Tom Brady on if the Super Bowl is tainted: 'No, absolutely not'
On Thursday night Brady made his first public appearance since the release of Ted Wells' deflate-gate report that implicated him to some level, and the crowd at the previously scheduled speaking event at Salem State University went wild. They cheered for him like the Super Bowl just ended again.
Gray tried getting Brady to open up with different questions, and Brady rarely said anything that revealed much. Like he said in January when news of the scandal broke, he had loved ones around him who supported him, and part of being a public figure is dealing with adversity like this. The only time he said anything interesting about deflate-gate was when Gray asked if the controversy had distracted from the joy over the Super Bowl win.
Thursday night's engagement at Salem State was a typical offseason event that turned into a much more newsworthy appearance given the timing of the Wells report's release. Brady arrived for the event in a helicopter, and tickets were going for as much as $500 on Craigslist, the Boston Globe said. This wasn't the forum for serious questions and Brady wasn't going to provide meaningful answers. But just in case you were worried about Brady's status among Patriots fans, it might be even stronger than ever.
Another New England scandal, WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK
