    How much would the National enquirer pay for a headline that read "Inside Scoop - "I let the air out of Tom Brady's balls!"?

    As long as they moved out of New England, they'd never have to buy another drink in their lives.

    Woody Johnson wood write them a $10,000,000 check as fast as you can say Spygate.

    They don't owe the NFL anything.

    So, WHY don't they throw Tom under the bus?
    They no doubt signed a contract that will not let them discuss ANYTHING about their time with the Pats* or be they will be sued for every penny they will ever possess.

      Because they're patriots fans, and throwing Tom under the bus destroys the team's legacy permanently.

          So why isn't that the official story from the team? Why have they twisted themselves in knots to insist no deflation occurred if the purpose of the deflation was to uphold the letter of the law?

          Yes. You're familiar with the concept of a non-disclosure agreement, right?

            What's that to them when they can't pay the rent?

            The Patriots' legacy vs millions of dollars...

            Hmmmmmm.

              It is called a non-disclosure clause.

              But you SHOULD KNOW about that.

                Got it. You can't shut up about how sports makes people irrational when it benefits your argument, but when it hurts you it's UNFATHOMABLE that the heart/gut could win out.

                  1. Please quote me the official story from the team. You and I might have different ideas of what it said.

                  2. I haven't seen the part where they twist themselves into knots to insist no deflation occurred. Of course deflation occurred.

                  3. It's not their job to make a prosecutors case.

                  Yes. You're familiar with the concept of a non-disclosure agreement, right?
                  Yes. Is there one in place? If so, what does it stipulate? I don't think a non-disclosure agreement means you can be sued by the perpetrator of a crime you revealed.

                    Is there a non-disclosure clause? Does it forbid them revealing criminal behavior?

                      What crime was perpetrated? It's not a crime to deflate footballs because the NFL asks you not to. It's against league rules, but it's not a crime. Breach of contract IS a crime, however.

                        Boo hoo hoo. I'm such a cynic.

                        Now, once again, the "legacy" of a billion dollar business that belongs to someone else vs millions of dollars...

                        Hmmmm.

                            Oh, now we're going to quibble over metaphors? Really? Do I have to dumb it down for you too? Okay.

                              How much could you crowd-source if you could guarantee the head of Tom Brady?

                                I have not read their contract, but I would imagine it would prevent them from discussing anything that happened while under contract to that CHEATING team.

                                And while deflating footballs is against NFL rules, there is no LAW about that, so it is not criminal behavior.
