Your Guide to Brady Hearing

Deflategate, possibly the greatest sports scandal ever, will reach a climax today as Tom Brady, Roger Goodell, Ted Wells and Jeffrey Kessler battle it out on the courtroom. The centerpiece of the offseason, dwarfing free agency and even the draft, will now be settled…or will it? Judy Battista of NFL Media predicts-oh, we'll get to that later. First, the dossiers. 

Tom Brady

Picture
The quarterback is widely believed to be in on Deflategate. Ah, forget widely believed. EVERYBODY knows he did it. But the Pats may have found a solution. Sources tell us:

Just joking. That was on Facebook. 
But anyway, most of you know all about Tom Brady, so I don't need to spend much time here. The important thing is that Bom Trady-er, Tom Brady's reputation hangs in the balance. 

Roger Goodell

Picture
Has there ever been a more unpopular commissioner than Roger Goodell? 
You could say he's earned his reputation. No football personality has ever made a bigger mess of things. Whether it's a huge scandal or a Baltimore Raven punching people, he just lollygags around not offending anybody. He just tries to make sure nobody gets mad at him.  
And oh, how he has failed.
I'll say this: he'd be an excellent politician. He knows how to get to the top and stay there. Unfortunately for him, this isn't politics, this is football. And while he could totally be in Congress right now, I can't see him in the Supreme Court. We'll see how he fares on the bench. 

Ted Wells

Picture
Wells is probably the Number One coolest person involved in this hearing. 
He is one of the best defense attorneys in the world. He went to college with a Supreme Court Justice. He went to Harvard. He's worked for the NFL before. And he wrote the Wells Report. He'll attend the hearing. It'll be interesting to see what role he plays. 

Jeffrey Kessler

Picture
The lawyer backing Brady, Kessler is known to be an enemy of lousy commissioners everywhere. Among his clientele are the NFL Player's Association, the NHLPA, and the MLBPA. He's pretty much the voice of the players. He paved the way to the free agency system. If you fight the NFL, there's nobody you'd rather have on your side. 

So What's Next?

Picture
It is speculated that Goodell may decrease the suspension to appease Brady and Kessler. Brady might get the Von Miller treatment and a worse suspension. Either way, he'll take it to court. Judy Battista of NFL Media reports that he wants his name cleared completely. Read the whole story at NFL.com. Thanks for reading this post. Please share on Facebook.

Ok, here's a stat for you to check. Where do the Pats rank in fumbles lost over the past five or six years?

Good question Bob...are you saying that this not just an isolated event but just the first time they got caught?

Thanks, Mr. Bob! I found out that the Patriots have been among the teams who fumbled the least in recent years. This year, nobody fumbled less except for the Vikings. They were 8th in '13 and '12, and fumbled the least in 2011.

Easy. Raise the suspension to 6 games.
