Six months after the NFL apparently leaked false information to Chris Mortensen of ESPN regarding the PSI readings for 11 of 12 Patriots footballs used in the AFC title game, the NFL expertly leaked true information to Stephen A. Smith of ESPN regarding the allegation that Patriots quarterback Tom Brady “destroyed his cellphone.”
Smith broke the news (sort of) four hours before the Brady ruling was issued, priming the pump for the headline that the NFL wanted the court of public opinion to be repeating like a sitcom catch phrase: “Tom Brady destroyed his cellphone.”

Florio.
Thoughts:
When a Spygate thumping Steeler fan as prominent as Florio is repeatedly on our side, it brings me back to reality, where Tom Brady's legacy as the GOAT will be completely fine. People worried about this **** take internet homer-trolling too seriously. The NFL Films will tell the story. Tom Brady, with 4 rings, 6 Superbowl games and 9 AFC Championship appearances, is just too prominent in our era. With those kinds of championship games, 2001~OnGoing can accurately be called "the Tom Brady era." It's just too dominant a quarterback presence in the biggest games for the sport.
People need to get off the ledge. Brady is eternal so long as there exists an NFL.
The ****ing GOAT.
Internet **** (which is what it is, with an emphasis on the second word) is ultimately irrelevant.
