Directly from the report, page 128:
It goes on to say that Brady denied knowing the rules (he helped write them), that he didn't know McNally (he had McNally and Jastremski in the locker room to give them gifts and sign shit for them), and that he refused to cooperate with the investigation.
You're left to interpret that based on that information that Brady is lying about his involvement and trying to cover it up.

I have never said once that he didn't know what was going on. Let me say it again. He knew. He may have even told them to do it. There is no hard evidence for that, however. So, based on what I have seen happen in other cases of similar severity (not very severe at all), the guys that actually deflated the balls would be the ones that would face the harshest penalty. Brady would be lightly punished due to his "probably having knowledge" of the situation.
I personally have no skin in this game. Not my team. I'm all for punishment, but it should fit the crime. Based on past precedence, that shouldn't be anything nearly as harsh as a lot of people are saying. That's really all I'm saying.
