Because Goodell Knows that an NFL quarterback knows how his equipment is handled. A QB's equipment being a football. I'm sure you believe Slash doesn't understand how a guitar works either. Acting like Brady doesn't know because it's in a different book is a joke, and you have to know that.
I think this is a huge part of the public's perception and something that is heard constantly.
And... I think it is a huge pile if bullshti and, to a large extent, the heart of this entire asinine "scandal"
Do NFL QBs have preferences on how they like the footballs? Of course.
Brady obviously likes the ball on the lower end of the PSI scale. In the Wells report, the equip guy jokes about "fcku Tom, I'm going to make the balls like rugby balls".
So does a QB have a feel for the ball? Of course. But this notion that you can hand a ball to a QB and he would be able to tell you the fckuing PSI is total bullshti. So you can hand two balls to Peyton Manning and he can tell you, "this ball is 11.8 psi and this one is 11.1 psi"?? Bullshti. All he can tell you, maybe, is that one is a hair softer than the other.
And that's what you're basing your entire bullshti opinion on... a QBs ability to tell you the exact psi at any given moment. Because if a QB can't tell you, almost exactly, what the psi in a ball is at any given moment, there is no way Brady could know that the balls were outside the range of the rules.
And like I have asked people to show me multiple times on this thread.... Show me where in the Wells Report Brady tells anyone to break a rule. He doesn't. He btiches at his equip guys that the balls are too stiff.
And from that everyone makes this huge leap to "Brady has to know therefore he is the ringleader of the most damaging cheating scandal in the history of organized sports!!!"
It's fckuing stupid. Ridiculously stupid.
