One of the major sticking points I have with the Wells report is the conclusion they reach about how Brady must have known who McNally was, and what his game day responsibilities were, despite Brady's supposed claims to the contrary. McNally is a seasonal employee who only works home games, so Brady would have theoretically had the chance to encounter McNally a maximum of 10-12 times per year (including pre/post-season), and those interactions would have most likely consisted of inadvertent run-ins, either in the tunnel onto the field or on the sideline. In both cases, I think it's "more probable than not" Brady had more important things on his mind than taking time to introduce himself or ask who the portly guy carrying the ball bags onto the field is.
Now Brady may have had a vague idea of McNally's position, particularly if he'd been working at Gillette for years, maybe through a brief introduction following a meaningless preseason game or something like that. But since Wells provides virtually no context for Brady's denial, either through the exact phrasing of the question or a direct quote from Brady himself, it's impossible for the reader to infer for themselves just how strong and complete Brady's denial of knowing McNally was. For example:
"Jim McNally? Oh, that's his name? Yeah, I've seen that guy on the sideline from time-to-time, may have ran into him once or twice before a game this year. Do I know his position? Think JJ once told me he works the ref's locker room or something… No idea what's in his job description beyond that. No offense to those guys, I'm sure they all do great work, but I've never spent half a fucking second wondering about what people outside our locker room are doing on Sundays," is a far less firm denial than, "Jim McNally? Never heard of or seen the guy in my life, so no, I can't tell you what the hell he does."
There are people in my office that I run into at least a few times a month (much more often than Brady would've ever encountered McNally), typically riding the elevator, or grabbing lunch at the cafeteria downstairs. I recognize their faces, know they've been around for a while, but if you ask me their names, or what their job responsibilities are? No fucking clue. So I find it entirely plausible that Brady could "know" McNally by simple recognition, yet still have no idea exactly who he is or what he does.
