New Patriots Patriots head coach Bill Belichick "never believed" Tom Brady's explanation regarding the "Deflategate" scandal, according to a Boston Herald reporter.
Herald reporter Ron Borges said Belichick's skepticism led to Patriots owner Robert Kraft accepting the league's punishment of a $1 million fine and the loss of draft picks in 2016 and 2017. Belichick and Kraft weren't certain that Brady was being truthful with them about his alleged role in scandal.
"Belichick never believed his story, from what I was told," Borges said, according to a ComcastSportsNNE report. "Because they all know. Why do you think all those retired quarterbacks, the Troy Aikmans of the world — Troy Aikman is about as nice a guy as I've ever met in football — nobody's backed (Brady). Nobody, not a single guy. Why do you think that is? Because they hate Brady? No. Because they're not stupid. They know nothing's done with those balls that the quarterback doesn't want done."
