When it comes to Brady's accomplishments, the PR train left the station, depending on your degree of pessimism, either in January 2015 or September 2007.
I firmly believe that Tom Brady will be vindicated by those who write the history of this team and this era 15--20 years from now, but, for today's audience, there's not much we can do but state the truth as we know it and the facts as we know them and then prepare to be mocked.
Things will be a little easier for us should Judge Berman vacate Goodell's ruling, but even that is not going to do much good among the vast majority of fans, who will spin conspiracy and other theories to explain away the ruling. Our task will be a lot harder if Berman chooses to rule narrowly and decide that the CBA lets Goodell get away with what he did.
But, in the end, I believe that history will vindicate Brady.
