The report admits that there is no direct evidence; just indirect and innuendo. Assumptions that because one person said something; that Brady had to have been responsible.
Because the NFL allowed this issue (game) to potentially go forward and their own officials did nothing to ensure the integrity; the league is as much responsible and they want to claim Brady is.
They were gunning for the Patriots; possbile because of the Raven's game

There is evidence Tom likes his balls deflated.
There is evidence balls were deflated.
Tom did not report the balls being deflated.
This is not a murder trial. There is no "beyond a reasonable doubt". Tom and the Pats cheated and I hope the whole team is punished well beyond what the Saints got.

worse than the saints got for making deliberate serious injuries an official policy? GTFO
again, the evidence you speak of does not exist. if a penalty is applied without proof, the next stop is victory in a courtroom.
I agree punishment is deserved but the Saints were punished very harshly because it involved players getting bonuses for injuring opposing players, I can't see letting a pound of PSI out of some balls compared to that as that serious. Certain injuries can destroy someone's entire career.
Evidence doesn't exist? Do you live in some altered state of reality?

Do you deny Tom cheated?
And the NFL needs to send a message that cheating will not be tolerated.
I'm sure they will, this will not be fines only, it will involve suspension(s). While I doubt the 1-1.3 PSI gave Brady much of any advantage the fact that he knowingly encouraged others to break the rules is enough. One wonders if the league would have waited till after the SB to start the investigation Brady might have possibly come clean but the team is scheduled to play in the SB it's possible he did not want to jeopardize being suspended for the game. Like I had mentioned earlier, the league could have issued a warning to all the teams about illegal tampering with game balls and this embarrassing for all situation would not exist. Yea, I get it that the Pat's or any other team does not deserve any "warning" not to tamper, but now you are forced to suspend the SB winning QB and had the Colts game been a close one and they lost, the Colts as a team would be rightly pissed off, you would have wanted the Ref's to re-check the balls again prior to the start of the game. not wait till halftime to check ball pressure.
None of that matters.
You don't fucking cheat. Period. Besides, there is no reasonable person who believes this only happened in one game. He cheated and if it were my call, he would forfeit all pay from last year and be banned for life.

good thing it's not your call, because you apparently have no grasp of business or law.
Pretty funny how not a single QB in the league currently has said a word on the subject. Luck should be banned too since the Indy balls were deflated?
Funny thing is in all the texts there's not a single one talking about deflating the ball below the limit. And gotta love how the refs inflate the balls out of regulation to 16psi. Ban the refs too.
Believe in the NFL rule book, the penalty is a $25k fine.
Should the Panthers and Vikings all be banned when they were caught heating balls in the middle of a game?
This has zero to do with the law you moron.

Every situation has a "risk/reward" element attached to it and I just don't think the reward was worth the risk here.
Brady and the Pats obviously think the reward was worth the risk, otherwise they would not have done it. No matter how you interpret the oft-discussed fumble data, the Patriots seem to be an outlier. Tommy and his minions were risking a lot of money, a lengthy suspension and a pretty big scandal to do it, so they apparently saw a sizable potential reward and the data suggests they got it.
I'm not sure if your familiar with BB's coaching style, if you fumble, you sit. Most fumbles are actually balls that are stripped away from a player and I just do not think 1-1.3 PSI is going to make a dramatic difference.
Only when you suck and have to make up for it.Cheating is part of all sports,
