BELICHICK NEVER BELIEVED TOM BRADY REGARDING DEFLATEGATE (Per Sources)

Belichick never believed Brady's Deflategate story, says Boston reporter

By CHRIS CHASE

All through the Deflategate process, one in which many voices were shouting many different things, there was one group that was conspicuously quiet: NFL quarterbacks, past and present.

Oh, a few would do a demonstration on PSI for television cameras or give a perfunctory quote about their own preference for an ideal football, but no one at all came rushing to Brady’s defense. There were two inferences to make from this: First, everybody was doing the same exact thing, so they hoped Brady’s saga would end quickly so they could get back to tailoring footballs to their specificities. Or, as Boston Herald writer Ron Borges told a Boston sports program this week, nobody besides Don Yee lept to Brady’s defense because no one believed his story, including Bill Belichick.

$40 Million + per year as base salary, hmmm, Goodell? So sick of the SPIN from the Commissioner and the Patriots

Roger Goodell said he has not had a chance to study the NFLPA's official request to recuse himself from Brady appeal.

+SPORTS CR3W finds it extremely difficult to believe that a man of his stature, position, wisdom, overwhelming ego, has not procured every aspect of this appeal. If he has not, which he claims, than once again, +Roger Goodell gives us even more desire than previously held for the return of a man we trusted and truly respected, the former +NFL commissioner, Paul Tagliablue, or a man cut from the same cloth as him.

NFL is what it is today because of two great hall of fame caliber commissioners that preceded Goodell. Haven't trusted Goodell because of they way he 'covered up' Spygate and then brought a hammer down on the +New Orleans Saints and Sean Payton for Bountygate that didn't even make one player in the league cry foul, and former players. Even players that were named as ones targeted by the Saints players such as Brett Favre. 

Suffice it to say, deflategate, spygate, and recording defensive coordinators signals during games had a much different and opposite outcry from current, past (even the greatest to play) and surefire, future Hall of Famers. How can the casual and potential fan of the great game of football and the NFL trust this guy? The +New England Patriots and Goodell have had several incidents of distrust and cover ups that just carries on... This is not trial court nor litigation. This is a sports game that American boys and girls grow up loving, and now polls show that a mere 61% look at one of the faces of this league and sport as a role model. To put it lightly, that is embarrassing for this caliber and juggernaut of a league and operation and in our opinion, completely UNACCEPTABLE!

Owner Robert Kraft took a step back Tuesday, viewing the Patriots’ drama through a wider lens. After initially contesting the findings of Deflategate, Kraft said from the owners spring meeting that he would “reluctantly accept” commissioner Roger Goodell’s discipline of the team and not appeal the discipline.

This represents a stark reversal for Kraft. Kraft insisted the Wells’ report was flawed and that quarterback Tom Brady told him the truth when he said he did nothing against the rules regarding the use of deflated footballs in the AFC Championship game.

Kraft insisted Tuesday that he didn’t want the “rhetoric to continue,” noting it was not good for the league. He didn’t say whether he will advise Brady to drop the appeal of his four-game suspension. The NFL Players Association announced that Kraft’s decision will not impact Brady’s position. The Patriots received a record-breaking $1-million fine and lost a number one draft pick in 2016 and a fourth-round selection in 2017.

“Mr. Kraft is a brilliant businessman,” said former offensive lineman Damien Woody. “This was good for business.” Continue to read story from the The Denver Post

Robert Kraft says Tom Brady told him that he had Zero Involvement in the 11 of 12 Deflated balls during AFC Championship game

+New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft continues to lash out against the +NFL for its Deflategate punishment because he has unwavering trust in his quarterback.

Kraft, who’s already in San Francisco for the NFL Spring Meeting -- where he’ll be face-to-face with commissioner Roger Goodell and the other 31 team owners -- told the MMQB.com’s +Peter King that he believes Patriots quarterback Tom Brady had no knowledge of deflated footballs.

“Yes. Because we had the discussion: 'If you did it, let’s just deal with it and take our hit and move on,'” Kraft said. “I’ve known Tommy 16 years, almost half his life. He’s a man, and he’s always been honest with me, and I trust him. I believed what he told me. He has never lied to me, and I have found no hard or conclusive evidence to the contrary.”

Belichick Claims to have no Knowledge of Deflated AFC Championship Footballs...?

When something starts to look and smell like a cheat, it means it is because they are one?? +roger goodell +NFLs hammer on 'ignorance.' Ask +New Orleans Saints Head Coach, Sean Payton about this. If he was doing something that merited a season's worth of suspension and pay, pretty sure Belichick faces an 'execution' to some degree. "CHEATING" however small and ignorant is not okay by Goodell's own admission. Time to pony up and that is BEFORE the +Super Bowl 2015 Glendale.
