Eli Manning sympathizes with Tom Brady over DeflateGate ban

Eli Manning wasn’t happy at all to hear the news that his friend, Tom Brady, was suspended by the NFL in the wake of DeflateGate.

Then again, the Giants quarterback said, rules are rules.

“I don’t like to see anybody get suspended, I don’t like to see anybody get in trouble, so in no way am I glad to see this happen,” Manning said, moments after the news was announced. “I think it is about integrity and you have to follow the rules. So if someone’s breaking rules I understand they’re going to get punished.
