Imagine you boss suspending you without pay for 1/4 of the year because you refused to hand over your cell phone and personal emails.

The ironic part here is that by appealing, Brady now has to give up the phone anyways. So if he had nothing to hide to begin with, he basically got suspended for being hard headed. But when you start seeing pathetic excuses like this, there is likely something to hide

Jim McNally didn’t call himself The Deflator because he took air out of footballs, more probably than not at the behest of Tom Brady.
He called himself that because he’s fat.
That’s another of the arguments forwarded by the Patriots in their really long (nearly 20,000 words) refutation of the Ted Wells Report.
The Patriots explain that John Jastremski is a “slender guy,” and usually tried to work out and bulk up. McNally is described as “a big fellow,” and was trying to lose weight.
The Patriots contend investigators had possession of the “espn/deflator” text initially, but didn’t ask McNally about it in their first interview.
“Had they done so, they would have learned from either gentleman one of the ways they used the deflation/deflator term,” they wrote. “‘Deflate’ was a term they used to refer to losing weight.”
They cite specific texts including one which read “deflate and give somebody that jacket.”
“There was nothing complicated or sinister about it,” they wrote, before going through a blow-by-blow of previous texts between McNally and Jastremski which references beer pong and women whose names were “omitted out of respect to Mrs. Jastremski.”
