Patriots’ Brady, Belichick Deny Having Knowledge Of Underinflated Balls
WFAN Host Mike Francesa Not Buying Any Of It: ‘It’s A Disaster For The NFL’ January 22, 2015 5:38 PM
FOXBORO, Mass. (CBSNewYork/AP) – The two men most responsible for delivering wins for the New England Patriots both said Thursday they have no explanation for how footballs used to reach the Super Bowl were underinflated by 2 pounds per square inch.
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said he has not been contacted by the NFL, even as league officials investigate whether the team cheated against the Indianapolis Colts.
“I don’t know what happened,” Brady said, answering questions from reporters hours after Patriots coach Bill Belichick said he almost never thinks about football pressure and doesn’t know what happened, either.
Unlike Belichick, who briefly answered questions after a long opening remark by repeatedly saying “I’ve told you everything I know” and “I don’t have an explanation,” Brady answered many questions and said he doesn’t think about football conditions during games.
“I get the snap, I drop back, I throw the ball,” Brady said. “I don’t sit there and try to squeeze it and determine that.”
Forgive an easy joke but anybody involved with professional football has underinflated balls.
Liar and cheater
