Tom Brady is suspended for four games, in case you haven’t heard, but he still fulfilled his sponsored obligation to be interviewed by Westwood One’s Jim Gray on Thursday night before the Carolina Panthers-Denver Broncos season opener. It’s possibly the only time Brady will speak to the media during his Deflategate suspension. Here’s what the New England Patriots quarterback had to say in the radio interview.

On if he removed his NFL logo helmet decal: “No, I didn’t. I don’t even pay attention to what’s on my helmet. I just hope the helmet is functional. That’s all I’m trying for the helmet to be. I don’t pay attention to the stickers or anything on there. I certainly didn’t remove anything.”

On Julian Edelman’s comment that it’s like Brady is in jail: “Well, not quite jail. I feel like I don’t have the opportunity to do something I love to do. That’s the hard part about the situation we’re in. I’m going to try to be positive about that and spend some quality time with my family and pick my kids up from school and do something things I won’t have the opportunity to do in October and November and December and for the years to come. Hopefully I can keep playing football for a long time, and I don’t have to ever sit out another September for as long as I’m playing.”

On the banner featuring his image on the Gillette Stadium lighthouse: “I think it was a very cool gesture by Mr. Kraft and the team. I’ll be excited to be back out there in October when I’m out there for real. It was a really cool thing to do. I was certainly very humbled and flattered to see it. On social media, I’ve seen quite a bit of it. I haven’t seen it in person.”

Whew. Good thing he added that or else - BANISHED FOR LIFE!!!!!

I don't ever recall Brady speaking about union issues in the past:

Brady: Players need to stand together to improve the game

Another lockout is looming

 

[O.Z.O.]

Another lockout is looming

Good.

Another lockout is looming

I'll be rooting for the NFLPA, even if it means a lost season.

5 yrs out.

Something tells me the owners have a real solid read on the climate and are already taking appropriate measures. And they'll write off lost revenues for massive tax concessions.

The players?

Not so much.

Rooks gotta ride a Bentley dontcha know.
