Independent analysis of accusations against Brady and the Patriots regarding deflategate.
"As with much of Wells’s report, innocent explanations for common events were rejected in a style that is more common in wild-eyed conspiracy theories than in a serious investigation that affects a person’s reputation and the future of a significant business in New England."
No kidding.
"In my decades as an investigative journalist reading and evaluating many official reports, I have noted that when lawyers start including details like McNally saying “urinal” instead of toilet, they realize how weak their case is and are putting everything they can dig up on their side of the scales."
I don't know if much experience is necessary to realize that. Napoleon Goodell had already determined the outcome of this report when he assigned Wells to investigate deflategate. This is a great article.

Goodell to hear Brady's appeal. It's a great way to get himself on camera and elevate himself relative to the NFL's most popular player, but it's worthless. The outcome is a fait accompli. This shows the NFL is not interested in the truth or justice. I'm sure this was planned before the penalty was issued. When this blows up in Goodell's face, he's going to get fired. I hope. He's making a travesty of the NFL.
