Tom Brady Had An Interesting Response When Asked If He Would Be Completely Exonerated For Deflategat

...

"I asked (Brady) at one point, 'so you're telling me, when this investigation is complete, which the (NFL) is now saying will not be until after the Super Bowl, you will be — I don't think I used the word exonerated — but, be they fan or foe, no one will be able to pin anything on Tom Brady,'" Costas told Dan Patrick. "and he said something to the affect of 'well, let's just wait and see how it comes out.' Which I thought was an intriguing answer."

Patrick asked if Costas followed up to see what Brady meant by the answer and Costas simply responded, "I think (the answer) kind of spoke for itself."

...

However, Brady's answer to Costas could be used to validate the growing belief of many that the Patriots' continued confidence that no rules were broken may be a sign that the team used a loophole or a way around the rules in order to use footballs that were underinflated.

One example is the theory that the footballs could have been inflated with hot air, something that would cause the pressure to drop without actually deflating the balls.

odd about his reply, actually.

I think no matter how he answers that, someone is going to find fault with it.

Say he replied that, yes, he would be completely exonerated. He would be accused of being a cocky bastard.

If he says that no, he won't be exonerated (even though he may be totally innocent), then he's guilty.

If he says, "No comment", then he's hiding something.
