A quarterback can only deflate a football so much. Eventually the ball becomes completely flat. No quarterback would choose to play with a completely flat ball. So why does the NFL have to tell Tom Brady how much (or little) air can be in the football when the laws of physics already do?

Just about every recent rules change in professional football has centered around making the game more comfortable for the offense. Fans want to see big gains and points. A ball that is easier to throw and easier to catch is a great avenue to this—and an avenue that in itself is not intrusive to the integrity of the game.

And there’s a very human element to this, and that is that the equipment managers largely toil in their jobs in anonymity,“ Yee continued. "And the next thing they know, the morning after the AFC championship game, there’s this giant spotlight on this matter involving their job. And Tom’s human. He’s very connected and very supportive of all the staff there. And for example, it was pointed out to all the lawyers, ‘Look, he’s just checking on their status, how they’re doing. These people are not used to being the subject of a national spotlight.’

So to give you one example, the report had spotlighted that Tom had autographed items for members of the equipment team. That’s a common practice. Unless you’re Rachel Nichols and you’ve been around sports your entire life and you know that’s a common practice, as opposed to being outside the sport of football and the culture of football, it’s not a distinction that people can easily grasp.
