Cork a bat? 8 game suspension.
Tar a baseball? 8 game suspension.
Use a nail file on a baseball? 10 games suspension.
Intentionally and deceptively tamper with a football's inflation? 4 game suspension.
This argument that Brady is a great QB who would've still beaten the Colts, properly inflated footballs or not, is completely missing the point. Almost every major sport equipment cheating scandal involves a guy (or gal) who doesn't need to cheat, that nonetheless is still uses manipulation of equipment to try to gain an advantage. Brady is good? Big deal. Being sneaky behind the officials back just makes Tom look more brazen and more deceitful. The precedent is clear across other major sports: don't [gary patterson] with game equipment or you face a multi-game suspension. Think 4 games (25% of the season) is too much? Relax. An arbiter will probably be called, who will probably knock it down to 2-3 games. Still don't like it? Don't [gary patterson] with the game equipment!
