DeflateGate report changes view of Brady

Well, how can I put this?

Tom Brady wasn't honest with us.

Disagree?

Before the Super Bowl, he stood in front of a host of media and said he didn't alter the football.

Yeah, and Watergate was all about water.

The Wells Report finally was released, and we have a "more probable than not" idea what happened.

The footballs were altered. And Brady had a pretty good idea, too.

On top of that, the Golden Boy of Football wasn't very cooperative with the investigation.

It makes me sick.

It's cheating. And the Patriots got away with it.

Again.

It's not performance-enhancing drugs, but this can be packaged in the same group of Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez, Ryan Braun and Lance Armstrong.

All denied doing anything wrong.

Then things changed.

Brady deserves to be suspended.

How can the NFL have Lev Bell miss two games for marijuana use and Brady go unscathed?

Now we need to see what commissioner Roger Goodell has planned.

Hopefully it doesn't take him 100-plus days to determine a punishment.

Pirates opener: A lot to like

I'm a sucker for opening day. I've been going to Three Rivers/PNC Park many years now to kick off the start to Pirates' season in good times and bad. I enjoy the crowds, the ceremonies and all of trimmings that come with the opener. Monday at PNC Park was no different. Except if you're looking at the Pirates' record at PNC. Zach Duke looked like an all-star, the offense looked like the Lumber Company of old and the crowd had one heck of a time celebrating the Bucs' 7-0 win. It was just the Pirates third win at a PNC Park opener. The game was one to remember. Adam LaRoche (!) and Ryan Doumit hit home runs, Freddy Sanchez looked like a former batting champion and the fans actually had "the wave" going around the park. But it was Duke's day. It was his third career shutout and the first shutout in a home opener since 1978. Yeah, it was a good day. It all came together for the Pirates. Maybe there's more down the road this year.

Didn't Antonio Brown just get paid?

Didn't Antonio Brown just get paid? That was the first question that popped into my mind when I heard he wanted a new deal from the Steelers. I remember the details: Mike Wallace wanted more money than the Steelers wanted to offer, so the Steelers turned around and signed Brown to a $43 million deal over six years. That was 2012. Today, we learned that Brown will skip offseason workouts in the hope of getting a new deal. Honor your contract. It's that simple. Brown signed a deal that caused some people to scratch their heads at the time. It looked like a great deal for Brown. And after two seasons, it looked like the Steelers made a terrific call with the long-term deal. Brown had almost 1,700 yards receiving last year to go with 13 TD catches. That's a heck of a season. However, in exchange for long-term security, Brown looks like a bargain today. That's how it works. Or, at least that's how it's supposed to work. Now Brown wanted paid e...
