The new book on Tom Brady is really a story about three men and the political theatre of a multi-billion dollar industry, the shaping of public perceptions, and the destructive grab for power. Casey Sherman and Dave Wedge, a couple of Boston sports writers, have crafted a well-written account of one of the most bizarre controversies in NFL history. Yes, this is the “Deflategate” book that needed to be written. The book opens on the infamous AFC Championship game that launched the Patriots to yet another Super Bowl appearance. The game against the Colts was an absolute blowout but the afterglow didn’t last long as a tweet by a local Indianapolis sports writer tipped off the world that the Patriots may be involved in another cheating scandal.
