And if you read the report and thought Brady came out looking like he did nothing wrong, we have to consider you somewhat illiterate and borderline reeruned. My prediction: This is a second offense of deliberately circumventing the rules to gain a competitive advantage. The last time they cheated, they lost a first rounder and BB got a huge fine and the owner got a huge fine of his own. That obviously wasn't enough to prevent them from cheating again so I expect the league to come down harder than most expect. It has to be harsher than the first penalty. My guess is loss of all picks in rounds 1-3 for the 2016 draft Brady suspended 4-6 games 1m fine to Brady |

The phrasing he used was consistent with how the NFL determines guilt; that's why he used those phrases. It's actually perfectly clear within the NFL's vernacular that Brady and the equipment managers cheated. And libel - BEP, we get along just fine, but that's ridiculous. Brady instructed those men to deflate the balls. And even without the report, the fact he wouldn't turn his cell or email over to the investigators is extremely damning. |

Go on Record: Predict the Punishment for Deflategate
Quote:
I agree. The Patriots have a culture of "win at all costs, even if a little cheating is needed". The NFL needs to stamp this out, and it being a second offense in the last decade needs to be considered. I also think the punishment for cheating needs to escalate with each offense, up to vacating wins, stripping entire season's worth of draft picks, and multiple season or outright bans. |

It says right in my link that's how a lawyer of his kind writes things. Lawyers are good at using words that way. You're not telling me anything I don't already know. Lawyers can trap with careful use of words that others will read differently. The thing is this lawyer can only state "generally knew" and that does not mean Brady knew how these dudes would do it. It's still not hard evidence of cheating ( wanting the balls under the PSI) and it's not evidence Brady instructed the staffers to deflate under the allowed PSI. The only evidence is that the staffers violated the rules by getting their hands on the balls after inspection. Generally means generally—just that he wanted his balls on the lower side of the PSI. It doesn't mean much more. It's vague. |

If this penalty turns out to be less than what they got for spygate, the league will send a message that it's a huge joke and they do to care at all if teams cheat.
Even in a game that the winner goes to the Super Bowl. The league should feel disrespected and embarrassed and the Patriots should by all means get penalized accordingly. |
