It was a distraction. People stopped talking about players beating the shit out of their girlfriends. People stopped caring about CTE and the spent months talking about supposedly deflated footballs.
Said it then, still believe it now. I still LOVED how Brady came back after a 4 game suspension and drove his team straight too another Super Bowl victory. One of the BEST damn SBs in recorded history that I can remember watching..I still can watch that on Loop, on the NFL vidoe..
So the NFL punished Kraft and Brady for something that is literally small in nature? This is totally unfair. I'm glad Brady went out to win the Super Bowl that season. And he went on to play in 3 subsequent Super Bowls for the Patriots winning 2 of those games after this season. And add another in Tampa Bay. This treatment and rail job by the NFL is the reason we should replace Goodell. Tom Brady IS the GOAT QB (arguably player) in NFL history. Oh, I'm a Jet fan by the way. You cannot deny Tom Brady's greatness when it is so legitimate. Even if he hurt us very badly. You have to respect him.
@John Solo he destroyed his phone because he probably had some personal shit on it..even the email he sent his friend about Peyton manning being all done..we should have never heard that..that was between Tom and whoever he sent it to..the league hates Brady and the patriots..look at this season MVP..Brady deserves it..but because Karen Fraudgers has less interceptions he is gonna win it..Gtfooh
@John Solo respectfully; The investigators told him they didn’t need it. The nfl even stated brady and the pats were fully cooperative at the end of it all. You don’t need the physical phone for texts and emails… they got them through the phone company
@John Solo I called him Karen Fraudgers because he is a diva ..high maintenance (like a woman) nothing to do with skip..2cd.Brady wrote a personal email talking to his friends about Peyton Manning having been in decline and having a noodle arm..had nothing to do with what the nfl was investigating...but they were the ones who Leaked the news..
This was obvious at the time. The NFL was fed up with Brady and the Patriots winning too much and decided to try to put a stop to it. Goodell has always been slime.
It’s not Goodell he is a puppet, he does what the 32 owners want. In this case they wanted to stop the Patriots from continue their domination of the league.
Make you wonder, if the Colts didn’t bring that up to the refs they “ might “ of had a chance. On second thought, the way the Colts were playing in the second half Brady could of been throwing wet rags and still win the game
After 7 years of that deplategate accusation of colts they sucks... andrew luck retires and they cant find a good quarterback... just like their last seasonal game of all the team jags beat them and out in the playoffs..🤣🤣🤣 karma
The fact remains that the damage was done and that's what the NFL wanted. They knew their argument was crap and still went with it because they had the haters on their side.
Brady gets money back Patriots get money and try fix back that's how it should go because Brady was suspended for game without pay so that automatically means he was find some right there
@@ronaldvecchione1441 that's also going to depend on Tampa Bay because they still hold his rights for another season if they can't come to an agreement I signed next year when he's a free agent and he'll retire a patriot I seen articles where it's at Brady still plans on retiring to Patriot but it don't say when
The Commissioner will never be able to control or censor the owners. The Commissioner is hired and fired by the owners. No checks and balances whatsoever
Can Brady sue the NFL for defamation and collect tens of millions if not hundreds of million dollars in damages? Many fans of other teams took this and ran with it and calling Brady a cheater. For a guy of Brady's stature and reputation, this great damages his reputation and fame, and potentially cost him untold dollars in damages.
Brady is riding high on retirement and being celebrated for his extraordinary career. He literally has nothing to gain from trying to relitigate this in court or in public opinion. It would just be negative laundry screwing up everybody's business. Yeah, I get his fans would love to stick it to the NFL after all that grief, but Brady already got his revenge by utterly dominating the league since then.
Seriously doubtful, no one blamed Brady in NFL or media directly. It didn't damage his fame or reputation. Some might argue he actually benefited from it. Both income and having a few games off. Think it's gonna e a hard sell in court. R.Kraft can sue, he was robbed of 2 draft picks and $1M. I'm no lawyer but I'd guess deception or even fraud are possible. I'd go for fraud. They knew it was a lie and stole $1M. In any other walk of life, we'd call that person a criminal.
Just so u know the draft pick the patriots lost , would have been a first round pick in his second year playing in the eagles super bowl , ie a difference maker , so as much as we would like to think that deflate gate didn't cost the Patriots a super bowl it prob did, they also lost there 4th round pick in the 2017 draft possibly all leading to the ultimate end of the run of Brady and the patriots.
@@riffsthatkill2180 Well knowing Bellichek he probably would have traded that 1st round pick for 3 4th rounders..but I think Bradys reputation was tarnished for bullshit..
