Bill Belichick will meet with the media today at 9:30 a.m

Not good. Judging from his words, the NFL has prepared the punishment already.

I didn't read into that. If the NFL had an explanation for why the balls were deflated, he would've said that.

 

[Galeb]

Geez, is he throwing Tom under the bus? Can't be .,..

I doubt it. Tom is likely the one who handles the condition of the balls, and BB is simply acknowledging that.

 

[Double TE]

Maybe he and TB discussed it and TB said throw me under the bus and I'll defend myself?

 

[Wax Frog]

We're on to f*** the rumormongers?

 

[Uncle Rico]

Ive never touched a game ball, it's not soemthing I have any familiarity with. Was completely unaware of any of this until Monday morning.

Kind of weird for a guy who knows rules inside and out ...

Cant think of anything I would do differently (other than inflate more). It's unfortunate that this is a story coming off two great victories.

By the way, my typing sucks. Sorry.

 

[Fixit]

If you guys think that he and Tom haven't already talked about this, you're nuts.

 

[Haterproof]

BB throwing Tom way under the bus right now

He's not throwing Tom under a bus! However you can tell Bill knows the NFL doesn't have **** to tie him to this deflate BS!

 

[ausbacker]

Ok, am I reading this wrong, or is BB throwing Tom under the bus?!?

Wtf is going on

No, he's not throwing Tom under a bus at all. I have not inferred that from any of his comments.

 

[Big-T]

Tom carried you to this SB (again!)

More Brady will know more about this than BB. Which to be fair, is likely the truth.

This will have all been prepared, Brady will have known about it.

 

[Uncle Rico]

I doubt it. Tom is likely the one who handles the condition of the balls, and BB is simply acknowledging that.

yeah, he pretty much is openign the door for Brady to have to answer the questions.

hah - -BB back to form. not answering questions. I told you everything I know is the new "we're on to Cincinnati."

 

[patsinthesnow]

BB trolling time

 

[Uncle Rico]

SO basically they inflate the ball only to the minimum. No margin for weather or gronking.

 

[JackBauer]

The reactions in this thread are pretty funny. It's like people are watching two separate press conferences.

 

[Marqui]

From what I just heard he threw Tom under an 18 wheeler.

 

[Wax Frog]

Reporters stuck on stupid, who'da thunk?

 

[Darrone]

And now for the best part, the non-responses to media questions.

 

[DefenseRules]

The reactions in this thread are pretty funny. It's like people are watching two separate press conferences.

People hear what they want to hear.

 

[juny]

From tweets and this thread, I think BB did as best as we could hope for.

 

[MoreBellhorn]

Belichick looked pissed/disappointed. Ugh, **** this.

Kind of like a game thread. Instant reactions that don't account for what follows.
