Tom Brady is meeting with the NFL league offices today, to attempt at proving the league they were wrong in suspending him four games to begin the NFL regular season. This deflategate saga has been going on for months now. Weeks before the Patriots captured the teams forth Super Bowl. As a Patriots fan I have believed this was ridiculous from the start. This opinion has only grown stronger after the Wells Report was released along with all the information that has been released following this story.
Brady does not deserve this, it is clear that there is not enough information against Brady to warrant a suspension, but the league could not go without giving him at least one game. Not after coming down so hard on both Brady and the team.
The New England Patriots open up the season hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers. A team which is always going to put up a fight, led by a quarterback who knows all about controversy, Ben Roethlisberger. A good first test for the team I believe is going back to the Super Bowl. Suspension or not, the Patriots will answer the call and make another run. The revamped Buffalo Bills squad could test the Pats, but even when the team didn't have the best roster, AFC east battles are always tough.
I am very interested to hear how these talks go, and what kind of impression Tom Brady makes on the league. I do not believe the NFL is out to get Brady, but I do think they feel they must do something after so much was made of deflategate. So many former players, coaches and GM's have let there opinion be heard. Many defending Tom Brady and many against his alleged actions.
I can confidently say that once this is all done Brady will not be sitting out four games, and the league may have to take back some of its actions towards the New England Patriots as well. Today should be a step towards that.
