BRIBES:,Nike NFL Jerseys China
"You doing good?"
McNally: "Nice throw some kicks in and make it real special"
WHAT BRADY SAID TO THEM:
The texts were between Jim McNally, the officials' locker room assistant, and John Jastremski, an equipment assistant for the Patriots.
Jastremski: "Maybe u will have some nice size 11s in ur locker"
An investigator's report into "Deflategate" cited a series of texts between two New England Patriots employees as key evidence in the conclusion that the Patriots likely deflated footballs in the AFC title game — and that quarterback Tom Brady probably knew about it.
DISSING BRADY:
The texts suggest Brady mentioned to Jastremski that McNally must have "a lot of stress" trying to get the footballs "done."
McNally: "Better be surrounded by cash and newkicks....or its a rugby Sunday" (Oct. 24, 2014)
Jastremski: "Talked to him last night. He actually brought you up and said you must have a lot of stress trying to get them done..." (Oct. 17, 2014)
McNally: "The only thing deflating sun..is his passing rating" (Oct. 23, 2014).
McNally: "Remember to put a couple sweet pig skins ready for tom to sign" (Jan. 7, 2015)
AFTER THE INVESTIGATION:
The texts were published in the 243-page report issued Wednesday.
WERE THEY READY TO RAT?
McNally: "Tom sucks...im going to make that next ball a f---in balloon." (Oct. 17, 2014)
"jimmy needs some kicks....lets make a deal.....come on help the deflator" (May 9, 2014)
McNally: "Make sure you blow up the ball to look like a rugby ball so tom can get used to it before Sunday" (Oct. 21, 2014)
Jastremski: "U got it kid...big autograph day for you"
One text message from McNally referring to himself as the "deflator" suggests that he might contact the media.
INFLATION LEVELS:
The report describes exchanges that indicate the two Patriots employees wanted sneakers and signed footballs in exchange for tampering with the balls for Brady.
The two shared thoughts and jokes on how to overinflate the balls, and they had some choice words for Brady. They also said Brady was correct when he had complained that some of the footballs from the Oct. 16 game against the Jets were overinflated: Some had measured nearly 16 pounds per square inch,NFL Jerseys Outlet, well above the 12.5-13.5 range the NFL requires.
"Chill buddy im just f---in with you ....im not going to espn,Nike Air Max 95 Cheap........yet,Cheap Jerseys Online."
McNally: "F--- tom....make sure the pump is attached to the needle.....f---in watermelons coming" (Oct. 23, 2014)
Here's a few examples of the conversations:
The NFL report said while many of the exchanges were an attempt at humor, investigators believed the jokes were based on actual events. Attorneys for the team said that the exchanges referred to a friend, not Brady, but investigators rejected that explanation.
McNally: "16 is nothing... wait till next Sunday" (Oct. 17, 2014)
"FYI...Dave (Patriots head equipment manager Dave Schoenfeld) will be picking your brain later about it. He's not accusing me, or anyone...trying to get to bottom of it. He knows it's unrealistic you did it yourself..."
After the complaints about deflated footballs became public,Wholesale NFL Jerseys China, Brady called Jastremski for the first time in more than six months. They had multiple conversations for a total of nearly an hour, then met in the quarterback room — the first time Jastremski had ever been invited there in his 20-year career.

JASTREMSKI: "Still nervous; so far so good though"
BRADY: "You good Jonny boy,NFL Jerseys China?" |
