I can't defend Adrian Peterson or Ray Rice, but as far as Ray Lewis, there's a law in all 50 states that said a person has a right to defend themselves, you might of heard of it, it's called 'self defense'. If you had actually watched the Ray Lewis trial, broadcast live on Courtv, you would of learned that he and the other two men in his party was attacked by 5 men from Ohio. Those were the guys with the gun, the one that put 5 bullet holes in Ray's limo. It's all there for you to read on the internet, but like they say, never let a few facts get in the way of a good story, or reply.

As far as the Pats punishment. If in the beginning Tom has said, yes I like the ball a little less inflated and it's that wrong, then I must be guilty. He denied any knowledge, so they asked the equipment personnel and after reading their emails, they asked to see Tom's phone. Tom said no. Then they asked to just see a print out of the emails and his lawyer could bring them by. Tom said no. Then Robert Kraft said, when all of this is done and we're exeronated, I expect a full apology from the league. Then when Tom was visiting a college last week, he was asked his opinion of the report. He said, I haven't had time to read it all, but when I do, I'll make sure to let you know what I think.

This is just like every other event in history, the cover up is why the punishment doesn't fit the crime, and a total arrogant behavior from the top down is why New England is in this position. It's just that simple.

I hate people who respond with Facts!!!!!
