Need to vent for a moment. I probably need to step away for a few days as following the last couple days has made my blood boil.
But if you sit down and think about it, there is actually more evidence that is irrefutable that the league intentionally smeared the Pats then there is that there was any artificial deflation of footballs.
"Evidence the balls were deflated"
1. Balls PSI dropped to levels consistent with ideal Gas law
2. Some "Dorito Dink" tells another guy to deflate so someone can have his jacket.
3. Oh yeah, and Brady didn't want to give up his personal cell phone which he was told he would never be required to give up. And given the integrity of the league who could blame him.
Evidence League smearing the Pats
1. League Leaked False PSI readings to the Public (proven fact)
2. League refused to correct those even when BEGGED by the Patriots (proven fact)
3. Roger Goodell BLATANTLY Lies in his response as to why he rejected Brady's appeal (Proven fact. Now we know why the league did not want the appeal transcripts to go public).
4. League never even realized that temperature had an effect on ball inflation (Ok, this one is merely showing they are stupid, but still)
None of the "Evidence the balls were deflated" is actually evidence of anything. To someone who has prejudged a desired outcome, sure you can make it fit your narrative. But for an objective observer, you could not even say "there is not enough evidence" as that would suggest you actually had ANY evidence. There is NO evidence.
The stuff the League has done by contrast is pretty damning and not in the least circumstantial.
Anyway, just needed to vent.
Im sure I have left out A LOT.