@@bloconte2796 Belichick drafts better in middle of the draft than with his first and second rounders, so that could have helped them even more in the Eagles Super Bowl. I agree about Bradys reputation, which means Goodell should publicly apologize to him.
Here's where your completely wrong, as a Patriots fan you should know Bill would of traded that pick for lower round picks and completely whiffed in the draft. Maybe we would of drafted another crap WR.
If Mike has hard evidence and can prove Brady was railroaded, he needs to turn over all of the evidence to Brady's lawyer and let Tom sue for damages from slander and fraud.
@@neisan92 which is first round, meaning they could have drafted King Henry. I imagine the Pats with Henry and Brady together would have been a juggernaut, as Henry would have created so many holes in coverage for Brady to throw to.
Anyone else remember the ESPN video that they tested deflated footballs and found that they were harder to throw, caused drag, and were harder to catch... ?? It was out a couple days, then they pulled it for some reason.
The reason why this was pushed, and idk why no one talked about it ever, was to distract from Goodell’s worst year as Commissioner; same year as Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson, Sherman beating the rap on his PED suspension. No one found it fishy that this was the one case Goodell wanted to hear the appeal himself? That they chose the 1 lab that is famous for finding the conclusions you pay them to when literally every academic and professional was on the Patriots’ side in this. It was to distract from how bad he did and it worked, no one talks about those things as much as Deflategate. People who say the Pats weren’t punished for Spygate enough don’t know the history of the game; was by far the harshest penalty ever fished out for a rule that was recently changed and if you’re smart and change signals couldn’t hurt because it could only be used in rematches. Not to mention the location was the issue, you can film signals from the stands
@@GRNKRBY is it? Because Mike Florio has no dog in that fight and the league and all the major sports networks are not even addressing the report. To my knowledge only local Boston media is talking about it and I can guarantee you they're covering the Brian Flores situation. So I think you're off the mark there just a bit, and by a bit I mean completely
Exactly . This was just a distraction from the Nfls domestic violence and CTE issues at the time. ESPN couldn’t shut up about deflate gate but I haven’t seen them talk about this yet.
I would love to see Tom Brady sue goodell and the nfl for defamation of character because of this since he is now retired. Call it Brady's Final Comeback! It would even make a great movie if Brady did it, like the movie "Count of Monte Cristo".
Basically the second legal case, said under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, the Commissioner can do anything he wants, justified or not (i.e. there is no recourse).
When Brady took the NFL to court over deflategate, many lies they had told came out. Example: The NFL never asked Brady for his cell phone. Yet they had previously reported that Brady had refused.
I'm not from Boston (Detroiter), so I'm not a regular listener but thanks for this. Good work. I haven't heard about this story ANYwhere else. The NFL network isn't going to cover it. ESPN isn't going to cover it. They've got a vested interest in this story GOING AWAY. If this happened in a courtroom, people would be going to jail.
Nobody really believes Brady cheated. The commissioner is a hater. The only people that believed Brady cheated were the Commissioner, Rob Parker, Shannon Sharpe and maybe Max Kellerman. He could use a nerf football and beat anybody.
And after all this, Tommie had his revenge - Roger G having to hand Brady the SB trophy and say, 'congratulations' and then stomp off the platform while America in general and I specifically, laughed our heads off. That was must-see-TV!
This is horrible. They crucified that man. I never believed it, but others labeled Tom-who is the straightest guy in the league-as a cheater. Roger Goodell needs to give Tom Brady a public apology.
FFS...the "Manning Rule" referred to the decision to let teams have their own balls and allow the QBs to rough them and and make minor adjustments to the balls to match the QBs liking. Several QBs admitted they want more or less air...but there was never any evidence that the balls were adjusted beyond legal limits.
BRADY NEEDS TO RECOUP HIS FUNDS! He shouldn't just move on from this because it affects his reputation. Sue the NFL for the money that you should've made during those suspensions and have them pay for defamation of Character too. There are alot of damages here that Brady and the Patriots can make up by going after the NFL financially.
They should've got Gil Grissom to work this case. He let's the evidence determine innocence or guilt. He doesn't determine guilt and then work the evidence to fit his conclusion.
Absolutely. We all knew at the time this was a witch hunt. So Roger, guess you'll be returning that million dollars to Kraft and give the Patriots those draft picks back...?
Just show the man the respect he deserves. He does have the of football, but on the other side he’s a dad and a husband that needs to spend more time with his family. Enjoy his children while their still young. Because they grow up so fast. I personally think Tom was great… I also feel this was the time to be more involved with his and his beautiful wife. He had the best of both worlds . Toms a A legend . He earned it . And now he deserves to have his family time. As a wife I can relate. Of course we want our husband around more and involved more in the family. Kudos to Tom Brady and his beautiful family.
