Goodell did some good. Not as much good as I wanted, but he hit the Patriots with a lot. We wanted two #1 draft picks lost. They lost a #1 and a #4. We wanted Brady suspended for 6 games (so that it would be appealed down to 4), and Brady got hit with 4 games. We wanted 3X fines, they got 4X fines at $1MM.
Patriots fans are crying foul right now. They think the world is jealous of them and their rings, so they have all kinds of elaborate conspiracy theories. It is a freaking joke. They are in denial. Wait until the 2015 season when inexplicably (to everyone but us and Mr. Warren Sharp) the YAC for the Patriots drops and the number of fumbles (per play) rises. They will be all confused, blaming it everywhere except where it was sourced- Brady’s previously deflated football that are no more. The biggest story that is being completely missed by the mainstream media is the fumbles. The advantage to Brady’s grip on the footballs he threw was there. But the psycho advantage in the dramatic drop in fumbles is the real and ginormous advantage.
In another post by Warren Sharp, he notes another seemingly incidental detail from the Wells Report that was crucial to the understanding of DeflateGate. Take a guess, football fans, which year Jim McNally of Deflator fame became the Officials Locker Room Attendant ? If you read DeflateGate Part 3, you would be correct to guess… 2007! Coincidence? Methinks not.
The bottomline is that this deflating activity was much more serious than most can comprehend right now. I am a little more than eager to see what the fumbles look like for New England in 2015. I know enough about statistics and circumstance to be strongly certain that their fumble rate is about to go up.
