There could be one line saying brady is guilty and you'd still defend him...its in your nature. Use common sense man...
I don't think you have a clue what I've been discussing and believe.

It's interesting that the Deflector-In-Chief, @Rock Strongo isn't here today after this highly self-incriminating interview by Brady.
Tells me all I need to know.
I still believe that a softer ball helps in cold or wet weather..just try it. Gives you a better grip.Wasn't this covered quite extensively before the SB when this all came up?
Refs do handle game balls a lot, but they aren't squeezing them. Lots of media outlets did tests with balls between 10psi and 15psi and asked people to tell the difference and it's something likely no one but the QB would notice. The force of their grip does change with that little difference, but no one else would likely know.
Now for the balls that other teams said was noticeable? If weather really does have an impact I'd guess if Brady was having them go down to 10-11 as it was AND it's cold and they shrank more it might be noticable by those that handle them every day?
These continued desperate attempts to deflect are entertaining, but futile.
Playing with a ball at 10-11 psi isn't going to dramatically change the game. It just isn't. It was likely more a mental thing. At some point he had a fantastic practice/game with a lighter ball and so in his mind it made a difference and he wanted to keep doing them that way.
This is what makes it so fucking stupid. He can clearly still throw just fine with a regulation ball and yet in his own compulsive arrogance decided to throw the rules out the window and have his equipment guys cheat for him. The unmitigated gall to be that selfish for something that likely has nothing more than a mental impact on the game at all is astounding. For that alone he deserves his suspension.

1. in cold/wet weather the ball naturally gets softer. It's the entire premise of their defense.I still believe that a softer ball helps in cold or wet weather..just try it. Gives you a better grip.
Oh believe me we all do right or wrong you are the biggest pats defender out there. Just a little more educated than rock...but in the end it's all the same ball of wax.I don't think you have a clue what I've been discussing and believe.
And right on Q here come the insults...like that helps your argument.And fans of 31 teams still believe Miami is a joke of a team.

Huh?
You may be right but we always let the air out a bit during cold weather otherwise you'd break a finger trying to catch that rock...it also made it easier to throw. During the rain the ball would get slick so the little extra grip didn't hurt either.1. in cold/wet weather the ball naturally gets softer. It's the entire premise of their defense.
2. Brady has played in cooler weather with regulation balls and played fine.
I didn't say there is ZERO help in dropping them down, but it is so minor as to only be explainable as a mental thing. I play better with lighter balls so therefor I do. It's his confidence with having them that was the difference far more than actual impact on how he grips or throws the ball.
Boy will you be in serious mental trouble when the Fins get better and you can't pull out that card to make you feel better....one day it will come probably sooner than you think.Nope, just stating the obvious.

I just want the smoking gun. I want an ex-teammate who knows something about this to speak out. I don't like the grey area here where we can all have to fill in the blanks. I don't see how this even helps the QB. He carved up that Seattle D just fine without any help from a "lighter" ball.
To be honest he probably only requested this from his ball boys during cold or wet games...fair weather such as the super bowl probably didn't matter to him. Hence the good results in those warm weather games without the pressure being dropped...makes perfect sense if you think about it.
The leagues not innocent either but it doesn't make what brady did any better...
Why is everyone botching the quote feature all of a sudden?
Is it because of the weather conditions?
and the league admits they don't have their officials write down the psi of the balls before,during and after the games
