No, there actually isn't. The decrease in pressure is adequately explained by environmental factors. There is in fact little or no chance a person intentionally deflated the footballs. When you take into account the temperature and dampness, the person doing the deflating would have to remove such a tiny, insignificant amount of air that it would a) be impossible to do with a crude needle and b) imperceptible by Tom Brady.

Win win win win
He won't because he is spineless. Doesn't want to rock the boat.
Edit: Also all this is his own damn fault. Kept backing Goodell on shit decision after shit decision. Had he not done that this would have never gotten to this point.

3 of the Colts balls were also under inflated. They only checked 4 because it wasnt a witch hunt against the colts. They also used two different gauges that gave different readings. Also the referees did not recall which gauge they used.
Who knows what happened but it wasn't an enforced rule. For all we know the Pats submitted the balls under inflated and the refs Okayed them. The NFL jumped the gun and needed a real policy against this before trying to hang a team on it.

Why did Brady break his phone again?
Tom Brady got bitch hands. That's why he deflated the ball. A Stan for a judge doesn't change that.

Proof that cheaters win. And people will celebrate them for it.
why does the phone matter again?
Up and coming QB, Solid defense a 17-0 season. Recently they have disappointed but overall I am pretty happy.
I'm referring more to the text messages, which are kind of tough to contextualize in any other way. I agree that the evidence of tampering during the AFC game is pretty thin.
He broke his phone after he was told he did not need it, only the texts. Didn't you know that? Oh yeah, you did not read the report did you? The report stated that.
Tom Brady's broken phone does not prove footballs were deflated, nor did it impede the investigation.
There is nearly no evidence that any cheating was going on here. What this is proof of is that people who want to believe a particular narrative will believe it no matter what the facts say.

lol, He broke his nice phone because he didn't need it for evidence?

Justice prevails.
The sad thing is the court didn't even take into account the shoddiness of the Wells report. The legal system continues to allow arbitrators to determine their own facts, which is why many large corps (for example Sony and Microsoft) write into their terms that all disputes will be solved by arbitration.
it's "more probable than not" that the context of those text messages was in regards to a jets game where the footballs were over inflated and Tom was pissed about it. the ball boys seemed pretty frustrated with Tom so he was probably pretty hard on them to make sure it never happened again.

What's keeping Goodell in position right now? Is it a voted job, or can he be switched out on a whim?

I don't think it's that unusual for a famous person to destroy their phones regularly.
He did it because that's standard practice for people in the public eye. If you get a new phone and you trade in your old one like a normal person, it's possible for whoever gets their hands on it to recover data off it even if you have reset the phone. And as someone who has worked in cell phone retail, I can tell you that if I were anyone important, I would be very concerned about whose hands that phone might end up in.
also did he actually break his phone? the NFL was very strategic with their choice of words when they said he "destroyed" it. he likely got a new phone and just threw the other phone away.
the NFL wants everyone to think that Tom went all Breaking Bad on his phone and snapped it in half to cover up for his "cheating"
He broke his phone because he got a new one, like he does every year. (He does not always break them, he gives them to his attendant who sometimes keeps it)
Also in the report...

Thanks for that context; do you have any sources on this?
Someone think about the phones.
It's really text message, and it's pretty meaningless without any actual evidence balls were intentionally deflated.

If I'm reading it right, I think he wants to make love to Tom Brady on a raptor. It sounds sweet and quite the turnaround from his previous posts.

He did not lock himself in. He took 93 seconds to take a piss and wash his hands.
It is in the NFL edited and falsified report.
NNNNooooooooooooooooo. You fucked up, just accept it and move on and all will be forgotten by week 4.

lets all wager just how much money this is going to cost the league when it finally ends.
I'm thinking 25 million (if ten million was already spent up to this point)
And they're going to appeal.

Less than a 10% chance of overturn. Judge Berman has Preference.
