Cardinals fan here -- I've been trolling these boards for updates for a while and finally wanted to chime in with my unbiased third party opinion (sorry if this gets too lengthy). For starters, when I heard about the footballs being "under inflated" and that allegedly the Colts reported it when they intercepted a ball and measured it, I thought two things -- 1) Ideal Gas Law and 2) Why were the Colts allowed to measure the psi. When I mentioned the IGL to my buddy he was like "I highly doubt they were dumb enough to not factor that in" and he thought someone cheated.
Then the "incriminating texts" leaked and I didn't understand how Brady seemed guilty from them. Paraphrased obviously, but how did "yeah Brady was pissed -- the ball was inflated outside the legal limit" and "He wants it at 12.5" even mildly make him seem guilty? The only text I thought had any sketchiness to it was the "Brady brought you up, said you must be stressed to get them done" when Brady said he didn't know who McNally was. That might be the one thing I think Brady
could have lied about (knowing who McNally was), but either way don't see how it matters because "getting them done" could have meant a number of things, including legally getting them done right..
The Wells investigation came out and I just thought it was a joke. A bunch of BS assumptions that hurt the Patriots and helped the Colts. Every time I explain the BS of it to people I know, they respond with something along the lines of "how is this even a case...." But anyways I'll just wrap this up and say it's completely absurd to me that Brady is suspended at all based on the evidence, and I'm rooting for you guys. And I can guarantee plenty of other fans who disagree now would grab their pitchforks if this happened to their team. Lastly, just throwing this in as a side note...nobody likes the Ravens
