McNally told NFL Security that he had been personally told by Brady of Brady‟s inflation level

preference.

Yeah, 12.5. He says it quite specifically.

 

Nice try.

 

thanks for pointing that out, that is proof only that brady was aware of the rule, and makes him a bigger liar

 

We found these claims not plausible and

contradicted by other evidence.

 

 

 

how do you explain the....oh screw it you are a zealot

oh, btw, mcnally is the guy brady claimed he had never heard of, didn't know his name or his role on gameday

 

LOL

 

And? There isn't a single text message between Tom Brady and McNally. During the interviews, Brady even got his nickname wrong, calling him Burt when his nickname is Bird. 

 

He didn't know who McNally was. Maybe if you stopped basking in false information, you wouldn't come to a false conclusion. 

 

McNally even thought he had to ask permission to come to the locker room to get things autographed because of how unfamiliar he was with Tom.

I'm the zealot and you're using false information surrounding a story about half a pound of air pressure being a Black Sox scandal, when the Colt balls were under inflated, too.

 

You're sad.

Nor was there any record of communication between Nixon and the five Watergate burglars.  So what is the point, other than the one on top of your head?

“Ugh…Tom was right,” he wrote. “I just measured some of the balls. They supposed to be 13 lbs… They were like 16. Felt like bricks.”

 

​If they're "supposed to be 13 pounds," where is your hidden super secret code word conspiracy that they were deflating footballs below 12.5?

 

Stop whining about cheating. You want Brady suspended over literally nothing because you think it helps your team.

 

In other words, you're trying to cheat.

You can't beat him on the field so you resort to this.

 

The new America.

 

And you say the Patriots turn the NFL into the WWE. What a hypocritical bullsh*t statement. You and people like you turn the NFL into the WWE with your "a half a pound of air pressure is a super cheating scandal and we demand suspensions."

 

I'd say "Better watch out. Someday when the Jets are the premier team in the league, you'll have to deal with these witch hunts and lynch mobs, too"

 

But we all know you'll never have to worry about that

Boston logic for sure...Spygate, deflate gate and on and on.

why would the deflator need to be paid in autographed goods and them why would brady lie about the 50,000 yard ball ?

 

 

all this proves is they manipulate the pressures after they have been submitted for approval.  If you were brady's lawyer he would wind up with a lifetime ban

 

lolololol

C. Role of Jim McNally
Jim McNally is the Officials Locker Room attendant for the Patriots. He has been
employed by the Patriots as a seasonal or part-time employee for the past 32 years and during the
2014-15 season worked for the Patriots on a part-time/hourly basis only on the days on which the
Patriots had home games.22 He first worked as a ball boy, and explained that his role evolved
over time to supporting the equipment staff and helping with the game officials. He has held his
current title since approximately 2007.
McNally‟s primary responsibility is to prepare the Officials Locker Room for the
game officials, and attend to their needs both before and during the game.

In sum, with respect to all of our conclusions regarding the Patriots, McNally,
Jastremski and Brady, we believe that the totality of the evidence, including the text
communications, McNally‟s breach of pre-game procedure, McNally‟s disappearance into a
locked bathroom with the game balls for a period of time sufficient to deflate the Patriots game
balls using a needle, the post-game communications between Jastremski and McNally, the
increase in the frequency of text and telephone communications between Jastremski and Brady
post-game, the halftime data showing a larger reduction in air pressure in the Patriots balls as
compared to the Colts game balls, which our scientific consultants inform us is statistically
significant, together with other facts developed during the investigation and set forth in this
Report support our conclusions.

He's the same idiot who proclaimed Revis a Patriot after the Super Bowl.  Of course before Revis puts his Jets uniform on he has to go through the decontamination process from wearing those disgraceful cheating Patriots* uniforms.

hey everyone, check out this loser jets fan

 

http://espn.go.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/12888612/tom-brady-nflpa-cannot-win-appeal-filed-deflategate

 

 

A couple of moves Thursday by the NFL Players Association and the New England Patriots will keep the Deflategate discussion front and center for the league and fans for some time. Late Thursday afternoon, quarterback Tom Brady and the NFLPA filed an appeal of a four-game suspension handed down by the league after an investigator concluded Brady had a role in deflating footballs used in the AFC Championship Game against the Indianapolis Colts. A few hours earlier, the Patriots issued a point-by-point rebuttal of the NFL's findings.

The actions raise significant questions about the investigation, the team's reaction, the possibility of litigation and Brady's attempt to preserve his legacy:

 

Q: Can Brady win a reduction in the suspension or eliminate the suspension entirely?

