The NFL pointed to this also, as if it was proof of guilt, which is AMAZING to me. Would you not also have a spike in communication if they were innocent? Would you not get together and be like "what the **** is going on? Did you guys spike the balls? What happened?!?"
Aren't they going to meet and talk EITHER WAY?
Or would you be like "hey, I didn't do anything, so let's not talk about this at all."
Finally, phone -- optics. They were never getting it. NEVER GETTING IT. If it makes you feel better to think it's in a drawer somewhere, instead of destroyed, that's great, but what possible difference does it make? NEVER getting it.

The ball boy went into a bathroom with the footballs. After the footballs were checked. But yeah... Weather.
If brady told us he didn't want to hand over his phone everyone would have supported him. He didn't. He made up some ridiculous excuse about regularly destroying phones. If he told us he prefers deflated footballs but didn't realize there was tampering, people would have shrugged. Instead, he was defiant, claimed he had no idea the balls were deflated (which is utter bullshit for a control freak like brady).
Sure there isn't enough evidence to warrant major penalty. But anyone with half a brain can put the pieces together.
