Punchlines: More Deflategate, more excuses
After you get a new cellphone, what do you do with your old one? Destroy it, of course, according to Tom Brady. Which is what he did in March. And just like that, about 10,000 text messages were gone. Too bad, because investigators into Deflategate wanted to see some of those. Instead, the NFL upheld the four-game suspension of the New England Patriots star quarterback.
While Brady insists no one in the Patriots organization did anything wrong, Larry Wilmore says things don’t look good because everyone knows how difficult it must have been to destroy a phone containing photos texted from Gisele Bundchen (Brady’s wife) on it. That evidence must have been bad. Who else had advice for Brady and how did coach Bill Belichik respond to questions at a news conference? Watch Punchlines to find out.
