Direct quote hall of fame...
BB Statement:
"I believe now 100% that I have personally and we as an organization have followed every rule to the letter."
"That process (ball surface prep) raises the PSI 1 pound"
"The officials were asked to inflate them (the balls) to 12.5 PSI. What exactly they did, I don't know"
"Footballs prepared in our locker room, they are delivered to the official's locker room, which is a controlled environment. Whatever we have here, is what we have there."
"(After the footballs taken outside and reached an equilibrium) were down 1.5 PSI"
"Once the officials have them (footballs), we don't touch them."
"Never (prepared) in a heated room or heated environment."
"This team was the best team in the regular season... best team in the postseason."
"At no time was there any intent whatsoever to try to compromise the integrity of the game or to gain an advantage, quite the opposite..."
"We try to do everything right, we err on the side of caution... anything that's close, we stay as far away from the line as we can."
"As far as I know, and everything that I can do, we did everything as right as we could do it."
"We welcome the league's investigation into this matter."
"This is the end of this subject for me for a long time."
Q&A:
"... if the balls are measured in the same atmospheric conditions, then it's a non-factor... (otherwise) there's no way they're the same."
"Anybody wants to do those experiment, should go ahead and do it themselves. Don't take my word for it."
"(Spygate) Look, guy's giving signals out in front of 80,000 people. Okay? So we filmed him... like there were a lot of other teams were doing at that time too."
"I'm as transparent as I can be on this one. Period."
