DEFLATEGATE FALLOUT: FAR FROM OVER?

OK, this isn't exactly about business, but it's big enough for us to not ignore it. We launched a LinkedIn discussion on the penalties handed down by the NFL to Tom Brady and the Patriots over the alleged deflation of footballs in January's AFC Championship game.

“Unfortunately for Brady, this was not a court of law but a private business matter where now real jurisprudence applies. And I am guessing there was the assumption that, on appeal, the punishment will be cut in half as it often is."

LinkedIn group member Greg Aldrich

“The penalty may be reduced, but only if Brady is willing to make a deal. If he really digs in, this is going to court.”

LinkedIn group member Francis Mahoney

WHAT ABOUT THOSE OF US WHO USE MOBILE PHONES?

An online reader raised a question over a May 13 report that Massachusetts will receive $455,000 in connection with a $158 million state and federal settlement with Sprint and Verizon over alleged unauthorized cell phone charges.

“Why is the state getting it and not the mobile customers affected?”
