Tom Brady’s agent completely rips Wells Report for being inaccurate
Tom Brady is all over the news today as the Ted Wells investigation released its report, detailing the knowledge that the quarterback had of the Deflategate situation.
If you haven’t been paying attention to the news lately, or if you flat-out live under a rock, the Ted Wells’ Report has been released and it has been detailed with facts regarding the situation, along with text messages and supposed “hard evidence” claiming Tom Brady and the New England Patriots knew about the deflating of footballs all along.
Brady, a 16-year vet who was drafted in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft, is known as one of the most honest, genuine players in the league — I guess I should say he had been known as such. Now that the Deflategate scandal is public, he is taking serious heat.
People around the league are calling for a suspension of the four-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback and three-time Super Bowl MVP while he sits back and takes all of the criticism. His agent, Don Yee, took it to the Wells Report, ripping it apart.
Besides having ridiculous headlines and back covers regarding the Brady situation, the New York Daily News provided information regarding his agent’s reaction.
Yes, it’s not just a slanderous paper, but it has real news, too. According to Daily News, Brady’s agent had this to say about the report:
"The Wells report, with all due respect, is a significant and terrible disappointment. Its omission of key facts and lines of inquiry suggest the investigators reached a conclusion first, and then determined so-called facts later. One item alone taints this entire report.What does it say about the league office’s protocols and ethics when it allows one team to tip it off to an issue prior to a championship game, and no league officials or game officials notified the Patriots of the same issue prior to the game?This suggests it may be more probable than not that the league cooperated with the Colts in perpetrating a sting operation."
Yee didn’t stop there, however, as he continued to blast the report, citing glaring problems.
"The investigators’ assumptions and inferences are easily debunked or subject to multiple interpretations. Much of the report’s vulnerabilities are buried in the footnotes, which is a common legal writing tactic. It is a sad day for the league as it has abdicated the resolution of football-specific issues to people who don’t understand the context or culture of the sport."
It’s pretty clear that Brady and his agent will be fighting any suspension that will be pressed upon him.
