Let’s get the “inflategate” thing over once and for all! Even though it started as much ado about nothing, by his responses to the NFL Brady has made it actually achieve significance in a way that will severely impact not only his legacy but the future of the team. He probably never asked that the ball be inflated to a lower pressure, but he had to know it was happening. To lie about it and to childishly destroy his phone can not and must not be forgiven. While Brady will always be one of the great quarterbacks of all time, his personal integrity will continue to be questioned until he comes clean. That is a lesson that some individuals never get. In this case it not only impacts himself, but the integrity of the sport he represents. Mr. Goodell has dealt with this correctly and must not reduce or remove the punishment.
