Joe Thomas Backs Tom Brady, Rips Roger Goodell
“I would equate what [Tom Brady] did to driving 66 [mph] in a 65 speed zone, and getting the death penalty,” Thomas said after Browns practice on Sunday, according to ESPN.
Thomas doesn’t think Brady is a cheater, and doesn’t understand why air pressure in footballs is such a big deal.
“I think he’s trying to do everything he can to gain a competitive advantage to help him do his job better, which is to throw the football,” Thomas said. “Why should we be punishing a guy that wants to do his job better?
“If you want [quarterbacks] to play with a brand new football that comes out of the box, then make that the rule,” he added. “If you’re going to allow them to break it in because you want more passing yards, then let them do whatever they want.
“Who cares if they throw a football that has no air pressure? What does it matter? Why don’t we let the quarterbacks do whatever they want to the football? I don’t understand why there’s any rules,” he continued. “We know [quarterbacks] already doctor [footballs] 99 percent, why do we care about the 1 percent in the air pressure?”
Thomas took aim at NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, and is glad Brady has brought his fight against the league to federal court.
“I’m glad that he’s fighting [it],” he said. “Because it’s good for the game. It’s an entertainment business. It’s turning into the WWE really. It’s like the Vince McMahon stuff. Basically Goodell is like Vince McMahon.”
