Brady: Feelings Were Hurt by Deflategate Scrutiny
Tom Brady is putting Deflategate on hold and focusing on the Seahawks. The rest of us, not so much.
Brady faced more questions about deflated footballs during an ESPN interview Sunday and on WEEI Monday morning.
“We’ll deal with it after this game,’’ Brady said on ESPN, when asked if and when he would be meeting with the NFL to discuss Defaltegate.
“Look, I don’t want to keep getting into this,’’ Brady said on Dennis and Callahan, when asked if he told an equipment manager to alter the footballs. “No, I didn’t and I haven’t and I never will. That’s obviously how I feel and the kind of person that I am.’’
“I personalized a lot of things and thought this was all about me, and my feelings got hurt. Then I moved past it, because it’s not serving me,’’ Brady said on WEEI. “What’s serving me is try to prepare for the game ahead. I’ll deal with whatever happens later.’’
Brady can dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge Deflategate all he wants. At Super Bowl media day Tuesday, the TV cameras will be in his face like a double A-gap blitz, and things might get even more uncomfortable than they were when Thursday’s press conference at Gillette Stadium turned into a media circus.
