The NFL is looking for transparency and New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady apparently destroyed his phone on the same day he was supposed to speak to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. So Brady destroyed evidence that the NFL is looking for. Brady is hiding behind lawyers, agents, his owner Bob Kraft and other people.

Which now poses a lot of legalees and you can tell that he’s trying to hide something and it all boils down to if the NFL cared if he cheated it’s about the cover up behind the cheating and the denial of the cheating. In light of deflategate and spygate with the Patriots over the years and the questionable formations that the Patriots ran against the Ravens in the AFC playoffs last season which were legal mind you.

The Pats just pushed the limits of the rules and Brady has grown up in that atmosphere where if your not cheating your not trying. On Brady’s appeal it’s not costing him a penny. The Player’s Association is footing the bill for all of Brady’s legal needs. So it’s not costing Brady a penny and of course the union is going to side on Brady’s behalf and not the employer.

Also the union has something in it too because Tom Brady pays the union, let’s fall back when head coach Bill Belichick was asked about the deflated football. Belichick says you have to go and ask Brady because he would control how the football is inflated. One of the things that Belichick is falling back on is the Patriots feel it’s not that big of a deal.

It is a huge deal when your looking number of times that the Patriots receivers and running backs lost fumbles last season because if the ball is underpressurized it’s easier to grab. It’s less likely your going to fumble the football. The Pats lost only one fumble all last year. You look at the turnover ratio and if you have football that’s inflated correctly and the opposition offense is using it and the chances of popping out during a hit is greater as opposed to an underinflated football where the Patriots can grab and hold onto easier.
