Jastremski said somewhere, listen, we didn t tell him that he was going under the 12.5 psi. we just deflated them to the point where he liked the feel of them. if he comes out and says that, and they can back that up with another interview, another testimonial, then possibly they could skirt this thing. but the way it sounds like to me, every quarterback is very meticulous about how they like their balls to be rubbed down and oiled and felt. so i think he knew that they were slightly underinflated. bill does the league change the way they handle footballs before the game? oh absolutely. that s what is going to come out of it. bottom line they re going to have new procedures. everything from teams using the same balls or because a lot of referees made mistakes in this regard as well. so that s probably going to be the big upside. going to the next year, there is going to be a completely different procedure. so you think the league can get to a point where we re going to make sur ....
The locker room attendants they participated in a deliberate effort to release air from patriots game balls after the balls were tested by the game officials. we believe it is unlikely that an equipment assistant and a locker room attendant would deflate game balls without brady s knowledge and approval. so should brady and/or patriots be pun,ed for this? joining us live brian claypool defense attorney, and tim janzen a sports attorney. brianen brian, the language in the report is not definitive, uses phrases like more than often, more often than not, most likely more probably. critics of the report are questioning the credibility here. you re a lawyer how strong or conclusive is this report? hey, ana, by the way, thanks for having me back. i want to amend that report to say that it should read that it is conclusive not more probable than not. these text messages between ....

You look at the text messages and they re damning. there are other text messages, as well, that people really aren t talking about. some of those are the fact that brady was complaining and upset at halftime at the new york jets game that the balls were more inflated than he likes. when jastremski checked the balls after the game, they were close to 16. which is well more and higher than what the nfl s regulatory mandate is for the balls to be between 12.5 psi and 13.5 psi. so there s a lot in there. if you want to suspend him off of circumstantial evidence, then, yeah, you obviously could. and the nfl has done that twice. i think he s not hearing the lesson of watergate. i think the sooner he comes to terms with what went on and his role, the better his brand will be. let me show you and everybody else what he said thursday night. this is tom brady first comments ....
