Brady presser: What does he say?

It was an example. The footballs were found at 11 PSI.

Mortenson said that. Never been confirmed by anyone. May well be right, of course, but it's not like the league has said it.

He won't be suspended, but let's say he hypothetically will be, and Jimmy G helps us win the SB.

QB controversy?

New England Pride said:

Agreed but what will the potential punishment be?

Are we saying under inflated to the legal limit or below that. If Brady likes them at 12.5 then there really is no issue.

The punishment will be identical to that that Rogers received.

Not sure why people keep bringing this up. The balls were deflated post inspection.

New England Pride said:

Tampering with balls post inspection is much different. Not that we know for sure that that happened. Need more facts here.

I agree, which is why the punishment should *actually* match what the Panthers got.

So... a memo, I guess.

Who has said 11 PSI? It would be helpful if the NFL had actual numbers.

11 isn't technically 2 pounds under the minimum, FWIW. Isn't the min 12.5?

What I wish he would say: You can lick my balls.

What he'll actually say: I don't know anything about the balls.

The sensationalism of the media is outrageous here. The balls were tested to be 11.5 which is 1 psi below the minimum required weight. All these jack holes keep saying the ball was 2 LBs low which is a lie. 2lbs below the maximum and 1 pound below the minimum but no one is reporting it that way. It will be interesting in about 45 minutes.

Where are you getting 11.5? Source?

What if it's a confessional? *sarcasm*

Please let it be 11.5.

I've been saying all along that at 11, the science can easily get us there without any cheating having taken place. 11.5 and its practically a home run.

Where are you getting these numbers from?

I think he should eloquently speak out the lyrics to "Straight Outta Compton", drop the mic, throw up a peace sign, and exit stage left. Like a boss.

Pretty sure it was Mort who said they were filled to 13 PSI and were 2 PSI light at 11. But Bill just said in his presser they fill them to 12.5. Mort is always wrong, so f that guy.

If someone could transcribe what Brady says, that would be great.
No access for me.

The thing that nobody seems to be saying, and I guarantee the NFL doesn't do, is fill out the weight and pressure of the balls on a standard sheet. I am in the quality control business and get audited too many times to count. The first rule is "if it isn't written down then it wasn't done." Perhaps if this was an ambush then it was done here, but the NFL better have forms of all pregame inspections for the last 5 years if that is the case. I can assure you they do not.

**** is about to explode lol

what a circus!

That's referring to this from BB's presser today:


The question is did he just pick the "12.3" out of a hat, or did someone tell him what the too-low measurements were and that's what it was? We won't know until the NFL releases the results of this ridiculosity.

Probably because it shows how a really small and very realistic change would still make it illegal.
