Anyone who knows anything about science or about football knows Brady is completely innocent and the NFL have been dishonest. There are still some ignorant people who hate Brady because they are jealous of his success.
Goodell and the NfL are the cheaters, not Tom Brady.
if it makes no difference then why was he doing it?
I am against cheating, but how on earth did they let PLAYERS be handling game balls?
The Referees should be in charge of them, shouldn’t they?
So if the rule says one thing, and someone violates that rule because you don’t think the rule makes sense, then it is okay? Tell that to the judge when you get nailed in a speed trap.
Brady agreed in his contract to let the NFL arbitrate all grievances. The court upheld Brady’s discipline not because it thought he was guilty but because, by agreeing to arbitration, Brady waived his right to have the courts decide if he was guilty or innocent. So these 21 professors should have testified in the arbitration; it’s too late for them to say anything now.

This explained a lot for me.
So it’s “settled Science”...?
If we could only get this type of investigation and interest in what Hillary did to hide her emails and allow the murders in Benghazi and all the other scandals under Obama.
Anyone with an ounce of sense in the northern US knows that vehicle tires lose pressure in cold weather and one should slightly overinflate them to compensate.
The appeals court ruling reinforced the CBA that gave Roger Gooddell the right to make the decisions he made. Their decision was not based upon science, physics, or even Ton Brady’s actions.
My PhD Electrical Eng advisor: “Who is this Tom Brady?”
It makes zero sense that the softer balls gave him an edge. It simply didn't exist.
He may like it better personally...but an edge?? Prove it.
How difficult would it be for the refs to randomly check ball pressure several times a game?
Brady was railroaded by Goodell. The NFL’s system for ensuring the balls were properly inflated and for testing them was terrible.
Brady proved that he can play great with properly inflated footballs. However, I believe his problem is he can’t play well with balls that are over inflated.
Of course the appeal’s court ruling didn’t take sides on the science one way or the other. Their ruling was that if Goodell wants to suspend you the CBA says he can, he doesn’t need facts, he doesn’t need science, all he needs is the desire.
Nonsense. Science has nothing to do with it, in any event.
The evidence from the investigation shows that there was something fishy going on. Read the transcripts of the text messages, for one thing.
This is a judgement call based on the Commissioner's office.
Roger Goodell, through the team owners, has an inherent right to impose discipline on any employee of the corporation.
If Goodell determines that Brady committed conduct detrimental to the game, then that's that.
Brady was able to defer his punishment for a year, but now he's going to have to serve it.
The real travesty was the original judge's overturning of the NFL's decision. That took left-wing attitudes about labor rights to a new level.
Except where otherwise governed by a labor contract, any employer may sanction an employee for any reason they see fit.
And don't forget, this situation arose out of initial complaints which were coming from other players.
The NFL as a corporation has every right to discipline its employees.
All will be right with the NFL and the world once Tom Brady actually serves his 4-game suspension.
Only an extremely pro-union ideologue could support the overtly anti-business reasoning of the judge who initially overturned Brady's suspension. That's why it was reversed: because the management runs a company, not labor.
If the cold weather had such a disasterous influence on the ball pressure, what about all those driving to the game on pressure-monitored tires? Was every car tire suddenly underinflated, or just the footballs?
Finally!! Someone gets it!
How stupid is this going to get?????????
Why did Brady send texts to the guy who deflated the balls asking if he was OK? It’s on the record that this guy worshipped Brady and that Brady never so much as have him the time of day before the investigation began?
