McNally:**** tom ...16 is nothing...wait till next sunday
It's obvious from these texts Tom was giving McNally things in exchange for lowering the pressure.
unbelievable the lengths some of you will go to deny the obvious.
brady lied, he deflated footballs, probably for years, and he's going to get suspended a few games. my guess is 4.
f* it, it happened. it's annoying that he didn't come right out and admit it when the story broke, but the guy has 4 rings, millions of dollars, and a supermodel wife. he will be fine, and so will all of us. deal with the burn and move on.

Exactly. Wells insinuates that in early 2014 McNally is already known as the "deflator", implying this is a long-running conspiracy, yet here is evidence showing "Tom was right" about the balls in the Jets game being way over-inflated, lending credence to the fact that he was just then learning about the rules of acceptable PSI and where it should be at.
I don't see how you can say McNally is deflating balls before 2014 but then provide evidence that Brady is just learning about PSI in October.
The texts are nonsense. It's clear Jastremski knew Brady, but there's no evidence that McNally did. The only thing evident to me is that the two men worked to make sure the footballs were inflated where Brady wanted them, there's no evidence that they ever set them below the allowed threshold or tampered with them after check-in.From what i heard and read, no evidence against Belichick and Kraft but the text messages between McNally and Jastremski clearly implicate that they knew Brady and were acting on his behalf. Doesn't look good that Brady refused to cooperate with the investigation either.
The USA Today also reported that "The report also details scientific evidence supporting a conclusion the balls were deliberately deflated".
Keeping my fingers crossed!!!!!!!
Goodell/Vincent may toss something at the Patriots over the follow up interview. Brady may initially face a fine or suspension, which he'll appeal and, at least in the case of suspension, probably win. It's the other two I'm worried for. Goodell's not above demanding that they be fired, even with this level of evidence.
I'd be shocked if they were back although their potential "run to ESPN" could be problematic.Given that McNally is a part-timer, and the two of them did help give the Pats a black eye, whether they intended to or not, I wouldn't be surprised if they were fired even without such a demand.

I don't believe Kraft would, on his own, fire two innocent employees over this.

And they are innocent?
I stated that I unconditionally believed that the New England Patriots had done nothing inappropriate in this process or in violation of the NFL rules and that I was disappointed in the way the league handled the initial investigation. That sentiment has not changed.
