Tom Brady should not have been suspended
Jeff Siner/Charlotte Observer/TNSTom Brady should have never been suspended by the NFL, a ruling Judge Richard Berman overturned on Sept. 3.
If Berman had upheld his suspension, either faulty logic from the Wells Report, or the decision to find the balls deflated without evidence, would have been rewarded.
The debate over text messages, a destroyed cellphone and an overall power struggle between the NFL and its employees — the players — has hidden one reality.
It is not even clear the New England Patriots’ footballs were deflated.
