NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's mantra is about protecting the integrity of the game, and it will soon be known just how harshly the Patriots will be punished for the "deflategate" scandal.
A look into the precedent for integrity of the game violations found that New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton was banned for a year in 2012 as a result of the bountygate scandal, which placed targets and monetary rewards on opposing team's players.
In the meantime, the Patriots' star quarterback Tom Brady faced the public on Thursday night for the first time since the "deflategate" Wells Report was released on Wednesday. Brady flew by helicopter to Salem State University in Salem, Mass., for a previously scheduled one-on-one.

When asked for his reaction to the report, Brady said and he still hasn't been able to digest it all in the 30 hours since it's been released. He said that when he's ready to comment, he will let the public know.
The audience was very much in his corner, and he said the most recent Super Bowl win is not tainted because of the Wells Report. But many across the country are upset with the four-time Super Bowl winner over the allegations.
Brady was also asked whether he cared what people think of him.
"I think as a human you care what people think," he told the audience. "I certainly care what the people that are close to me think and what they care about. I think also as a public figure you learn that not everyone's gonna like you either. So good, bad, indifferent, there's a lot of people that don't like Tom Brady and I'm okay with that."
