After it was announced that the NFL had decided to suspend New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady for 4 games because of his probable involvement in “DeflateGate”, his agent immediately went on the defense a tirade. Brady’s agent Don Yee presumed to vigorously defend his client, while calling out both the integrity of the league and its investigation as depicted in the Wells Report. He issued several statements, noting that an appeal of the 4-game suspension was imminent.
Among his statements, Yee accused the Colts of collusion, citing that there was premeditated planning involved of trying to catch the Patriots red-handed lighter-handed in the deflation of footballs:
“The report also presents significant evidence the NFL participated with the Colts in some type of pre-AFC Championship Game planning regarding the footballs,” Don Yee said.
