Tell that to Ben Rothleisberger. Dude got suspended based on the same amount of evidence that was on Brady. "More probable than not". Do we remember how the conduct policy came about? Largely because PacMan Jones kept getting charged but not convicted. Again, "more probable than not". What makes it maddening is that Ben's"crime" shouldn't have been under the NFL's scope while Brady's should be. If in any area the commish should be given a blank check on discipline, it would be the stuff that happens in the stadium. Instead, the NFLPA gave him full power over things that happen outside of it.
But the NFLPA can no longer fight it because they gave him that power in the CBA.
