It's not actually bad to anyone who actually reads and looks at facts. It is however how they handled deflategate. Tom Brady smashed his phone: he must be guilty. They rod that narrative all the way to a suspension because that's all they had. He likely didn't want to hand over his phone to a leak prone clown show in NY. Probably figured after consulting with his lawyers that it would be a fine at worst for that ala Brett Favre. I bet he wishes he had someone wipe the phone properly and handed it over now, but they would of found another way to get the end result they wanted anyway.
I think if the Pats are 1 and done and the NFL waits until summer to release the punishment there's a chance they just fine them. If the pats knock off KC or the Ravens, god forbid, all bets are off.
His agent gave him the worst advice and told him to go ahead and destroy the phone.
