DeflateGate Suspicions Could Impact Tom Bradys Entry Into Exclusive Country Club CBS Boston
BOSTON (CBS) — How far is too far?
We’re about to find out.
The iron fist of Roger Goodell has already cost Tom Brady a months-long headache, and the commissioner may end up costing Brady four games
in the upcoming NFL season. Considering the soon-to-be 38-year-old Brady only has a few seasons left in his career, that’s a hefty, hefty punishment.
But the decisions of Goodell clearly cause much more harm than most of us could have ever imagined, as we learned in The Boston Globe on Wednesday.
As it turns out, the negative attention thrown at Brady since January may end up costing the superstar and his supermodel wife their chance of being accepted into an exclusive Boston country club.
Oh, the humanity.
Will the light never shine on this dear martyr of society?

The Globe’s Mark Shanahan explored the plight of New England’s quarterback in his quest to gain access to The Country Club in Brookline. The article explains that it’s nearly impossible for anyoneto be admitted to the special club of the city’s elite, and that Brady’s status as a local sportshero and Gisele Bundchen’s status as a world-famous supermodel with hundreds of millions of dollars won’t help the couple sway the folks in charge of admissions.
So it’s hard enough to get into this club, but the uphill climb grew even steeper for Brady, thanks to Goodell, Ted Wells and DeflateGate.
“What may work against the couple, members say, is the media frenzy following Brady in the aftermath of Deflategate,” Shanahan wrote.
Everyone knows — once you lose the members, you’re as good as done.
“As part of the process,” Shanahan continued, “applicants also have to schmooze with the dozen or so members of the admissions committee at a cocktail reception held at the club. Applicants’ names are circulated among all the members, but the admissions committee finally decides.”
The odds will be stacked against Tom as he attempts to schmooze, as the members of the admissions committee will only have in their minds the possibility that some footballs might have had slightly less air than normal in them for one half of a football game in which Brady and the Patriots won by 38 points. For any sane human, that’s an enormous mental roadblock, one that figures to stonewall Brady’s chances of admission.