A: No. The evidence gathered by attorney Ted Wells for the NFL's investigation is clear and convincing. The text messages between Brady and two Patriotsstaffers, the disappearance of the Patriots' footballs in the moments before kickoff, the history of similar incidents involving Brady and Brady's stonewalling of the NFL investigators lead to only one conclusion: Brady was clearly involved in an effort to underinflate the footballs to give him a competitive edge.

As Wells stated in his report, adopting "a contrary conclusion requires the acceptance of an implausible number of communications and events as benign coincidences." If Brady and the union attorneys argue the penalty is too stiff for a minor violation, they face a challenge that Brady's refusals to turn over his text messages and emails with staffers who had access to the footballs prior to the game were a clear obstruction of the investigation. And, as NFL executive Troy Vincent said in his letter to Brady announcing the suspension, Brady failed in his statement to the investigators "to cooperate fully and candidly."

Vincent added that Brady provided "testimony that the report concludes was not plausible and contradicted by other evidence." The situation before the arbitrator who will hear the appeal is: Brady did it; he was caught; he tried to cover it up; and he lied about it. That's plenty for a four-game suspension.

 

Q: Who will decide Brady's appeal?

A: Under the collective bargaining agreement between the players and the owners, commissioner Roger Goodell has the power to hear and to decide the appeal. The players gave Goodell this authority in the bargaining process. Goodell also has the authority to name an arbitrator.

He could appoint Harold Henderson, a former NFL executive generally viewed as favoring the commissioner and the owners. Or Goodell could name an independent arbitrator, as he did in the Ray Rice domestic violence arbitration. The Rice arbitration was a humiliating defeat for Goodell and his staff, and he might be reluctant to appoint a similarly independent arbitrator.

But the work on the Brady investigation is vastly superior to the work the NFL staff did in the Rice probe. If Goodell wants to avoid another fiasco, he should show his confidence in the Wells investigation and appoint an independent arbitrator.

 

Q: Is it possible the appeal will backfire on Brady?

A: Yes. Brady refused to turn over his text messages and emails during the Wells investigation. In the arbitration process, he will be compelled to give the NFL the material he did not want the NFL to see. When Brady's emails and texts are added to the texts from John Jastremski, the assistant equipment manager, and James McNally, the locker room attendant who took the footballs into the bathroom moments before kickoff, the case against Brady could easily become stronger and more difficult for Brady to answer.

Brady and his attorneys obviously know he must turn over this material to the arbitrator. They will try to present it in a way that shows Brady is innocent. But if the evidence shows innocence, then why didn't Brady turn over the material earlier?

 

Q: How will Brady and his attorneys explain the text messages that indicate Brady was involved in deflating the footballs?

A: They will attempt to persuade the arbitrator that the messages were attempts at humor and were not based on reality. It will be a tough sell.

After the Patriots played the Jets on Oct. 17, Brady was furious about the inflation level of the footballs and complained to Jastremski. Jastremski and McNally, who was upset with Brady's criticism, then exchanged the following text messages during the three days after the game:

McNally: Tom sucks. I'm going to make the next ball a f---ing balloon.

Jastremski: Talked to him last night. He actually brought you up and said you must have a lot of stress trying to get them done. ... The refs f----d us. A few of them were at almost 16 [pounds per square inch, well above the required 12.5 to 13.5 psi].

McNally: Make sure you blow up the ball to look like a rugby ball so Tom can get used to it before Sunday.

Jastremski: Can't wait to give you your needle this week.

McNally: F--- Tom. Make sure the pump is attached to the needle. F-----g watermelons coming.

Jastremski: So angry.

It will be difficult for Brady and his lawyers to paint these text messages as locker room banter. Brady's name, and the notions of inflation and deflation, are all obvious in the messages. There is some humor in the messages, but it is not humor that will be of benefit to Brady.

At another point in the exchange of messages on the inflation level of footballs, McNally states that he "is not going to ESPN yet." Brady has some terrific lawyers, including the estimable Jeff Kessler, but it will be difficult to persuade an arbitrator that a threat to blow the whistle is an attempt at humor.

 

Q: The Patriots' rebuttal Thursday was aggressive and detailed. What was the purpose of this attack on Goodell and the investigation?

A: It is possible the Patriots' rebuttal will become the foundation for a lawsuit against Goodell and the league. But it is more likely that the purpose of the rebuttal was a form of damage control. It offers material for the Patriots' true-believer fans to use as they continue to support their beloved team.

It might diminish the effect of the investigation's assault upon the team's reputation in its market. But it's highly unlikely owner Bob Kraft will file any litigation against the NFL. If he filed a lawsuit, he would join the late Al Davis and Donald Sterling as the only sports team owners to sue their fellow owners. Kraft does not want to be in any group that includes Davis and Sterling.

