It doesn't sound like Tom Brady will address Deflategate much this week even if he's asked about, but his father has no problem doing so.
Tom Brady Sr. - who has addressed the controversy before - had this to say to KRON4:
"I think any parent can understand that, they'd rather take the slings and arrows in the heart than have their kids take it and for what the league did to him and what Roger Goodell constantly lied about is beyond reprehensible as far as I'm concerned." …
"He went on a witch hunt and got in way over his head and had to lie his way out in numerous ways and the reality is that Tommy never got suspended for deflating footballs. He got suspended because the court said that he could, Roger Goodell could do anything he wanted to do to any player for any reason whatsoever. That's what happened. The NFL admitted they had no evidence on him."
Sounds like he's right in line with Pats fans who continue to be furious with the NFL's commissioner.
