FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Tom Brady’s agent says the NFL was determined to blame the Patriots quarterback for deflated footballs in the AFC title game, and that the investigation omitted key facts and buried others.
Don Yee released a statement Thursday saying the report prepared by NFL-appointed investigator Ted Wells was “a significant and terrible disappointment.”
Yee said the report “reached a conclusion first, and then determined so-called facts later,” and said Wells’ firm makes a lot of money from the NFL and put out a report that benefits the league.
Yee emphasized that the league should not have allowed a sting operation in a playoff game, and that Wells left out most of Brady’s testimony.
