I think its unlikely but I could buy into the equipment guy knowing Brady said he likes a bit of an under inflated ball and just automatically did it for him.

Perhaps although Brady saying he didn't know the difference of the ball between the first and 2nd half sounds like a load of bullshit.

one thing that i just heard...

the report is 11 of 12 balls under inflated and that was "all" the balls.

yet tom just said they prepped24balls for the game due to the weather....


he says prepping the balls he specifies 12.5 psi for the balls for the game and that when he finished his go thru of the 24 game balls they were all "perfect"(prior to the game).

I was just listening to a sports writer that tested both and he said they couldn't tell. He said he handles footballs often but not every day like a QB. Then went on to say the QB would know better even though he couldn't tell. The whole thing is retarded.

The problem is if he came out and said there was a miscommunication with the equipment manager, then the NFL gives them a fine and everyone moves on. The 'I don't know' strategy just keeps the story around.

I thought they had a bunch of QB's on ESPN or some shit and they got it wrong as to which was inflated more?
I heard the opposite. I think it was Mark Brunell on ESPN and he identified specifically which ball was underinflated/overinflated. I think most QB's do know.

I just heard someone not 30 minutes ago say neither him nor anyone with him could tell.

I still think they set a precedent with sean peyton that says BB has to go if any wrong doing is found. Don't get me wrong, it's a retarded precedent, but they knew full well what the implications were when they did that.
stop thinking for the sake of this thread. holy shit hoss

if you caught the Brady conference you'd have noticed he did a much worse job at saying "balls" versus "footballs" than BB.

BB nailed it, Brady gave a lot of "balls" sound clips

It's not going to be a $25,000 fine. Any joke you make will not change this. The league was aware of these allegations prior to this most recent occurrence.
