The big differences between Tom Brady, Peyton Manning cases

The comparison is inevitable: In the past 18 months, the NFL has investigated its two best quarterbacks of this generation for possible violations of league policy.

Peyton Manning was exonerated Monday because the league determined it had no "credible evidence" that he had been provided with or used any substances banned by its drug policy.

Tom Brady was suspended four games, and gave up on the appeal process earlier this month, after the league determined he was "more probable than not" to have been aware of an alleged scheme to deflate footballs prior to the 2014 AFC Championship Game.
