My favorite quote:
"The AJA 5 could ask Tom Brady if agreeing to be interviewed in Deflategate did him any good. The best Ted Wells’ $5 million investigation could come up with was it was “more probable than not” that Brady was at least “generally aware” of what was going on. Brady was interviewed by Wells but didn’t turn over his cell phone and it was later revealed he destroyed it. He did subsequently turn over all his cell phone records. Goodell would have cut Brady’s suspension down to two games at his appeal hearing last June if he didn’t find out Brady did the same to his phone as Goodell did to the Spygate tapes. But the most telling item that came out of the Deflategate court appearances that eventually led to Brady’s four-game suspension being reinstated came in the first round that Brady won last summer. That’s when an NFL attorney admitted to the judge the league had no concrete evidence to prove Brady took part in deflating the footballs or knew anything about it. Goodell, in effect, had found him guilty in a very compelling game of connect the dots.
"Can the rest of the AJA 5 trust their reputations won’t take the beating Brady’s has if they agree to be interviewed?"
Can't wait for the MCI and the CHB to write something as critical of the Omissioner.
