This is just another data point proving that I am not the same species of animal as Tom Brady.  We are similar, in the way that Bald Eagles and Turkeys are both birds, but he has evolved into something better then I am.  Honestly, it doesn't even bother me that I am this much an an inferior being.  
God, so true.  I'm a fucking cave troll compared to this guy.

There has to be at least interesting questions on this topic.

Did a reporter just ask him to apologize to the NFL and fans?

I'm trying to wrap my head around all the reporters treating this like it's all deadly serious.
 
I mean, the press conferences in the run up to the Iraq war weren't like this.

Simple question: have you ever asked someone to deflate a football before a game. I missed a few minutes but has this been asked yet?

This article on ESPN: http://m.espn.go.com/nfl/story?storyId=12211433 is reading interesting.

---------
The league found earlier this week that 11 of the New England Patriots' 12 game balls were significantly underinflated during the AFC Championship Game, ESPN's Chris Mortensen has reported. In that game, the Patriots' equipment staff supplied balls to referee Walt Anderson at the required two hours, 15 minutes before the game for inspection. As per NFL policy, Anderson marked each ball with his approval and ultimately returned them to the Patriots' ball boys.
---------

Notice it doesn't state that Anderson tested/weighed the balls prior to the game?

He should do the Dirk Diggler thing where he looks at the camera and say:
 
"We can do better.  WE CAN ALL DO BETTER.  And I'm just gonna keep rockin and rollin, man!"

$100 says every time Brady says "integrity of the game" or "fair play", Goodell is shooting a thumbs-up to one of his underlings.

This is Watergate level coverage. It's about some inflated balls in a game that was an absolute blow out. The mind reels.

Honest question. Do we know the the makeup of the reporter pool for this press conference? Meaning, are we getting more national news reporters looking for a story or is mostly Boston sports media?

Anybody who ever wonders why athletes act like they are God's gift to the world should be shown video of this press conference and how deadly serious the country seems to take football and be forced to reflect if maybe it's not our fault.
