Tom Brady defends his balls

NBC News broke into the middle of Days of Our Lives (I missed seeing Chad getting beat up!) with breaking news.

A death? Mass shooting? Plane crash?

Nope.

Deflate-Gate.

I’ve been vaguely aware of this story but didn’t give it much thought until I saw hunky New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady standing there wearing an adorable cap answering questions from a battery of reporters.

After answering the same question 12 ways he put some perspective on the situation: “This isn’t ISIS. You know, no one’s dying.”

For the record, Brady denied knowing the team’s footballs were under-inflated during Sunday’s Sunday’s AFC Championship Game.

“I didn’t alter the ball in any way,” Brady said. “I have a process that I go through before every game where I pick the balls that I want to use for the game. … When I pick those footballs out, at that point they’re perfect. I don’t want anyone touching the balls after that, I don’t want anyone rubbing them, putting in air in, taking any air out.”

I believe him!
