Nah. That argument by Goodell was just dumb. As far as I am concerned though, IF they have proof that he cheated in that way there is no punishment too severe.
That's the crux of the issue, it didn't matter if he did it or didn't, the NFL failed to follow their own CBA.
The NFL attempted to use the same strategies against Tom as they did against the Patriots as a whole. Not allowing the NFLPA to question Pash, attempting to apply steroid suspensions to equipment issues, and not even abiding by their own CBA with punishment guidelines doomed them in the end.

I certainly have not followed this like some have. I think there should be zero tolerance for cheating with severe punishment if the proof is there.

Berman grilled Nash about why some evidence used in the Wells report wasn’t shared with Brady’s team and asked Nash if there is “any direct evidence linking Mr. Brady to tampering?”
Berman then added, “Turns out Mr. Brady did better with higher inflated balls than underinflated balls,” according to Brown. “You might say he got no competitive advantage.”
Nash responded there was “considerable evidence Mr. Brady clearly knew about this,” including records of text messages and phone calls between the quarterback and one of two Patriots employees implicated in the scandal known as “Deflategate.” But he also said there was no “smoking gun” showing Brady had direct knowledge that the balls were deflated.
