TOM Brady has been defended for his alleged role in deflating footballs by NFL great Jason Kelce.

Brady ended up being suspended for the first four games of the 2016 season, with the quarterback returning and helping the Patriots to another Super Bowl triumph.
Jason Kelce reopened the “DeflateGate” saga during a conversation with his brother Travis Kelce on the “New Heights” podcast.
“I don’t even think Tom [Brady] should have gotten in trouble for deflating footballs,” Jason Kelce said.
“I’m a professional at deflating footballs, I’ll say it, I’ll say it, I’m a professional at deflating footballs.
‘Yeah, he outsmarted people, why the hell does it matter how much air is in that motherfucker?

“You guys just weren’t smart enough, so why am I being penalized because you’re idiots?
“It’s a rule, but it’s a stupid rule. If the rule doesn’t protect player health or if only one team can do it, I understand what you’re saying.
“But if both teams have the opportunity to do something and the other teams aren’t as smart as the other team, then that’s a stupid rule.
“You’re in trouble for stealing our signs.Making signs you hoped we wouldn’t look at?
“Get better signals, what the hell are you talking about?”
One thing seems certain: Brady is not responding to these comments.
The retired superstar has long left the episode behind and is currently preparing to work for Fox as their No. 1 analyst for the 2024 season.
