Go ahead, NFL. Suspend Tom Brady.
In the wake of findings revealed in the latest Wells Report, this one stemming from the Deflategate investigation, now is not the time to suddenly go soft and underinflated with discipline — even when it would mean sitting one the league's icons.
If Cleveland Browns general manager Ray Farmer was banned four games for text messaging his coaching staff during a game, if Atlanta Falcons president Rich McKay was temporarily kicked off the competition committee he chairs for noise pollution at the Georgia Dome, if coach Sean Payton and GM Mickey Loomis were suspended a few years ago amid the New Orleans Saints bounty scandal, then Brady needs to take a seat, too, in the name of integrity.