I question whether or not the Pats selling so many top notch players and leaving Brady with inadequate runners and receivers at the end was a part of the parity deal.
I will never forget after the game I was like damn the colts can't stop the run game and they let up 200 yards and then have the nerve to act like a slighlty deflated ball had anything to do with them running 200 yards
Bountygate is far more serious. Paying players bonuses for injuring and damaging other players' and impacting their careers is heinous. Deflategate, however, was not just a "minor thing." It was a clear manifestation of the basic Gas Laws of Physics. An object inflated with a gas loses or gains pressure when the temperatures change. The Pat's footballs were inflated to the minimum and so went below when taken out of the warm locker room to the cool, wet field. It is ridiculous that Brady had some special deal with the ball boys. It was never even shown that there was any benefit to underinflated footballs. Golden Boy, Untouchable, Aaron Rogers could say he deliberately overinflated his footballs in public and no one gave a damn. The league wanted parity and knew that fans of many franchises were getting sick of backing losers. So scapegoat your G.O.A.T. and take a way draft picks and money.
Don't underestimate the power of that MASSIVE chip on Tom Brady's shoulder during his "revenge tour" which led to the SB win. Remember Goodell sweating his *** off waiting to hand Tom Brady the Lombardi? And when he held his hand out waiting for Brady to shake it? I watched and re-watched that moment and Tom clearly kept Goodell hanging for a nanosecond just to mess with him. I would have loved to see Tom's eyes staring at Goodell like a BOSS.
Brady does not seem like the kind of person who, having retired, would now sue the NFL for defamation of character, to see Pash and others take the witness stand and explain what went on. I think Brady would prefer to go on with life and achievement, and leave this behind him.
That mindset is what most people hate, would you just try to push it behind you if you were falsely imprisoned for crimes you didn't? How would you feel, will you sue the city or town for the actions of crooked officers and prosecutors tampering and making falsely evidence to convict you?
Why doesn't anyone bring up the NFL "front office" guy who was bringing his own footballs to the games, passing them to the ball boy and then selling them on Ebay as game used footballs? There was even video of one incident where he gave the kid a "K" ball, kid hands it to the ref, and the ref gets a bit upset and hands him back the "K" ball. Yet that executive was quietly fired and nothing became of it?
Isn't that what they did with the Saints, called them about the bounty and told them to stop, but they never did. Maybe the NFL learned a lesson about handling it in house.
ESPN did release a retraction but they did it at midnight when no one was watching. They never brought it up again. Shows you how much ESPN was trying to cover up their asses as we well.
GOAT TB12 proved the world that he was honest and right by winning 4SB after that debacle because if slight minor less air ball was the factor of Patriots winning then how come they won 3 SB after that ?
What this shows is that HATE needs to cost more. Prejudice allowed this punishment to happen EVEN THOUGH the punishers KNEW that their reasoning went against 10th Grade Physics. Nowadays hate is allowed to prevail, like this.
Even tho the NFL deliberately tried to screw Tom Brady and the Patriots, it may have pushed Tom Brady to a higher level of competiveness. TB12 hasnt won a superbowl since the beginning of his career but after this accusation he went on to appear in 5 more superbowls and win 4 of them. The "No way! No How!" comment from Rob Parker could have helped too. who knows.
I think it’s great this is coming out but any sane person should have already figure it out. Look at what Brady has done since deflategate. It’s hilariously absurd the success he’s had with Super Bowl appearance, Super Bowl wins and individual numbers combine with his age, the whole deflagrate was the biggest joke going. People who believe it just purely hate Tom and the patriots and are looking for anything to prove what he has done couldn’t be done unless you cheat, but they all don’t get it, it’s about one thing and one word to depict Tom. Sacrifice. He sacrifices more so than anyone on the planet as it has to do with his success and his career. A lot talk about it and some do it but not to the extent Tom does not even remotely close. Always thinking how do I win wether it’s throwing for 500 yards in Super Bowl or handing it off 35 times it doesn’t matter to him and people have no idea how much time he constantly puts in but I think going forward as stories come out about the off the field commitment he had people may come around I mean just this last super bowl he moved his family out of the house for 2 weeks , who does that I mean the house is probably 10000 sq’ or more and the text messaging his entire offense with the deficiency’s of the player they are going against all that film he watched just looking rewinding looking rewinding taking notes it’s the most amazing example of doing everything possible to be the most prepared person and preparing his team. Truly incredible and in unprecedented
No no…. I think this shows Flores temperament. Had he waited a year he very well might be a head coach again. He poisoned the well. Who does that? 💰💰💰 just wanted it now
We’ve known for years that there was no DeflateGate! The refs found over 10 balls from both the Colts & Pats in that game. It’s called science! When you take balls from a 78 degree temperature and put them in freezing temperatures, the PSI will reduce automatically. Same with a car’s tires when it goes from a garage to freezing temperatures. Brady got robbed of an NFL MVP cause of his egregious 4 game suspension and Matt Ryan got the award when he played far worse than Brady that season. I bet he gets robbed again this season when he leads the league in 10 stats whilst Rodgers has about 4🤮
The NFL should be investigated as a criminal enterprise. Suspend Goodell for a season without pay along with all involved. They should also admit they lied and make a public apology to all concerned.

