He might not have said so in so many words, but communication can be indirect and still be effective.
It can be a conscious attempt at plausible deniability by alluding to something that someone wants done.
NorthHawk wrote:Then where would they get the information that Brady liked lesser inflated footballs if not originally from him? It could be a wink and a nod to someone else who then talked to someone else and this trickled down to the equipment managers who acted on it. It's still coming from Brady, though.

I dont know how many of you have waded through the text streams that are known to exist. I have and when I read them I was absolutely convinced Brady was directly involved in the scheme. Statements like" I better get those jerseys or its going to be a rugby Sunday" "Im the deflator""I'm not going to go to ESPN,,,,yet".They talk about being stressed out from the pressure of trying to make the balls right. There are so many more , many long before the AFC championship game. These two guys were interviewed repeatedly by Wells and lied through their teeth until confronted with the text streams that had been recovered then the club refused to allow them to be re interviewed. Brady initially denied even KNOWING Mcnally, the "deflator" until text streams proved they had communicated extensively. Long range those two guys who got dumped like a hot potato are the key to the real truth. They have been made out to be incompetent chumps even though one had worked for the organization over 20 years. I wonder if someday someway that interview with ESPN might happen or is the evil empire so intimidating they will keep their lips sealed forever.
Theres something fundamentally wrong about a guy destroying others to protect a lie which is exactly what Brady has done.
Hawktawk wrote:Ok RD I waded through that. First question has anyone independently verified that piece? If the allegations of bias in the Wells report have merit certainly a document produced by the accused team would have the same bias if not more.
RD I knew Brady was guilty when I saw his deer in the headlights interview right after the story broke where he stammered and stumbled over the simple question of did he cheat. I never saw Brady look like that before. No matter how much noise, how much shart has been thrown at the wall in a successful attempt to win in court the fact is that he did what he was accused of.No way would Goodell walk the plank to screw his best buddy in the league if he wasn't actually certain in his own mind this occurred. Wells was too kind with language like" probably at least generally aware" and it cost him. He was plenty aware. Destroying phones, paying fines and surrendering draft picks are evidence and admission of guilt.
I see it this way. There are three types of people, those who believe Brady is guilty, those who are wrong, and the judge who has Brady in his fantasy league.
Guilty as hell courts be damned.
