No they didn't. Tom fucked himself by lying and refusing to cooperate. THAT is what got Tom his 4 game suspension, not the deflating balls. Had he told the truth and cooperated, at the least he's looking at a small fine and at the absolute worst it may have been a 1 game suspension.

They normally do if the situation calls for it. Breaking a rule within the game is one thing, manipulating situations to favor you during games is something completely different.

So you consider manipulating air pressure in balls (not a normal game act and outside the game) to a hard hit (within the game) the same? It's not the same. Breaking a rule during the game is one thing and they are punished according. Those same guys that continue to hit hard also see fines increase and finally see suspensions. Did you not see many of the suspensions last year due to continued pattern of illegal hits? I believe our safety was one of them.

One is during the course of the game and is penalized via flags/yards and possible ejection depending on the action. The other is manipulating events or situations outside of the course of the game that could possibly affect a future game. They are totally different and not sure why I even need to explain that.

It wasn't the same situation and I dont' recall Minnesota outright lying to the commissioner or refusing to cooperate.

When somebody turns in the Packers for deflating balls, I imagine he will be under investigation. I think Rodgers was just saying it was a common thing, which is why I believe the original punishment would have been a simple fine and slap on the wrist. However, Tom and the Patriots decided to play the "fuck you and your investigation" card and they paid dearly for it.




You are going off on a wild tangent to say the least and somehow you think the league has it out for Brady. If anything, the league has done nothing BUT protect Brady. Tuck rule ring a bell? The mere fact they changed the rules about defenders lunging at knees after Brady gets an ACL tear, yet didn't do shit when it happened to Carson Palmer? Puhhhhlease.....stop making Brady out to be some god damn victim.
