ESPN's resident talking head Stephen A. Smith slammed Brady in the aftermath, but it was former-ESPN employee, now HBO personality Bill Simmons who fired the most eye-opening shot:
Simmons continued to weigh in on the Brady situation, taking aim at NFL commissioner Roger Goodell:
FYI - DeflateGate stopped being about Brady a few months ago. It's now about Goodell legally protecting his power to do whatever he wants.

Nobody cares b/c the DeflateGate story is too dense and nobody has the time to follow it... But that's what DeflateGate is now.

Goodell could have suspended Brady for 5 seasons / we'd be in the same place right now. NFLPA gave him the power to do whatever he wants.

Brady's last option is to take his fight to the Supreme Court. We'll see how much longer this never-ending thriller that is DeflateGate goes.
