I still don't like the references to the "troubling" text messages. Florio has been pretty good, but he is still a sucker to the text messages. I've said it before and I will say it again, it is not difficult to cherry pick from a year's worth of text messages of a guy who prepares footballs for a living to tell a story about football preparation.

The only one of the text messages that struck me as remotely incriminating was the (paraphrasing) "Brady better get me my stuff or else his passer rating will be the only thing deflating on Sunday" one.I never understood how the one about "getting them done" (sent during the week) can be seen as incriminating. It is understood that QBs have balls prepared the way the want before the game. What kind of subterfuge could have been going on during the week before the balls are inspected?

It was not just Jast and McNally, I know Brady also asked to them to do whatever they can to get the ball where he wants them. A little needle in the ball to let a few air out. This was not a federal case.I still think that's its possible that there was an understanding between Jast and McNally that if the refs didn't follow Brady's instructions and pumped the balls higher than 12.5 that they would themselves bring it down to 12.5 afterwards. Explains the text messages and why Brady was so pissed off that the refs kept screwing him by giving him over inflated balls. The fact that Brady himself took the page of the rulebook to the refs because they kept over inflating the balls may have convinced him that if he wanted to actually get the balls the way he legally wanted he'd have to have his own guys make sure they're right. All Brady had to do was at some point say "Jast, just make sure I get the damn balls at 12.5" and because no one before deflate gate gave a f.uck about PSI they did what they needed to do.
But that's just a theory, I wouldn't bet on it or anything. Either way Brady did absolutely nothing wrong.
