The frustration with the national media in Patriots Nation reached a fever pitch in the year following Deflategate. Whether it was ESPN trolling or Mark Brunell crying on tv, many fans have a hard tome believing there hasn’t been a real “voice of reason” beyond the borders of New England.

Before kickoff between the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers Thursday night, NBC broadcaster Bob Costas took a crack at being that guy when he took a moment to voice his thoughts on the current status of the New England Patriots and Tom Brady, and it provided a view most fans and maybe even those with legal backgrounds might tend to favor.

You judge for yourself in Costas’ summary of events below.
