I know very little about the NFL and the way they deal with such matters, but as a lawyer I find this is being handled very poorly. I also think that it can only be called evidence of any wrongdoing if some of the information on the phone is actually recovered. What you have now is essentially that Brady destroyed a phone. That proves nothing. That people act as if it does is very disturbing.
except this is not really 'legal' stuff, it's up to the commissioner's discretion, but if it were a truly legal matter and a subpoeana was issued which i would imagine would include electronic communication as materials sought then destroying the phone would be destruction of evidence.

you going with an all eagle lineup again? coz im pretty sure no one else is taking any eagle scrubs in their lineups
That's funny. I wouldn't mind taking Bradford but as far as running backs, I'm not touching our players. Our WR corps could have some decent sleeper options tho.

The NFL does not have the power to subpoena

The issue at hand, according to the report, is that the phone in question where they requested in order to review the texts, was destroyed, and it was destroyed on the day that Brady was set to meet for the first time regarding the case. When the investigators requested access to the text messages, he and his agent refused to allow that to happen. Only when he went back to start the appeal process of the suspension did he inform them that the phone was in fact destroyed. Also, despite his claims that he routinely destroys his phones, the one prior to the phone in question was not.

Also, when the NFL presented them the opportunity to bring in the two other people in question with deflating the footballs, they would not allow the NFL to talk to them.


Take what you will from that
