Troy Aikman: 'I will go to my grave saying Tom Brady knew that the balls were deflated" | THE HERD

Colin's hair color is the real story here.

[divefraggle]

Colin's hair reminds me of when Creed tried to look young on The Office.

[Ryan-jxvh]

I will go to my grave saying just for men doesn’t work for Colin. ✌️

[TheObvious]

Clearly this "scandal" had a huge impact on that AFC Championship, which the Patriots won by 38 points while outplaying the Colts in every facet of the game

[kingkang]

Colin reminds me of an adult-sized version of 'Chucky'

[SomeLittleShoe]

I remember Brett Farve's comments that day too. He said he knew immediately when he picked up a ball if it was not exactly right.

[andrewvillanueva]

any quarterback knows how a ball feels and hope much they weighed. they are professional.

[carisik]

Just came up in my recommended out of the blue. Regardless of whether TB knew or not the real issue then and still possibly in 2021 is why the NFL doesn't take complete control of the balls instead of leaving them up to the players and teams discretion. The umpires should have a set of official balls and everybody has to play with this one set of balls during the game with NFL official ball persons looking after the balls when not in use during the game.

Watching this 3+ years later and damn Colin got old

Colin colored his hair to match Aikman

The ball goes through the linesmen and referee's hands on every play. If they were game changing over or under weight, they would feel it too. If that's the case, it falls on them to get those balls out of game action.

[mikejohnson]

I will go to the grave knowing Tom Brady knows he fumbled!

[kraigthorne]

The refs touched EVERY ball that was used in EVERY NFL game.  If the refs think the ball is inflated correctly then the ball is inflated correctly.  If they think a ball is not inflated correctly then they take the ball out of the game.

[austinfriend]

The score was 45-7, i promise the amount of air in the ball wouldnt have mattered

[beaz]

The only problem I had with this whole issue was Brady destroying his cell phone. Had he not done that, I really wouldn't think anything of this, at all. However, by destroying his cellphone, he implied either one of two things: either he knew exactly what caused said incident (which, again, I don't think made a difference in the outcome and therefore shouldn't have led to any serious punishment) OR there was something else on his cellphone which he didn't want the NFL and/or media to know about.

[ickeausberlin]

"I still haven`t seen where it has been determined that air was not let out of the balls." Great. Let's accuse someone and then he needs to prove he is innocent. Thank goodness Mr. Aikman is not a judge.

[brothatsdj]

Am I the only one that finds this hilarious 😂

[mwduck]

I'm glad Troy brought his bag of balls to the stadium on game day.

[wrath]

how come nobody brings up the fact that Brady dominated the second half of that AFC game with brand new regulation footballs that weren't broken in? because all the broken in and deflated footballs were taken way at halftime.

We will all go to the grave knowing TB12 has 7 rings
