Patriots more likely than not tampered with FBs; Brady More likely than not knew about it.

This gives us an excellent opportunity to explore a little-understood aspect of the Sandusky case. The civil standard is usually "More likely than not," or "more probable than not."

That's the standard used to fire Joe Paterno, C,S, and S. Some here seem to think that you have to wait until these guys are convicted of a crime to fire them. You don't. Criminal conviction requires 'beyond a reasonable doubt." No need to wait for that, as--ironically--Ken Frazier was saying correctly when he got all whipped up into a racist frenzy with Bill Cluck.

Employer does an investigation, concludes it is more likely than not that you f'ed up, they can fire you even if you have a contract which says you can only be fired for cause. Of course if you are an at-will employee you can be fired for any reason or no reason, just so long as it is not an illegal reason like age or race discrimination.

The NFL no doubt has enough proof to punish both the Pats and Brady.

Shady Tom Brady.

Even though I do like and respect U-M football, I've never been a Brady fan. Great quarterback but a very low character individual. Him leaving his pregnant girlfriend to go date a supermodel (who clearly runs Tom's life, down to the details of dressing him and his hairstyle) --- not cool.

Actually, the report is almost a white-wash. It says Brady was paying them, yet avoids the obvious:
Does anyone doubt they would have been deflating the balls if Brady hadn't asked them to do it?

Goodell is the kind of jamoke who would fit right in on the OGBOT.
