Ex-players react: Brady‘s cluelessness ‘unbelievable’

For more than a decade, Tom Brady has established himself as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time, one of the sport’s most popular and respected players. On Wednesday, Brady may have jeopardized his credibility for good.

Like Patriots coach Bill Belichick, Brady denied having anything to do with footballs being deflated in the AFC Championship Game and denied knowing it had occurred until the next day, but to the quarterback’s former peers, the NFL’s golden boy lost some of the luster he had earned in his 15-year career.

“I did not believe what Tom had to say,” former quarterback and ESPN analyst Mark Brunell said.

It’s interesting that the NYC sports press corps is in overdrive about this.

Brady’s equipment guy did it. This is wink and nod stuff. Unless they have it on video, they are not pinning it on anyone.

Fine the Pats the $25k, maybe $100k because it was the AFC championship. Get it over with.

You are right. But in NE, we really don’t give much of a $hit about what the rest of the league thinks.

I agree, the air seems to have come out of the balls on that side of the field. Fine them and move on. Fine them a lot.

I'm a Jet fan and I hate the Pats; but this is crap. Explain to me how an under inflated football allowed Lagarette Blount to run roughshod over the Colts D like a knife through butter. The Colts got beat straight up and the Pats are the best team in the AFC regardless if some footballs had 2 pounds less air in them or not.

This is a Media manufactured issue. I want Seattle to win; please stop making me sympathetic to the Pats...its making me puke in my mouth!!!

The balls that were used in the 2nd half were checked after the game and they hadn’t lost any air.

When they were checked and refilled with air at half time, if it was done outside, then the temperature was constant and air pressure would not decrease.

The balls never lost air, just air pressure.

Did you ever take a balloon outside on a cold day? Did it deflate on its own?

You can't pay for marketing this good...

Rush made a good observation yesterday: How is this worse than anything the democrats have inflicted on the nation the past 6 years?

Again, Go deflate your tires to 25-26 psi and tell me you can’t notice the difference, let along a guy who’s sold tires for a decade or more not being able to notice immediately a 20-30% psi deficiency. The claim is flat out laughable.

Exactly. The very idea that a pro with over a decade experience can’t immediately notice a 20-30% pressure differential is not remotely believable.

By kicking it or hitting it with a stick? Generally.

By visually noting the effects of it trying to hold up a quarter ton or more? Probably.

By trying to compress it with one hand? Probably not.

Oh, I agree. It had very little to do with the outcome.

Change the rules, or live by them.

Or become a joke by allowing rules to be violated at will, and thereby become meaningless.

Like pro wrestling.

“No knowledge of past in-game testing.
Asked if the NFL has tested the air pressure in footballs during a game in the past, and how important that is as a frame of reference in the ongoing investigation, Goodell said he didn’t know the answer and that attorney Ted Wells will look into that as part of the investigation. From our viewpoint, this answer warrants scrutiny based on the magnitude of the NFL’s investigation and the media firestorm it has created. How could Goodell not know? “