I disagree with the players vs coaches thing. They swept the Raider who murdered someone drunk driving right under the rug
Isn't this withholding evidence to a court ? Didn't they go through 2 courts and got dismissed?

We all knew at the time this was a witch hunt. So Roger, guess you'll be returning that million dollars to Kraft and give the Patriots those draft picks back...?
Did they though? Fired up Brady enough to win it all the following year
Just show the man the respect he deserves. He does have the of football, but on the other side he’s a dad and a husband that needs to spend more time with his family. Enjoy his children while their still young. Because they grow up so fast. I personally think Tom was great… I also feel this was the time to be more involved with his and his beautiful wife. He had the best of both worlds . Toms a A legend . He earned it . And now he deserves to have his family time. As a wife I can relate. Of course we want our husband around more and involved more in the family. Kudos to Tom Brady and his beautiful family.
Just enshrine him into the Hall of Fame, with no waiting period !!!
I question whether or not the Pats selling so many top notch players and leaving Brady with inadequate runners and receivers at the end was a part of the parity deal.
I will never forget after the game I was like damn the colts can't stop the run game and they let up 200 yards and then have the nerve to act like a slighlty deflated ball had anything to do with them running 200 yards
Brady would not have spent his summer going to court if he did not believe he was innocent.
Should put Brady in HOF & he can be the 1st and only HOFer to make it while still playing!! 😆
The rest of the league celebrates. There is a a sigh of relief.
Agreed 👍.....
Replace Goodell with Brady - perfect outcome for the League and the Players.
Brady is not like Rodger Goddell Brady is not a yes sir no sir guy. The owners would never approve it.
Bountygate is far more serious. Paying players bonuses for injuring and damaging other players' and impacting their careers is heinous.
Deflategate, however, was not just a "minor thing." It was a clear manifestation of the basic Gas Laws of Physics. An object inflated with a gas loses or gains pressure when the temperatures change.
The Pat's footballs were inflated to the minimum and so went below when taken out of the warm locker room to the cool, wet field. It is ridiculous that Brady had some special deal with the ball boys. It was never even shown that there was any benefit to underinflated footballs.
Golden Boy, Untouchable, Aaron Rogers could say he deliberately overinflated his footballs in public and no one gave a damn.
The league wanted parity and knew that fans of many franchises were getting sick of backing losers. So scapegoat your G.O.A.T. and take a way draft picks and money.
This was a great interview. I just preordered the book and can't wait to read it! Thanks!

Brady’s numbers would even be better if he was allowed to play those 4 games
Don't underestimate the power of that MASSIVE chip on Tom Brady's shoulder during his "revenge tour" which led to the SB win.
Remember Goodell sweating his *** off waiting to hand Tom Brady the Lombardi? And when he held his hand out waiting for Brady to shake it? I watched and re-watched that moment and Tom clearly kept Goodell hanging for a nanosecond just to mess with him. I would have loved to see Tom's eyes staring at Goodell like a BOSS.
No shit his number would’ve been better
The NFL owes Tom Brady for keeping the game of football alive by putting him in the Hof F immediately
Brady does not seem like the kind of person who, having retired, would now sue the NFL for defamation of character, to see Pash and others take the witness stand and explain what went on. I think Brady would prefer to go on with life and achievement, and leave this behind him.
That mindset is what most people hate, would you just try to push it behind you if you were falsely imprisoned for crimes you didn't? How would you feel, will you sue the city or town for the actions of crooked officers and prosecutors tampering and making falsely evidence to convict you?
EVERYONE around the NFL makes money off controversy.
GIVE. THE. PICKS. BACK
We want the ravens n colts 1st n 4th rounds picks.
Why doesn't anyone bring up the NFL "front office" guy who was bringing his own footballs to the games, passing them to the ball boy and then selling them on Ebay as game used footballs?
