McNally replied: “Talked to him last night. He actually brought you up and said you must have a lot of stress trying to get them done…”


McNally, apparently not a fan of Brady’s (or at least his level of attention of air pressure) made several references to pumping the balls up to “watermleon” or “rugby” size, since Brady preferred softer ones for better control.


Prior to the next game, McNally wrote: “The only thing deflating sun..is his passing rating.”


There was then a discussion of McNally receiving free shoes and gear, and prior to the Jan. 10 game against the Ravens, the two of them were in the equipment room with Brady when McNally “received two footballs autographed by Brady and also had Brady autograph a game-worn Patriots jersey that McNally previously had obtained.”


McNally later referred to himself as “the deflator,” and chided Jastremski by saying “im not going to espn……..yet.”
