Dorkington Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/report-tom-brady-destroyed-phone-suspension-to-be-upheld/ar-AAdBouH?ocid=iehp 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. Innocent people totally do that.

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Shefty reports - There is an expectation that the case will be resolved within the next 48 hours, and ESPN's Stephen A. Smith is hearing that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell likely will uphold the suspension stemming from Brady's involvement in the Deflategate scandal. http://espn.go.com/boston/nfl/story/_/id/13330642/tom-brady-new-england-patriots-nfl-remain-settlement-talks-suspension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pneumonic Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Great...so the explanation is "delfator is a weight-loss reference", "it's the officials' fault that McNally disappeared with the game balls and his explanation for why was very clearly a lie", and "if the Refs swapped gauges a few times, then the discrepancy between the sets of footballs might be explainable, and if that doesn't explain it, let's assume there's a whole bunch of other factors that could explain it". All of which is as "more probable than not" to have happened as what is presumed in the Wells report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Innocent people totally do that. of course, actual reporters tend to be reliable too. so with it being SAS, we are left guessing if its completely made up or real. given his backtrack from it, and the lack of sense it makes..... ill lean towards probably not real.

4merper4mer Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Maybe one of his kids threw the phone in their pool. Could have been destroyed unintentionally. His bastard child or one of the others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm taking everything with a grain of salt... I still fully expect the NFL to overturn it in the end AND give the Patriots a reward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 Albert Breer @AlbertBreer 10m10 minutes ago There've been continued settlement talks between NFL and NFLPA on Tom Brady. One major sticking point: Brady's willingness to admit guilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFunPolice Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 suspension is upheld, so now Brady will sue, not miss a single game while the never ending legal process plays out, lose his court case, appeal his loss, lose that appeal, appeal the lost appeal, etc. In short, he will never miss a single game because of this.

Kelly the Dog Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Oh right, he's not guilty: Regarding NFL decision to uphold Brady suspension, here is league statement: In the opinion informing Brady that his appeal had been denied, Commissioner Goodell emphasized important new information disclosed by Brady and his representatives in connection with the hearing. On or shortly before March 6, the day that Tom Brady met with independent investigator Ted Wells and his colleagues, Brady directed that the cell phone he had used for the prior four months be destroyed. He did so even though he was aware that the investigators had requested access to text messages and other electronic information that had been stored on that phone. During the four months that the cell phone was in use, Brady had exchanged nearly 10,000 text messages, none of which can now be retrieved from that device. The destruction of the cell phone was not disclosed until June 18, almost four months after the investigators had first sought electronic information from Brady. Based on the Wells Report and the evidence presented at the hearing, Commissioner Goodell concluded in his decision that Brady was aware of, and took steps to support, the actions of other team employees to deflate game footballs below the levels called for by the NFL's Official Playing Rules. The commissioner found that Brady’s deliberate destruction of potentially relevant evidence went beyond a mere failure to cooperate in the investigation and supported a finding that he had sought to hide evidence of his own participation in the underlying scheme to alter the footballs.

TheFunPolice Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 oh he's guilty as hell but this is all part of his plan.... Sue, play while the case drags on, and ultimately push the penalty as far down the road as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
