Scrutiny is not just scrutiny. Ray Rice scrutiny and DeSean Jackson scrutiny are two different types of scrutiny.

Deflate gate had nothing to do with Brady Cussing out a Steeler and pointing his finger at him after scoring, or bitching to the refs for a flag on every play. Or jawing at defenders whenever they hit him too hard. Or coming out of the tunnel for the Super Bowl all by himself like he's God on earth.

That was about him deflating footballs. It had nothing to do with his celebrations, arrogant ego and condescending mannerisms. You know good and well that is not the comparison we are talking about.  

and again....for dancing? celebrating? Lol.

I 100% agree....great point.

There's no reason to believe that Cam won't be winning and dabbing in the future, which is good for everyone that isn't old and stuck in the past.
