He still didn’t refer to him by name, but Terrell Suggs didn’t take the bait when asked whether the punishment against the New England Patriots and quarterback Tom Brady for the slight deflation of their footballs in the AFC championship game would diminish Brady’s legacy.
“I don’t think you can,” Suggs said. “The guy’s a winner. He’s won with whatever kind of personnel he’s had, so I don’t think it really tarnishes it.”
Brady was suspended four games, and the Patriots were fined $1 million and draft picks for what the NFL deemed to be gross violations of the rules about deflating footballs.