 

Q: What advantages, if any, does Brady enjoy in this appeal?

A: In reality, just the notion that it cannot get any worse for him.

Whether the arbitrator is Goodell, Henderson or an independent person, the arbitrator cannot increase the suspension. If the arbitrator looks at all the evidence and concludes that Brady was guilty of a form of cheating that affected the integrity of the competition in the most successful sports enterprise in America, the arbitrator could not suspend Brady for more than four games. If the arbitrator had the power to actually increase a penalty, well, Brady and the NFLPA might not have filed an appeal.

 


One week ago, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft pledged to "accept the findings" of the Wells report. The Patriots knew "that there is no real recourse available," Kraft said, and moreover they "understand and greatly respect the responsibility of being one of 32 in this league."

So much for respect, responsibility and a sense of place.

Wednesday, Kraft authorized the publication of a nearly 20,000-word rebuttal to the Wells report. The document makes some important points, most notably illuminating inconsistent assumptions in measuring the inflation of footballs. It strains credulity in some instances, specifically its claim that an employee referring to himself as "The Deflator" was referencing weight loss rather than air pressure. And it's downright juvenile in others, redacting text messages "out of respect" to women and claiming that the NFL should have had better protocols for testing air pressure in footballs if it was such an important issue.

If we can, though, let's take a step back from the gory details and see this episode for what it is: one of the most direct challenges to league authority in recent NFL history.

The document's intention "is to provide additional context for balance and consideration," according to its preamble. What it is really saying, of course, is that by funding the Wells report, the NFL endorsed a poor investigation and produced a faulty ruling that merited a public rebuke, debate and who knows what else.

That might well be true. Evidence in the Wells report is sketchy enough, after all, that its author felt compelled to defend it publicly this week. But look back at Kraft's sentiment from last week. It accurately depicts what NFL owners accept when they purchase a franchise.

Article VIII of the NFL constitution gives the commissioner, and by proxy the league office, "full, complete and final jurisdiction" to resolve disputes. It also gives the commissioner "complete authority" to issue discipline for rules violations. Finally, Article IX expressly prohibits public criticism of the league by member clubs, stating: "All complaints or criticism ... shall be made to the Commissioner only and shall not be publicized directly or indirectly."

Make no mistake: By systematically challenging and attempting to neutralize the Wells report, Robert Kraft and the Patriots have challenged the essential power structure of the NFL. This is as close to an internal civil war as we've seen since former Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis sued the league so that he could move his franchise to Los Angeles -- and then again when he felt undermined there.

Since that point, NFL owners have worked in associative harmony for decades. Their all-for-one conceit has coincided with the league's rise to the most powerful collection of sports teams in the country. The Patriots, in their anger and zeal to defend themselves, broke from that structure in the most public way available short of a lawsuit. (That's another rumored possibility, and one that is also prohibited by the NFL constitution.)

In this case, however, the agitator is not a longtime anti-establishment activist, as Davis was viewed during most of his tenure. Instead, it was one of the league's most powerful establishment owners, the one most responsible for the ascension of commissioner Roger Goodell and the chairman of arguably the league's most important committee (broadcast).

 

 

 

The NFL fully expected the Patriots to swallow their medicine, as painful as it might be, and move on for the good of the collective. As of last week, Kraft planned to do just that. By reversing course, he has revealed a new NFL.

For the moment, at least, it can't be considered a collection of simmering competitors. The Patriots can't be considered "one of 32." Not today. This is the first step in a rebellion. Will it be quashed? Will Kraft back down now that he has said his (long) piece? As in the case of any unprecedented act, no one can possibly know. Stay tuned.

What evidence incriminates Brady?

None.

You think someone calling themselves "The Deflator" in May was code for a conspiracy to take place nine months later.

And that's the totality of your evidence lol.

The Wells Report doesn't even accuse Brady of any specific crime. It says it was "more probable than not that he was generally aware that something was happening."

lololol

Only thing proven by your statements is that you are neithet "Wicked" or "awesome."

What you are is someone who is just as inane as Don Yee & the rest of the NFLPA.

What was in question are the text messages incriminating Brady of knowledge of deflation that goes back to week 7 of the 2014 season. Because he and his agent refused to devulge his return contacts, Brady was found in suspicion of the deflation of game balls. In other words, he was found in contempt based on the NFL/NFLPA regulations.

That's what the NFLPA is trying to defuse - a victory for the NFL could effect every player.

But of course, you'll just wait two days & re-posr the same dribble...
