Presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) openly pandered to a Massachusetts audience last weekend by announcing his support for New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady after the so-called Deflategate scandal. Cruz made the bold proclamation to set up a joke about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Democratic front-runner.
"Let me start by saying: Tom Brady was framed," Cruz declared. "Now I'm not willing to pander on much, but on that, Tom Brady was framed!"

He was set up.
An interesting take on Carrol’s decision here:

Basically, Belechek is living rent free in his head.
Ted is getting killed on that thread at yahoo... I did my part to support him, its all negative.
I am fully aware of Yahoo’s liberal bias. But they do give me good access to instantaneous stock market news, and various forms of stock’s data.
“the beast (Marshon Lynch) who was running through Patriot defense all day long like hot knife through butter.”
LOL! One run of 15 yards and bunch of 0 to 5 yard gains!
In the second half they had him stopped cold.

New headline:
Hilary Clinton caught handling Tom Brady's balls.
Of course Ted Cruz will get killed on Yahoo. All republicans with an ounce of conservatism always suffer the same treatment on Yahoo, NY Times, LA Times, Salon (really bad), WAPO, and other MSM outlets.
Yes, it was foolish of him to go there, unless he was joking about it. Maybe he felt it was too insignificant a thing for it to even matter what he said about it.
Very funny, but you will never see that headline on Yahoo.
Hellloooooooo. He was joking.
Since when did the federal government have any say over a sports league.
WTF?!! Is the NFL now a federal agency?
Tell these politcians to stay the #@!& out of sports, because everything that the government get’s involved with turns to shit.
The beast had just made a 4 yard dash from 5 yard line to 1 yard line on the previous play.
Sports fans are nuts about stuff like that. Too bad they don’t take as much interest in the people and institutions that make the laws that govern their lives.
“Ted Cruz lost some credibility with me with this pronouncement.”
If you didn’t understand the joke, then you’re too stupid to vote.
He just lost the Steeler fan vote.
I don’t agree with him on this, but neither do I care.
Football fans (myself included) are deadly serious about football. We lose all sense of humor when it comes to football and our home teams.
Hard to believe so many on here haven't read enough to get that.
And he just lost Seahawks fan’s votes. My sincere advice to the senator: do NOT joke about individual football teams, coaches, quarterbacks. For pandering to one team, you will displease 2 dozen other team’s fans.
