Brady says he feels ‘terrible’ for Jastremski and McNally
Tom Brady’s suspension may have been lifted, but that doesn’t help Jim McNally and John Jastremski.
The two Patriots employees at the center of the Deflategate scandal remain suspended indefinitely by the team, reportedly at the NFL’s request.
During locker-room media availability Sunday, Brady was asked what he would like to see happen to the two team employees.
“I think that it’s been a very tough situation for everybody, and it’s put a lot of stress on everybody’s families, and I feel bad that anybody’s in the position that we’ve been put in,’’ the Patriots quarterback said.’’
Brady wouldn’t say if he’d been in contact with McNally or Jastremski — “those are very personal things’’ — maintaining that he had to focus on helping the team win.
“Hopefully we can just keep learning from life experiences,’’ Brady added. “I certainly feel terrible for them that they’re not able to be with us right now.’’
A federal judge vacated Brady’s four-game Deflategate suspension Thursday. The Patriots have not said whether or for how long the suspensions of Jastremski and McNally will stand.
