Ted Cruz: 'Tom Brady was framed'
Yahoo Finance ^ | 06/02/2015 | Colin Campbell

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!"

Any quarterback who handles the ball on every play, knows instantly if the ball is deflated, even if so slightly. A deflated ball is softer, making it much easier to catch and hang on to without a fumble. New England's fumble stats dropped dis-proportionately after they began deflating the balls below legal pressures. It is statistically in "impossible" range. Ted Cruz lost some credibility with me with this pronouncement. Either he does not know football or he is pandering blatantly.

I am also furious over coach Pete Carroline's play calling of throwing the ball on 1 yard line, and bypassing the beast (Marshon Lynch) who was running through Patriot defense all day long like hot knife through butter. It was the all time stupid play calling I have witnessed since Superbowl I. What is even worse is that Carrol refused to accept blame for his asinine call.

Carrol refused to accept blame —

He did say something, that sounded like it was his fault.

Suprised me.

Don’t remember details.

Brain is overpowered with real news, like Catlin Kardashian.

“A deflated ball is softer, making it much easier to catch and hang on to without a fumble. “

After the refs pumped up the balls to the max, Brady’s statistics went up through the roof!

I do not vet my candidates based on their sports opinions.

” Ted Cruz lost some credibility with me with this pronouncement. Either he does not know football or he is pandering blatantly. “

He was just having a little fun with the topic. Open a cold one.

“”And I will say this: I have it on good authority that Hillary Clinton did it. “

Stats are counted over the whole season, not one or 2 games.

I’m a Bills fan and I hate the Pats. Unless they can prove that Brady directed the equipment people to deflate the balls Brady is innocent. And has been stated Brady did much better with regulation inflation.

I’m not questioning your attribute of the article, I’m questioning Yahoo’s editorial judgment.

The ball handler would not dare do anything illegal without a wink and a nod and encouragement from either the coach or the quarterback.
