Nope.....he did nothing wrong.

The NFL is going to reject Tom Brady’s appeal and uphold the four-game suspension he is facing for his alleged role in Deflategate, according to one report.

Stephen A. Smith said on ESPN’s “First Take” Tuesday morning that a source told him Roger Goodell will not reduce or overturn Brady’s suspension. Perhaps more shocking, Smith cited a separate source who told him Brady actually destroyed his own personal cell phone rather than just refusing to turn it over.

We have known all along that the bigger issue here is Brady’s lack of cooperation during the Ted Wells investigation. The NFL was furious that Brady wouldn’t give up “relevant” text messages and emails that might help clarify his level of involvement — or lack thereof — in Patriots equipment managers allegedly letting air out of game balls.

Smith clarified that he was told by one source that the NFL is going stand by its four-game suspension within the next 24-48 hours, whereas the information about Brady destroying his cell phone was just “something I heard.” It was almost as if he was downplaying the information knowing how much of a bombshell the rumor was.

Reports in recent weeks have been all over the place regarding Brady’s appeal. There has been some indication that the two sides are working toward a settlement, though reports like this one make that seem unlikely.

If the NFL upholds the suspension, no one would be stunned. If someone can prove that Brady destroyed his cell phone, that would be tough for the New England Patriots quarterback to explain.

Brady offered to help NFL gather missing text messages

Instead the NFL leaked that Brady destroyed his phone.

Quote:

The coup de grâce came Tuesday morning, when the league leaked to ESPN that “Brady destroyed his cell phone,” locking in the notion that something sinister — and irreparable — had occurred. The press release announcing the decision likewise focused on the destruction of the cell phone, raising eyebrows from sea to shining sea and reinforcing for many the idea that Brady had something to hide, and that he tried to hide it...

The league arguably opted not to track down the text messages or to match them up with text messages that the league already harvested from other phones, like the one used by John Jastremski, because the league already had the silver bullet it needed to win convincingly in the court of public opinion.

Tom Brady destroyed his cell phone.

It was expertly leaked to ESPN by the same league office that had expertly leaked the 11-of-12 footballs falsehood to ESPN.

Someone's not playing with a full deck and it looks more to people in the NFL doing this investigation. Plus Wells was not really independent. That was a complete BS lie.

It's no wonder that Judge Berman has told both sides to tone it down that it's been "scorched earth enough."

Well that's convenient. Let me shred all my files coincidentally as soon as I'm being investigated. Then volunteer to root through the dump to find the shreds of paper so we can tape them back together again.

But the Wells Report is a piece of dogshit.

You have a very clear bias against Goodell.

Why should I be green, missy?

Did you forget about the 'Red, White, and Blue' - Perhaps, you were rooting for the Bucs at the time.

I was under the impression that you were originally a Chiefs fan, then a Bucs fan, and finally a Patriots fan.

I think she is here for DC.

Strong words, there Bluth. Hard to believe a full-fledged attorney would say that to a woman on a BB.

Didn't even know you were a woman.

Stupidity is gender neutral as you're illustrating.

I don't care if you're Caitlin Jenner. You were wrong, but instead of just apologize for being wrong and not seeing my second response, you go with a misdirection.

See, we were talking about A. You were getting your ass handed to you, so now you bring up B as a way to shift the conversation and attempt to establish some ground to stand on.

Now, you're playing up shame and sympathy. Two very common means used by people who exert control from the weak position.
Also, a common defense mechanism when you can't defend your position and bit off more than you can chew. Like it or not, also a common tactic by women when they’re losing an argument. All of a sudden there's a big emotional breakdown, maybe some waterworks, and pleading to stop attacking her. It's bullshit
and simple obfuscation through sympathy.

You find it hard to believe an attorney would rip your illogical naïveté on a message board like a virgin asshole? You can drop the qualifier, honey, because I'd do it in person as well.

Do yourself a favor. That irrational emotional lizard part of your brain seething to respond with careless disregard. Take back control of your emotions, ego, pride- whatever you want to call it and save whatever diminishing respect that might be left, and simply

.

Maybe take a timeout, get some crazy fun drink at Starbucks and catch up with the latest issue of OK magazine.

**Dylan** · 08-02-2015, 09:16 AM

I urge you to seek professional help, Bluth.

This will serve you well in whatever social work job you begin in the future.

No reply necessary -

That's all.
