-the-top ire aimed at Mortensen seems to be a classic case of shooting the media messenger. Did Mort report bad info saying 11 of the 12 Patriots footballs from the AFC Championship game were 2 PSI below regulation? Absolutely. Should he have corrected his report? Undoubtedly. But trying to shame Mortensen into revealing the source of his erroneous information is exactly what many think Deflategate is — a revenge-fueled witch hunt.
OK, Mr. and Mrs. Gasper, you have brought up a son who declares that someone who has not been proven to have done ANYTHING regarding football deflation should accept punishment in order to make this "go away" and that the parties who used false information in order to fuel this witchhunt should be 100% protected.
That's a twisted moral compass.
