the inside story of Tom Brady's fight for redemption
In January 2015, rumors circulated that the New England Patriots-- a team long suspected of abiding by the "if you ain't cheating you ain't trying" philosophy-- had used under-inflated footballs in their playoff victory against the Indianapolis Colts. A full-on NFL investigation was launched, exploding an unsubstantiated rumor into an intense scandal that would lead news coverage for weeks, even as the Patriots and Brady went on to win that year's Super Bowl. When the dust settled, Brady would be able to play again-- but only after watching the first four games of the 2016 season from his couch. Sherman and Wedge provide an exclusive look into Brady's experience and the NFL's shocking strangle-hold on their players. -- adapted from publisher's info.
