Look, Brady knew his balls were soft the first time he squeezed them. And I betcha the center knew his balls were soft too the first time he squeezed them.
The problem here is that these people are all dishonest for not admitting that their balls were soft after they squeezed them and realized they were soft right from the start. I wonder how many others new his balls were soft?
The other thing is the kicker wants his balls to be as hard as possible, because it’s difficult to kick with soft balls especially in colder weather. So, the kicker probably didn’t kick with the same balls Brady had, his were harder.
Kicking Balls are specially made and are always in the possession of game officials. At no time do the teams or kickers/punters touch them prior to the snap. These balls are rotated in and out of the game so they are all used evenly. per Wilson.
