The “Deflate-gate”
…” The
Patriots will begin their Super Bowl title defense without the services of the
franchise's all-time greatest player.
The NFL
announced Monday that Tom Brady has been suspended without pay for four games
for violating the NFL policy on the integrity of the game. The team will also
be fined $1 million and will forfeit a 2016 first-rounder and 2017 fourth-round
selection in the NFL Draft. Brady's agent announced Monday that his client will
appeal the suspension.”[http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000492185/article/tom-brady-suspended-4-games-plans-to-appeal]
My point today is the fact that Locker room attendants
are responsible for those balls being altered. Whether of not Brady knew about
it or not, the fact remains those balls were altered. I do not believe Brady
ordered this because one does not become a great quarterback by play with the
air in the balls. The locker room attendant is suspended without pay and the
Patriots lose position in the draft picks.
I do understand the officials are trying not
to” play favorites” and set an example, Aside from quarterback Tom Brady, the
release of Ted Wells' report on Tuesday will focus on two other names you may
not have heard before from the New England Patriots' organization: Jim McNally
and John Jastremski.
…“McNally's name has been thrown in before in this matter — he's the
Patriots' officials locker room attendant and calls himself "the
deflator." Jastremski is an equipment assistant for the team.
The pair exchange multiple text messages published in the report about
Brady and deflating footballs, including one back-and-forth in which McNally
sounds angry at the quarterback. We can't print all of them due to foul
language, but here's a sampling:
McNally: Make sure you blow up the ball to look like a rugby ball so
tom can get used to it before sunday
Jastremski: Omg
And here's another:
Jastremski: Size 11?
Jastremski: 2 or 3X?
McNally: Tom must really be on you
McNally: 11 0r 11 half......2x unless its tight fitting
Jastremski: Nah. Hasn‟t even mentioned it, figured u should get
something since he gives u nothing
Another exchange appears to imply Brady would give them autographed
memorabilia:
McNally: Remember to put a couple sweet pig skins ready for tom to
sign
Jastremski: U got it kid...big autograph day for you
McNally: Nice throw some kicks in and make it real special
Jastremski: It ur lucky. 11?
McNally: 11 or 11 and half kid
There's
also this paragraph from page 18 of the report:
"Additional
evidence of Brady‟s awareness includes a
material increase in the frequency of telephone and text communications between
Brady and Jastremski shortly after suspicions of ball tampering became public
on January 19. After not communicating by telephone or text message for more
than six months (based on data retrieved from Jastremski's cell phone), Brady
and Jastremski spoke by telephone at least twice on January 19 (calls lasting a
total of 25 minutes and 2 seconds), twice on January 20 (calls lasting a total
of 9 minutes and 55 seconds) and twice on January 21 (calls lasting a total of
20 minutes and 52 seconds) before Jastremski surrendered his cell phone to the
Patriots later that day for forensic imaging. These calls included
conversations relatively early during the mornings of January 19 (7:26 a.m. for
13 minutes and 4 seconds), January 20 (8:22 a.m. for 6 minutes and 21 seconds)
and January 21 (7:38 a.m. for 13 minutes and 47 seconds). Brady also took the
unprecedented step of inviting Jastremski to the QB room (essentially Brady‟s
office) in Gillette Stadium on January 19 for the first and only time that
Jastremski can recall during his twenty-year career with the Patriots, and
Brady sent Jastremski text messages seemingly designed to calm Jastremski
("You good Jonny boy?"; "You doing good?").]..[
