Also LOL at thinking Brady isn't pissed off about people questioning his integrity over this bullshit. Obviously he isn't going to let that feeling transpire in his press conference, anyone who knows this team wouldn't expect anything different. Also, if he came out surly and dry, the fat fuck would be all over that too. Anyway, I guess we'll have to wait until America's Game, the Story of the 2014 Patriots to know the truth about the team's feelings about this.
I don't understany why people are saying Tom Brady is "obviously lying".. About what? Not deflating the balls?

Just steer clear from Simmons in general unless he's talking about the NBA. He doesn't know jack shit about football.
and one, I think ABC, had the big honkin' BREAKING NEWS banner below the tease.ifmanis5 said:
Ed, you can say it 1000 times and I will think you are wrong each time.
Brady's denial makes the NFL prove this, almost certainly in absence of any smoking gun evidence.
More to the point, Brady seemed earnest and credible to me.
Yeah, he could have said that he instructed the ball guy to get them to a level he likes, but that he had no idea it was below the legal level or some such thing. But that would have set of a shit storm too.
His denial puts the onus on the NFL and they probably have zippo.
And despite your worries, the overwhelming amount of the people in ESPN's poll believe Tom and The Hated Bill.
Yep, talking heads will say Tom should have owned up to it but so what? They have no evidence, no beef, no nothing.

@TerryBlountESPN, Seattle nickel CB Jeremy Lane says of Rob Gronkowski: "I actually don't think he's that good."
The Patriots have already been decried guilty of tampering with the footballs, despite any such actual league findings. Thus, since Belichick denied it, Brady must have known. Brady denied, ergo he's lying.Bosox4416 said:

Not exactly the thread for it, but what the hell we're all here....Lane (a nickel CB mind you) goes on to expound that Gronk doesn't like getting physical and if he (Lane, a nickel CB mind you) presses Gronk at the line, Gronk will do no Gronking. I'd take that wager, Jeremy.
One thing any lawyer or reasonable damage control person would not let you do is have a press conference during an investigation to refute facts they are investigating, especially if the truth might prove you're lying. So they're telling the truth, they didn't tamper.
I don't know what the NFL is doing, but our guys are moving on.

Say what? I'm not saying Brady lied, just that he would get railed for denying it. I'd like to see more polls, I would be quite surprised if 83% believe that. I'm sure we'll see more soon.TheoShmeo said:
I will say the one thing that would raise my eyebrows were his 12.5 PSI comments. I could see those being interpreted as scripted.
I don't think the NFL would do either even if the Patriots were caught killing witnesses for Aaron Hernandez trial on camera.

What's your take on reports that 11 of 12 Patriots footballs were underinflated during New England's 45-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts?
50%
Patriots' success is tainted
50%
Not a big deal

I'm not sure why a poll that pre-dates the Brady/Belichick poll I cited--particularly one that shows a perfectly even split on the matter--is evidence in your favor?
Dude, no. I am just saying what I think people would believe. What am I not communicating? I don't think he should have lied if he didn't do anything. I thought he came off well outside of that 12.5 comment, but we all have biases, and that's the point.TheoShmeo said:
Again, this is me assuming that poll is whacked. Maybe I'm wrong about the perception.

Bottom line of that article and what Jay Glazer (who is about as plugged in as anyone) confirm this shit for me. Harbaugh definitely tipped Pagano off about this
Attention SOSH Ballghazi has nearly reached critical smug.
The only thing that can make this issue more smug, is to have Oprah interview a teary eyed Lance Armstrong, who beseeches BB to just own up, if not for America, than for love of the game.

Harbaugh has been quoted several times in the past few days saying that they didn't notice anything wrong with the balls.tbb345 said:
An actual quote, not an off the record reply from someone near to the team.
