There was laughably little evidence that Brady was actually involved though. This was a witch hunt.

Plus, there was actually more evidence to 'reasonably' suggest that the air pressure variance was the result of environmental factors.  This also highlights how much trust people place in the information that NFLN and ESPN filter to fans.  And that's pretty scary.

I'll say this much, as a Patriots fan, I'm done with just cheering when another team or player gets pounded by the league, and yes, I was guilty of that in the past.  This case, coupled w/ Bountygate, and the Ray Rice case have really shone a light on how poorly the league handles things, and how easy it is for them to frame the narrative, before the actual facts surface.  So whether you're happy for Brady or not, at least know you'll have one less 'gloater' the next time the league tries to impose some discipline on a player/team you root for.
