On the contrary, I'm sure Kraft wants nothing more than Brady to go to court. Brady would almost be like a surrogate to Kraft.
There's a simple solution to all of this, check the balls at halftime and at the end of games this year. If they don't naturally deflate than something happened and punishment, if they do "deflate" the NFL says our bad and move on.
Exactly, Goodell does not work for the players or the fans. The owners are his boss, and their collective mouthpiece.
The commissioner is not hired to forward players or fans interests, only the owners who hire him and pay his salary.
There's an even simpler solution: Don't let the QBs customize the footballs to their liking in the first place. None of this would have happened if Brady and Manning hadn't pushed for it and the league's apparent hard-on with adding more scoring to the game.
What sport other than bowling ('bowling as a sport' is a topic for another thread), do the participants get to work the game balls to their liking??
Once upon a time they did, but guess who was one of the players that lobbied to change that.
That cats out of the bag and not going back in, but no matter how the balls are handled prior to the game, the air pressure is going decrease or increase depending on the weather conditions.
And now even worse for the NFL and it's Wells report. The firm hired by Wells for the "scientific" evidence, has now in another case been fined by the Court everyday until it turns over how it reached certain conclusions because it was most likely made up. That's right, made up. They have to pay all Plaintiff fees and pay $1000 a day till they turn over their work.

That is indeed a very good column. Tell the truth really is the best alternative here. Just say what everyone else can see, the report is not anywhere near conclusive enough and at worst very flawed in assigning blame on the Patriots, and specifically Brady.
It's amazing to me how many "smart" people choose to ignore science and common sense and want their pound of flesh all because of the names associated with this. Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.
This maybe true, but maybe, just maybe..Mr. Brady has not been as cooperative as the investigators would like. Neither you, nor I, nor anyone else in here was in the interview they have conducted since the report came out. Because regardless of what the reports states, IF Brady messed with the footballs, the science don't mean jack squat.
I'm not surprised, but your last sentence is backwards. He sat and was interviewed for 7 hours by Wells.
How would Brady mess with the football? In the huddle, right before he throws it, in pegame warm ups? Maybe he taped a paperclip to his non-throwing hand, yeah that's it.
Success has become a crime in the new American culture.
I honestly do not think he is being punished for success as you would suggest. Personally, I think because the perception on the Patriots is due to spygate, the offensive-line gate... "once a cheater, always a cheater". The Steelers and the 49ers are just as, if not more successful as the Pats. Using the logic you just presented, I don't remember the league going after them for their success.
Excellent read. But again, Goodell has been inconsistent with all his disciplinary and to be suddenly surprised by the initial rulings is laughable.
Neither of those teams have had the same success the Pats have had in Goodell's tenure or in the social instant access media age.
"Offensive-line gate", I guess we should ban all trick plays than, I mean a fake punt is deception. Wha Wha Wha.
Perception? What is Goodell a freaking precog now and is going to punish because of it.
I'm not going to comment on Spy-gate again because 98% John Q Public is ignorrant to the actual facts and so much of it has become non-truthful folklore. But here's some light reading about it. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...pygate-punishing-success-and-promoting-parity
