The little bit of analysis I have seen on this is that he did well in the press conference but admittedly, it will all be media spin and fan spin. I thought he came off relatively well.
This is from a Patriots website and so it is not biased but nonetheless, I agree somewhat and I'm not a Patriots fan. I think for the time-being, this issue will be on the back-burner some. I don't feel like he was out there making outlandish lies to defend his team.
I just turned on sports radio to try to get an idea on how people are perceiving this. Doesn’t mean anything but is interesting.
