"This isn't ISIS" -- Tom Brady on 'deflategate'

Not seen a quote quite as ill-judged as this one in a long time.

Anyone have a link to the video of the press conference? Pats fans are predictably fawning over Brady's statements as though he's a poor, innocent victim and the media are the bad guys. I'd like to see for myself.

We have documentation that this has happened with them before (first Colts game this year) and that the NFL was aware of this issue before the AFCCG. We have motive. We have a lying POS in front of the cameras playing for a team that cheats at every turn.

Yummy. :snack:

Brady then slapped the podium and screamed like a little girl at the refs. How anyone has respect for him is beyond me.

Tom Brady is a big fat liar. That is all.

That's exactly what a guilty person does when they get caught - they try to minimize the issue and turn it around on the accuser. He should be outraged and wanting to get to the bottom this, not acting all mystified that people are making such a big deal out of it. You'd think a guy with a history of cheating (both professionally and personally) would be a better liar.

Exactly, he allowed his own rationalizations to escape his mouth. "It's not as bad as ISIS, so why was it wrong?" -- Tom Brady.

Ow, I think I got a whiplash watching the speed at which Brady's reputation nosedived.

The football equivalent of Lyndsay Lohan. Just shut him up for crying out loud!

Like Sherman said Wednesday, Brady's rep is quite different between his Captain Tom public ahh shucks persona, and the players in the league that know what he's really like............which is a whiny punk that likes to talk crap and throws tantrums.

Personally I never had a problem with Brady until yesterday. But ain't no way in hell he didn't know the difference between the balls, which tells me he's lying about the whole thing.

Like with the other sports violations like steroids, we fans are usually willing to forgive players if they own up to their mistakes, and act contrite.........but we can't stand the continued lying, because it's insulting.
