Toucher & Rich aren’t pleased the latest report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter states New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is willing to accept “some form of suspension,” because it would indicate Roger Goodell and the NFL were victorious and got everything they wanted from the Deflategate fiasco.
“So, Goodell, you can go out in the middle of the field on opening night and dance around, do a little a jig, and tell everyone how great and powerful you are that the best player in the NFL is not on the field tonight,” said Fred Toucher. “And he’s not going to allow that to happen because Brady won’t just come out and say the Wells Report was correct? That’s ridiculous."
Toucher added: “Then what are you even fighting for? Who cares? You won. The NFL has won. And by the way, if Goodell had half a brain, he would realize you won everything that you wanted. If he accepts the penalty for not cooperating, you’ve told the NFLPA, ‘you play ball with me, you’re screwed.’”
