On the other hand, what Brady is implicated in has to do with what goes on between the lines on the field - it goes directly to the integrity of the game itself.

Wow, no kidding apples to oranges. Ben is accused of raping a woman, Brady is being accused of knowing balls were deflated. KNOWING, not actually deflating the balls, just knowing they were.
Seems pretty common knowledge Pete Rose was betting on baseball, so should everyone who knew he was doing so be suspended?
For the record, what Ben Roethlisburger did, it DID effect the outcome of many games...all the ones he was suspended for.
