That's right. He has to ask Brady point blank if Jastremski and/or McNally told him that they had done something against the rules during the long phone conversation or during the meeting in the QB room.
Brady has to hold Goodell's gaze as he's asking the question, look him right in the eye and answer without missing a beat. I'm assuming that the true answer is "no" because if Brady goes to court either or both of those two guys could be asked the same question under oath.
I honestly think that the truth is that Brady put a lot of pressure on those guys to have the game balls the way he liked them but that he never told them to do anything against the rules. Whether or not they went too far and did something they shouldn't have done is another matter. The "right" science seems to suggest that, on the day in question, they did not, but Wells' science suggests otherwise.
That's why how Brady answers that and a couple of other questions is what today is all about. Kessler, McPhee, Yee and Wells are all just window dressing unless and until this gets to Court.
