If you're talking about not turning over his cell phone, that's not obstructing, nor does any of those other synonyms fitting here.

I am using the wrong term.

Looks like the wording being used is "failure to cooperate with an NFL investigation."

It's in the same spirit as obstruction, in that he's failing to provide evidence that would be helpful in the investigation, with the key difference being that's this is not a legal matter. Of course that is his right, but that doesn't mean the NFL cannot discipline him under the CBA if it's determined that he's been less than candid.

Brady is not going to jail. He's being suspended for 4 games, which will likely be appealed to 2. I think that's a small price to pay for a SB personally. Don't see why Pats fans are up in arms about it so much. They beat the system.
