"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)
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 report describes exchanges that indicate the two Patriots employees wanted sneakers and signed footballs in exchange for tampering with the balls for Brady.
Here's a few examples of the conversations:
The texts were between Jim McNally,Cheap Jerseys Online, the officials' locker room assistant, and John Jastremski, an equipment assistant for the Patriots.
WHAT BRADY SAID TO THEM:
The texts were published in the 243-page report issued Wednesday.
BRADY: "You good Jonny boy?"
McNally: "Tom sucks...im going to make that next ball a f---in balloon." (Oct. 17, 2014)
McNally: "Nice throw some kicks in and make it real special"
JASTREMSKI: "Still nervous; so far so good though"
AFTER THE INVESTIGATION:
Jastremski: "Maybe u will have some nice size 11s in ur locker"
McNally: "16 is nothing... wait till next Sunday" (Oct. 17, 2014)
One text message from McNally referring to himself as the "deflator" suggests that he might contact the media,Wholesale Jerseys.
INFLATION LEVELS:
McNally: "F--- tom....make sure the pump is attached to the needle.....f---in watermelons coming" (Oct. 23,Jerseys NFL Cheap, 2014)
The texts suggest Brady mentioned to Jastremski that McNally must have "a lot of stress" trying to get the footballs "done."
"Chill buddy im just f---in with you ....im not going to espn........yet,Cheap Jerseys Supply."
After the complaints about deflated footballs became public,Cheap Authentic Jerseys, 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. Brady then began texting Jastremski.
BRIBES:
McNally: "The only thing deflating sun..is his passing rating" (Oct. 23, 2014).
"FYI...Dave (Patriots head equipment manager Dave Schoenfeld) will be picking your brain later about it. He's not accusing me,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, or anyone...trying to get to bottom of it. He knows it's unrealistic you did it yourself..."
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: "Remember to put a couple sweet pig skins ready for tom to sign" (Jan. 7, 2015)
WERE THEY READY TO RAT?
McNally: "Better be surrounded by cash and newkicks....or its a rugby Sunday" (Oct. 24, 2014)
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, well above the 12.5-13.5 range the NFL requires.
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.
"You doing good?"
Jastremski: "U got it kid...big autograph day for you" |
