Deflate gate. How do you like your balls? Tom Brady likes them soft.

[marylander1940]

Many NFL players, both current and former, say they're having a hard time believing Tom Brady's denial that he knew anything about the alleged use of deflated footballs during the team's AFC Championship win last Sunday over the Indianapolis Colts.

 

Brady told reporters Thursday that his preference for pressure was 12.5 pounds per square inch. Footballs, which are weighed before the game, must be inflated to no less than that.

 

"I have no knowledge of anything," Brady, a three-time Super Bowl winner, said. "I was as surprised as anybody when I heard Monday morning that this happened."

 

The Patriots said they are cooperating with the NFL's investigation.

Classic SNL.....I'm sure they have already written the skit for Brady and his deflated balls.

[+ beethoven]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet, but one of the New York tabloids, either the Post or the Daily News (both are the same to me) had a photo of Tom Brady on the back (sports) page, with this "quote" in huge type: MY BALLS ARE PERFECT!

Ya gotta love these tabloids!

[justaguy]

LOL beethoven, thanks for posting that one. A big smile this early in the morning is a sure sign that it's going to be a great day. (And I'd be more than willing to give Tom an objective assessment of his balls. You know, just to make sure that they are, indeed, perfect.)

Bill Belichick also told the world that he has “handled dozens of balls over the past week"!!!

I have the feeling (sadly for me at least) that only Giselle gets to do that.

Thanks Marylander, I think this is the complete skit. I love the part where the reporter says, "Tom I think you're pretending to know a lot less than you actually do" and he responds with "Whaaaaaaat, guys I'm just a quarterback"

I don't know if it is physically possible, but I think Tom Brady is getting both cuter and hotter all the time.

 

Given that he started out as one od the cutest and hottest guys in major league sports of any kind, that's syaing a lot.

 

Oh ... to be Giselle just for one night ...

The NFL should "probably" punish the team; but, they have soft flimsy balls.

Seems like everyone had a little trouble with the truth.... Brady included. Now what is to be done with the star quarterback?

Patriots altered footballs and Tom Brady knew it, NFL report says

An NFL investigation has concluded that members of the New England Patriots staff "more likely than not" purposefully deflated footballs that were used in the team's AFC Championship win over the Indianapolis Colts in January, according to a 243-page report released by the league Wednesday.

NFL Deflategate report

The report also states that Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was "generally aware" of the "inappropriate activities" that were being committed by sideline staff.

 

The probe concluded the Patriots ownership and Coach Bill Belichick or other members of the coaching staff were not involved in "any wrongdoing or knowledge of wrongdoing."

Jim McNally, the official locker room attendant for the Patriots, and John Jastremski, team equipment assistant, participated in a deliberate effort to release air from game balls after the balls were examined by a referee, the report states.

 

"Based on the evidence, it also is our view that it is more probable than not that Tom Brady (the quarterback for the Patriots) was at least generally aware of the inappropriate activities of McNally and Jastremski involving the release of air from Patriots game balls," the report says.

Attorney Ted Wells, whom the NFL hired to head up the league's investigation, concluded that he doesn't believe McNally and Jastremski would deflate footballs without Brady’s knowledge. In addition, the report includes text messages between McNally and Jastremski that suggest Brady was requesting footballs deflated below 12.5 pounds per square inch.

 

The NFL requires balls to be inflated between 12.5 and 13.5 pounds per square inch; each team is responsible for the balls it uses on offense.

 

 

 

The league's scientific investigation found that natural conditions found on game day could not alone explain the difference in air pressure found in the Patriots' balls after the game. It concludes that "human intervention" was the overwhelming reason behind the footballs being underinflated.

 

"To say we are disappointed in its findings, which do not include any incontrovertible or hard evidence of deliberate deflation of footballs at the AFC Championship Game, would be a gross understatement," Patriots owner Robert Kraft said in a statement. "While I respect the independent process of the investigation, the time, effort and resources expended to reach this conclusion are incomprehensible to me. Knowing that there is no real recourse available, fighting the league and extending this debate would prove to be futile. We understand and greatly respect the responsibility of being one of 32 in this league and, on that basis, we will accept the findings of the report and take the appropriate actions based on those findings as well as any discipline levied by the league."

 

The NFL has not announced any penalties related to the investigation's findings. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement that the league is looking into what steps it will take in regard to disciplinary action.

 

"As with other recent matters involving violations of competitive rules, Troy Vincent [NFL executive vice president of football operations] and his team will consider what steps to take in light of the report, both with respect to possible disciplinary action and to any changes in protocols that are necessary to avoid future incidents of this type," Goodell stated. "At the same time, we will continue our efforts vigorously to protect the integrity of the game and promote fair play at all times."