There was even video of one incident where he gave the kid a "K" ball, kid hands it to the ref, and the ref gets a bit upset and hands him back the "K" ball. Yet that executive was quietly fired and nothing became of it?
Brady for Commishner
Buying the book,,,,now.
The only person that was held accountable in the WFT investigation was Gruden.
This was always a full stop NFL issue, not a Patriots/add team name issue.
Isn't that what they did with the Saints, called them about the bounty and told them to stop, but they never did. Maybe the NFL learned a lesson about handling it in house.
Why didn't Chris Mortenson ever come out and retract his story? He was duped, initially, but never did anything to correct the record.
ESPN did release a retraction but they did it at midnight when no one was watching. They never brought it up again. Shows you how much ESPN was trying to cover up their asses as we well.
Great question. Shows how many people wanted Brady gone
USA...
Big surprise that deflatgate was a bs hit job. (Sarcasm)
I have been convinced of that for years.
An apology should be issued to Brady and the team.
GOAT TB12 proved the world that he was honest and right by winning 4SB after that debacle because if slight minor less air ball was the factor of Patriots winning then how come they won 3 SB after that ?
What this shows is that HATE needs to cost more. Prejudice allowed this punishment to happen EVEN THOUGH the punishers KNEW that their reasoning went against 10th Grade Physics. Nowadays hate is allowed to prevail, like this.
The Greg Hill show is the best thing in MA right now
Duh I already knew this.
People on the payroll should be exposed for bad behavior. Coaches’ kids and other non-employees shouldn’t be fodder for sleazy sports muck rakers.
BB phone call / text is not NOT EVIDENCE ????? But biting the hand that feeds you is evidence ?????
Imagine, being under paid not being backup by the organization or ur coach when u needed. but still putting 100% on the games for them.. 🐐
Even tho the NFL deliberately tried to screw Tom Brady and the Patriots, it may have pushed Tom Brady to a higher level of competiveness. TB12 hasnt won a superbowl since the beginning of his career but after this accusation he went on to appear in 5 more superbowls and win 4 of them. The "No way! No How!" comment from Rob Parker could have helped too. who knows.
What about Eddie DeBartolo Jr.?
some people don’t know the ideal gas law and it shows
I think it’s great this is coming out but any sane person should have already figure it out. Look at what Brady has done since deflategate. It’s hilariously absurd the success he’s had with Super Bowl appearance, Super Bowl wins and individual numbers combine with his age, the whole deflagrate was the biggest joke going. People who believe it just purely hate Tom and the patriots and are looking for anything to prove what he has done couldn’t be done unless you cheat, but they all don’t get it, it’s about one thing and one word to depict Tom. Sacrifice. He sacrifices more so than anyone on the planet as it has to do with his success and his career. A lot talk about it and some do it but not to the extent Tom does not even remotely close. Always thinking how do I win wether it’s throwing for 500 yards in Super Bowl or handing it off 35 times it doesn’t matter to him and people have no idea how much time he constantly puts in but I think going forward as stories come out about the off the field commitment he had people may come around I mean just this last super bowl he moved his family out of the house for 2 weeks , who does that I mean the house is probably 10000 sq’ or more and the text messaging his entire offense with the deficiency’s of the player they are going against all that film he watched just looking rewinding looking rewinding taking notes it’s the most amazing example of doing everything possible to be the most prepared person and preparing his team. Truly incredible and in unprecedented
No no…. I think this shows Flores temperament. Had he waited a year he very well might be a head coach again. He poisoned the well. Who does that? 💰💰💰 just wanted it now
Goodell was upset with the Pats making fun of his deflated balls...
We’ve known for years that there was no DeflateGate! The refs found over 10 balls from both the Colts & Pats in that game. It’s called science! When you take balls from a 78 degree temperature and put them in freezing temperatures, the PSI will reduce automatically. Same with a car’s tires when it goes from a garage to freezing temperatures.
Brady got robbed of an NFL MVP cause of his egregious 4 game suspension and Matt Ryan got the award when he played far worse than Brady that season. I bet he gets robbed again this season when he leads the league in 10 stats whilst Rodgers has about 4🤮
We want our draft pic back!!!
Is rob Parker going to acknowledge this? Lol
I doubt he going to acknowledge it
He doesn't even have the integrity to admit he was wrong and Brady is the Goat.
time for D. P to head to NFL headquarters
The NFL should be investigated as a criminal enterprise. Suspend Goodell for a season without pay along with all involved. They should also admit they lied and make a public apology to all concerned.
