Roger Goodell, (NFL commissioner), always talks about "protecting the integrity of the shield". This speaks more of the culture of the Belechik, (Belicheat), regime in N.E. more than anything else.
Between Spygate and Deflategate, their legacy is tarnished. IMHO
Tom Brady is arguably the greatest QB to play the game of terms of Super Bowls wins. Having these controversies only diminishes what has been accomplished.
Would they have won as many games as they did? I'll leave that to the so called experts.
There was no need to cheat as they are both great at what they do and arguably are the best combo in all of sports. Like baseball players who used PED's to get the extra advantage.
Again, this speaks more of the culture and the desire to win at all costs. It's ok to be a fierce competitor and to try everything to get youself ready, when you are to play your opponents, but this crosses the line. IMHO
I'd say a four game suspension for Tom Brady as Roger Goodell should get this one right and not bungle this issue, as he did with Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson.
