The only thing with the "I had no knowledge" bit is ... this guys knows the rule book inside and out. And.. when Brady said something after the Ravens game about the Ravens should study the rule book, I cringed a bit; now I know why.
I feel that if that happens or if Brady is singled out for punishment, other star QB's are going to go to bat for him. This isn't some run of the mill QB- this is one of the best QB's in NFL history getting singled out for something that is now sounding like an activity all QB's partake in to some extent- and I don't think the other QB's are liking this whole spectacle either.He didn't have to say that. It surprised me that he said it to be honest. Maybe it's nothing but I suspect the media might start to put Brady more in the spotlight after this.
Yea he didn't throwTB under the bus, but he did leave it to him to offer another point of view and additional insight into how game day balls are handled. With that, TB has plenty of wiggle room in his response.BB's in the clear, and he knows it. And the Chicken Littling about "throwing Brady under the bus" is freakin' epic.
Curious: Doesn't it specify a $25,00 fine somewhere? Is that in the rule book? or the Field Operations Guide?You realize that this stuff is not even in the NFL rule book by now don't you? It is in the NFL Field Operations guide. This is a book that goes into all sorts of details on a whole lot of issues, such as how often to water a natural grass field, when it should be mowed, how to inflate footballs, when/where to use cameras, game security, ticket refund policies, etc. I doubt that any player or coach knows it chapter and verse as they would the actual rule book.

Link? Details?Wow! BB straightforwardly proclaims his innocense and says TB will address more. Expecting TB to say the same. Also alluded to the fact that the balls were only slightly below NFL standards. They are also finally reporting on ESPN that BB had no knowledge of below weight balls and that the NFL is having trouble finding any evidence of wrongdoing.
