That's the key word here. The Wells Report merely concluded it was possible that Brady knew. There was nothing definitive. Yet you support a punishment of this magnitude simply because Goodell had a feeling Brady knew something?

And they also agreed that the penalty for ball tampering is $25,000

As is the punishment. A $25,000 fine. How is this any different from the Panthers heating balls last year or the Chargers putting stick 'em on their towels back in 2012 so their receivers could better catch balls? In both instances the players involved got a slap on the wrist. And that was with undeniable proof.
Also...the Colts informed the NFL *before* the game that the Patriots were deflating balls. If the NFL was aware of a problem before the game, why didn't they warn the Patriots this was going on? Why did they let them play with tampered balls for an entire half?
