Did Brady just admit to deflating the balls?

[cdumler7]

I read a few articles on this and what I found really made me think that this has been going on for a while in the NFL and that Brady isn't the only one who does it. Brad Johnson, the QB for the bucs said he had paid someone money to do it for the Super Bowl he was in. Matt Leinart said that he only knew of one QB who didn't do it, and that was Kurt Warner and it was because Kurt wore gloves. To be completely honest, I wouldn't be surprised if Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers did the same thing.

I don't disagree that all quarterbacks try to doctor up the ball but the issue here is that those balls are still found to be within regulation during the game. The Patriots after having the balls checked illegally changed the balls (at least that is what it looks like). All of these quarterbacks are within their legal rights to doctor up the ball as much as they want as long as they still meet the regulations established by the NFL. So Leinart saying every quarterback does this is true in the sense they work on the balls to get them ready. From the sounds of it though they don't change the ball in game. I mean when the Ravens actually contacted the Colts to inform them that the Patriots were illegally messing with the balls and to watch for it that should show this isn't just a common thing that every team is doing.

Buhahaha!

Honesty and integrity, HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH

What did any of expect him to say.........how he cheats?

Press conferences are dumb............

"I handle all balls the same way for each & every game."

TB giving presser right now ...

And lying his ass off. Brady is seriously trying to tell us that he can't tell the difference between a properly inflated ball and one that is 2lbs less? Maybe it has just been so long since he had to actually throw a regulation ball, he doesn't remember what it feels like?

"I didnt alter any balls in any way."

 

[craigk217]

"I felt like we won the game fair & square."

There's an irony in their sponsor, 'Gillette Flexball'.

 

[whywork2]

are we talking about pocket pool or billiards?

The only way I will respect Brady is if he admits to all the games they have cheated in. I don't need a list...but I need recognition that there were others, instead of addressing it like this was a one-time occurrence.

I don't think I need to worry about giving him any respect...

Yep...my complete lack of respect is firmly intact.

"I didnt alter any balls in any way."

And there it is. No suspension for the superbowl. Even though his story seems very implausible

 

[craigk217]

"This is a very serious topic and the integrity of the sport is important."

 

[TheRobotDevil]

this is fucking hysterical

 

[craigk217]

"When I felt the footballs, they were perfect."

"It's disappointing that a thing like this happens."

"I'd like to know what happened, like everyone else."

 

[wood20ks]

Basically playing it smart ... PC answers and stating he doesn't know anything about it and found out Monday morning like everyone else.

Dunno why somebody doesn't point blank ask him if he noticed any difference. Oh wait ... somebody might have now ....

that's a tough question for him to answer....

He`s played with footballs his entire life,he should know what a football feels like.

The guy who intercepted him knew right away.

"I have not spoken to the league about he situation."

"I don't know what you guys want me to say"


Umm...how about something that sounds like a shred of truth? That might be a good place to start.

 

[whywork2]

Word is Giselle thinks his balls are perfect. Who are we to argue?

 

[craigk217]

There it is ... they asked him if he noticed a difference. He's kinda dancing around it now.
