Quote:And the dog ate his home work.  What exactly is Brady hiding?  Why the multiple contacts with McNally after the story broke?  And why did he lie about it?  Because there's no plausible reason for Tom to meet with McNally for 20 minutes in the QB room, or call him for 45 minutes that same day, unless it's to get the story straight.  And it's not plausible that Tom wouldn't remember what they talked about.  And why did the ball boys get fired if this is all a witch hunt by the NFL?  Etc, etc, etc.  Makes you wonder what they're really hiding.  They act like they're guilty of a much more than letting air out of footballs.

Looks like NFL still trying misrepresent what actually happened ... again.

 

What Brady actually said:

 

"[Jastremski] was the person that prepared the footballs and like I said, the initial report was that none of the Colts' balls were deflated, but the Patriots', all the Patriots' balls were," Brady testified. "So I was trying to figure out what happened. [It] was certainly my concern [to attempt] to figure out, you know, what could be – possibly could have happened to those balls."

 

Correct me if I'm wrong.  But at this point the reports of what the PSI levels were were completely false, so Brady is reacting to a report that has been proven to be completely false.  Here is the rest.

 

<p style="color:rgb(95,95,95);font-family:'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;font-size:15.0000009536743px;">"I don't remember exactly what we discussed," Brady said. "But like I said, there was two things that were happening. One was the allegations which we were facing and the second was getting ready for the Super Bowl, which both of those have never happened before [Jastremski wasn't in charge of the footballs at prior Super Bowls, and there was no scandal brewing]. So me talking to him about those things that were unprecedented, you know, he was the person that I would be communicating with."

<p style="color:rgb(95,95,95);font-family:'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;font-size:15.0000009536743px;">"I don't remember exactly what we talked about," Brady said. "But like I said, there were two things happening simultaneously and I really wanted John focused other than what he needed to get accomplished with the footballs, so I was trying to make sure that he was good and that, you know, he felt responsible for, you know, the attacks. And I was trying to make sure that he was composed so that he could do his job over the course of the next two weeks."

So in light of information that the Patriots were possibly tampering with footballs, the NFL still ends up with no proof.  They should have had smoking gun evidence if they knew beforehand what would happen (and actually cared).  They got garbage.  Think about that.  They are either extremely incompetent or have a completely different agenda.
