dave mcbride Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Tom Brady: "I don't assess the football (with a laugh and smile). I just grip the ball and throw it. It's simple I view the whole thing very simplistically" (I'm paraphrasing). But wait Tom: you told us a while ago you are VERY deliberate with your ball preparation, you are super picky about how you like it, you know a precise legal PSI you prefer...and when you get the ball just how you want it pre-game....you put it in a bag and don't want anyone touching it! Doesn't that imply you are VERY PICKY about the ball and have a GREAT DEAL OF TOUCH? Tom: "I just grab it and throw it. I don't know." This guy is a HORRID LIAR. IT'S FUNNY. That may be the case, but it's also possible that no one is ever really checking the psi level in balls prior to games. That sounds more likely to me. That doesn't mean that he's not breaking rules; only that he may not be lying about this particular issue. I seriously doubt anyone is checking the PSI level in the 2 hours before a game starts.

DC Tom Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I cant believe the Pats are letting him get clobbered like this Did he walk out alone? Is there anyone else out there with him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkAF43 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Yeah just listened on my way home. In one breath he can say he's very particular about the balls, his helmet, his pads, everything, but then he doesn't notice a 2 pound difference in the weight of a ball he touches every time he's on the field? Come on Tommy, that's weak as weak can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave mcbride Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Mark Brunell compared a legal ball to the Patriot ball: "huge advantage, huge difference." If there is no significant advantage, why does he do it? Brunell is also a proven idiot, and I'd factor that in. I'd like to hear what some of smarter qbs say - Fitz and Manning, for instance.

Deranged Rhino Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Was Brady mic'd up for the game? When players are mic'd up they have a dedicated camera that follows them throughout the pre-game and game... Could be some footage there... WOW: "This isn't ISIS".

Come on Tommy, that's weak as weak can be. Two pound difference in PRESSURE, not weight. Big difference. The ball weighs only about a pound. "They also know how I like the balls, and I tell them 'great job' before the game." This double entendre is never getting old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to hear what some of smarter qbs say - Fitz and Manning, for instance. Ive barely been following coverage, but even I have seen a number of ex-players and FO guys say that deflated footballs are a big advantage. They're easier to throw (for most QBs), they are easier to catch, and much easier to hold onto and not fumble. John Harbaugh was on ESPN right before Brady's PC and he said under-inflated footballs are an advantage. This part of the issue isnt really a debate.

That said, I don't think Billy Joe invested his life savings in a pile of magic beans and end up bankrupt. (Perhaps he just blew it the old fashioned way.)
