The process is seriously flawed.
Brady did himself no favors by destroying his phone.
If it goes to a federal court, the question will be if the league, as defendant, will be able to subpoena for phone and text records from the carrier. Does anyone really believe that info will disappear by simply destroying a phone???? That info is out there as soon as you hit send.....
League is a mess. Goodell trying to save face and integrity, but won't gain any traction with this event.
I have no doubt that Brady was involved with getting the balls conditioned to a "feel" or being broken in. Many ways to do so. With a group of new balls, presumably supplied for the Indy game, the last option available to get the "feel" would be air pressure. I am convinced he was involved as QB in that aspect, but doubt he was aware of what the PSI was, and probably didn't even know the min/max PSI allowed. The feel would be more important than the PSI and that changes according to temp and usage. BUT, he certainly did not comply or come clean with the investigation, flawed as it was. He did what many would do and tried to cover his azz..... He should have been more forth coming sooner....
The longer this goes on, the worse it will be on his "legacy", which is really what he is fighting for. Oh, another word for that would be money....
