Guy called himself the deflator. Shut up.

Yah, probably because he made sure the balls were deflated to the legal minimum after they were rubbed like a motherfucker, and Brady was pissed when he didn't. One guy calling himself the deflator is the only "evidence" there is after the NFL apparently ran an actual sting operation during a championship game (wtf). If your surprise clown-car sting op doesn't actually turn up any actionable evidence, despite the risk of tainting a championship game, then maybe you should chill the gently caress out.

lolololol sorry things didn't work out.

Listening live on the pregame radio Jonathan Kraft just said that the NFL twisted their arms into firing the two equipment guys and that they will now persue how to reinstate them.

Nothing the judge gave really exonerated Tom no, the evidence is still the evidence. Unless you believe there is some massive conspiracy against Tom for some reason.

What evidence is this exactly? :raise:

Ah, but I forget myself; you are no doubt referring to the one guy's dumb nickname for himself, which is of course ironclad evidence implicating Thomas Brady. So ironclad that we don't even need to know for a fact that any footballs were actually deflated!

I want to say that I appreciate you probating me earlier before I went nuclear and I did not give you your new title. Nor do I think you deserve it.

Tom Brady is still a cheater and I hope his skills drop off so much this season Patriots fans regret the judge's meddling.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
Goodell's actions and all the whiny pissbabies ITT crying about Tom being a cheater and hoping he gets injured have made me a fan of Tom Brady, and he got one of those drat rings by beating the Panthers and ripping my heart out.

I gaze up at that handsome face. Fifteen seasons it has taken me to learn what kind of smile is hidden above his perfect dimpled chin. O cruel, needless deflating investigations! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast of the greatest QB in NFL history! Two Bud Light-scented tears trickle down the sides of my nose. But it is all right, everything is all right, the struggle is finished. I have won the victory over myself. I love Tom Brady.

That and the fact that the dude with the nickname snuck the balls into the bathroom (to use the urinal, which the bathroom unfortunately didn't have) after the refs tested them. And the WILD SPECULATION that a professional quarterback knows what football feels like.

I mean, come on. I'm as happy as any right-thinking person that Goodell crashed and burned. It's a victory for labor, decency, and common sense. But thinking that Brady is innocent is "Ben didn't rape anybody" or "jet fuel can't melt steel beams" level retarded. Luckily, unlike rape or 9-11, this is just garden-variety cheating like scuffing baseballs, loading bats, or using illegally curved hockey sticks. Stuff that nobody should ever give two shits about. Except when it's hilarious.

In general yeah the only more concrete evidence would be a confession really.though his guilt was never in question this was all about process and surprise Goodell was an arrogant dickhole.
