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.

This.

There's a fair amount of science that does back the NFL. The 'the science doesn't fit' argument is wildly overstating the contrary findings.

There are circumstances which, if they did occur, would back the Pats version of the events. However, a lot of stuff needs to fall into place for that set of circumstances to match and given the seemingly increasing pile of corroborating evidence, I'm gonna side with the NFL's version here.

This is what Cheatriots fans are reduced to now - hoping to delay the guilty verdict for as long as possible. That just says it all.

Odd, that this was no mentioned in the report by Wells. To my knowledge, and I could be wrong, it happened at the time he was interviewed when under investigation by Wells. Brady, says he destroys his cell phone after so many uses. The information would also be on other people's phones too.

Did you not read it? It says Brady didn't inform them that he destroyed the phone until June.

It's not in the Wells report because they didn't know that yet.

nope, the NFL just filed a preemptive strike to keep case in New York and to speed up process.

Allegation of cheating. No evidence.

Other than that Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Too bad for all the haters!

"The science" in no way shape or form exonerates the Patriots
It just as mentioned above lists a series of theoretical situations that could lead to the condition the Patriots balls were in

You just have to weigh the odds of that happening like the Patriots say against the odds the there being some kind of interference

Generally innocent people don't:
Lie about knowing someone
Destroy key evidence in connection with an investigation
lie about why someone is called the "deflator"
refuse to cooperate with an investigation

So much shady behavior that it would be such an extreme coincidence for it all to be true

The really funny thing is that the Pats will be back at the table looking for another way to skirt the rules. I sure wish the Chiefs had the same 360-degree desire to win (at all cost). Who knows, after all of this, they might.

Link?

The bar for an injunction is pretty low.

Yeah, I'd say destroying your cell phone is a red flag. You're right though, it's not technically an admission to guilt. Maybe he found out Marky Mark banged Giselle and he was just really, really mad !!!

Nope. Science backs them. Don't forget the different gauges used at different times.

Sorry to see you are at a loss for words. It's hard articulating an argument for some.

243 pages of evidence, and that's not even counting the evidence that Brady destroyed.

There's no point in articulating an argument when you have nothing to argue about. Your entire premise is worthless and has been proven wrong a multitude of times.

When your argument consists of....."HA HA HA" and "haters"......there's nothing for me say back to you.
