I'm not just being casual here. Each item is inserted very deliberately because I think they would have good chances of being picked up by the media, and because they address questions in the media's/public's minds.
- I'm completely innocent.
- I believe everybody else in the Patriots' organization is completely innocent too.
- It is difficult for me to respond to some parts of the subject, because I've never been told how the scheme I allegedly participated in worked, and I also haven't been able to guess. For example, I gather that supposedly Bird McNally was involved, and that supposedly it happened both at home and on the road; nobody's ever explained how that makes sense when he doesn't even travel with the team.
- I don't think the outcome is just. Justice would not be served unless the people who truly have harmed the league in this process were punished themselves.
- However, it's best to move on. I need to focus on football, and it will be a joy to do so. That's what I'm all about.
- I think my lawyers did great work. Kessler and the rest of the team were awesome. In particular, I think people have been too hard on Yee. His advice to me assumed that the league was operating in good faith, and if that assumption were correct, his advice would have turned out to be good.
- My family has been awesome in their support. I don't know what I would have done without them. I love them so much.
