Mark Brunell Doesn't Believe Tom Brady
Appearing on ESPN’s NFL Live in the aftermath of Brady’s press conference, former NFL quarterback Mark Brunell made his opinions clear.
“I did not believe what Tom had to say,” Brunell said. “Those balls were deflated. Somebody had to do it. And I don’t believe there’s an equipment manager in the NFL that would on his own initiative deflate a ball without his starting quarterback’s approval. I just didn’t believe what Tom Brady had to say.”
Brunell explained that starting quarterbacks (and he started 151 games in the NFL) routinely check the balls to ensure that the balls have the right feel, from an inflation standpoint.
“That football is our livelihood,” Brunell said. “If you don’t feel good about throwing that ball, your success can suffer from that.”
Appearing in the same segment, former NFL running back Jerome Bettis and former NFL safety Brian Dawkins also expressed skepticism about Brady’s explanation.
