The NFL's Uneccessary Attack on Tom Brady

I hope the NFL realizes that by suspending Tom Brady for anything more than a game (and there are reports of 6-8), the league is opening a door for many NFL teams to do exactly what the Indianapolis Colts did. By accusing the Patriots of deflating the footballs during the AFC championship game, they created a mess in football. It has become clear to me over the past few months that all quarterbacks like to adjust their footballs to their personal liking. Brady apparently deflates, while other quarterbacks like Aaron Rodgers prefer inflating. The point is it seems most if not all quarterbacks in the league do a little tinkering before the game starts. So, because it seems probable that Tom Brady did this the league is going to suspend him half the season? It's ridiculous. Ray Rice just last year initially was suspended just two games for assaulting his then fiance. So, to think that the NFL will suspend one of the faces of the league for probably telling the ball boys to slightly deflate the balls is beyond me. The NFL better get this right.
