NFL finds Patriots employees probably deflated balls


So, nothing but maybes. Everyone deserves more than that.

Naturally they waited until after the draft to release their findings, so the Pats would not lose any picks.

There didn't seem to be any maybes regarding the text that implied Brady had asked for it.

Can't penalize with a maybe anyway.

What a joke this investigation has been. They waited months to finally release the findings only to tell us there may have been some wrong doing.

Did you see the texts? Of course this was planned and Brady asked for it.

The Pac vs Money fight was rigged as well

If I was Brady, I would sue the NFL for slander. They give a maybe that he did something wrong?

The NFL didn't say maybe. It said probably. Big difference. And if this were a civil trial with a preponderance standard, it would probably be good enough.

No difference, if they can't produce evidence.

Regardless of the findings this should result in the league controlling and maintaining the game balls. Period; end of sentence.
