Before the NFL decides to punish anyone for this stupid air pressure fiasco, they should take a good hard look in the mirror.
1. The NFL office has more leaks than the Titanic. How does this help anything they are trying to "investigate"? Why would anyone voluntarily turn over their cell phones to the NFL when the history is that things get leaked allover the place? Why not investigate leaks and fire those people who are leaking?
2. If the integrity of the game and fair competition is so important to the NFL, why do they allow competing teams personnel to have control of the game balls? After the NFL game officials have control shouldn't they stay in control of some NFL official? A billion+ $ organization too cheap to pony up a few thousand $ to have a ball official?
3. If the game ball pressure is so important why not send a memo to all teams, stating the some teams have sent concerns about the pressure and that it's going to monitored? How does playing a game of "got ya" help out the NFL?
4. If the pressure of the balls and the rules pertaining to the game balls are so important, why did you let teams heat the balls on the sidelines, in full camera view, and do nothing about that?
The NFL needs to clean up their own house before punishing teams and players for these kind of "infractions". And if they want full cooperation from people during an investigation, they need to stop leaks and fire leakers.
All those things that I mentioned can and probably will be used as a defense for Brady if a suspension is given. And you in the media, why don't you go on a full court press with the NFL about those things, instead of always harping on the low hanging fruit?
Now that I got that off my chest, I'll go do yard work.
