Tom Brady Mocks DeflateGate in This Foot Locker Ad
Tom Brady did not find anything about DeflateGate remotely funny.
Not even when he talked at length about his balls.
But now that Brady has served his four-game suspension and now that he"s playing at an MVP-like level and now that his New England Patriots are sitting on top the AFC… well…
… he can laugh a little over it.
Or get really angry over it as a form of parody, to be more specific, when it comes to a new Foot Locker commercial.
In a new ad that celebrates Foot Locker"s annual "Week of Greatness," Brady yells at a couple of shoppers, subtly mocking the scandal that played out for way too long and which somehow managed to cost Brady a quarter of a season.
As a pair of young men sit down at a diner and wonder how the sale can "keep getting better after all these years," Brady takes umbrage over their viewpoint.
"That"s an unfortunate mindset you"ve got there," Mr. Gisele says "Just because something is great year after year, doesn"t mean anything is going on. Why can"t some things just be great?"
"It starts with questions, then questions turn into assumptions, and then assumptions turn into vacations.
"So why would you punish the Week of Greatness for something that never even happened?"
It looks like someone may need to work on his anger issues. But not his acting.
Brady is outstanding!

Tom Brady -- Wusses Out On Josh Brown Suspension ... Won"t Compare to Deflategate
Tom Brady was asked straight-up if he thought it was unfair that the NFL only suspended Josh Brown for 1 game for domestic violence … when he was suspended FOUR for Deflategate. His answer … flaccid. “I think it is the league’s…

Tom Brady on Deflategate Suspension: I Give Up!
If you’re one of those football fans who was anticipating a Brady v. Goodell Supreme Court match-up more than any game on your team’s schedule this season, we’re afraid we have some bad news:
According to a statement issued moments ago, Patriots QB Tom Brady will no longer appeal his 4-game suspension stemming from the 2014 Deflategate scandal.
Brady’s suspension was overturned just prior to the 2015 season, which allowed the iconic quarterback to participate in all 16 regular season games and lead his team to the playoffs for the seventh straight year.
In April, however, the suspension was reinstated by a three-judge panel from the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York.
Following the decision, the only avenue left to Brady would’ve been another appeal which would have necessitated the Supreme Court agreeing to hear his case.
Perhaps sensing what a longshot situation he was in, Brady decided to opt out of that particular hail Mary.
“I have made the difficult decision to no longer proceed with the legal process,” he said in a statement issued moments ago.
Thus, as of today, Brady will officially be forced to sit for 2016 Pats games against the Cardinals, Dolphins, Texans and Bills.
We’re sure fans of those teams are breathing a sigh of relief.
The NFL alleges that Brady not only instructed his team’s equipment staff to deflate game balls in direct violation of league rules, but also hindered an investigation into the matter by destroying his cell phone.
In their decision, the judges in New York stated the opinion that Goodell and the league had not denied Brady “fundamental fairness” when they chose to suspend him.
At 38 years old, it’s unclear how many seasons Brady has left in him, and the news that he’ll be forced to sit for a quarter of this year’s games is devastating to Pats fans.
You can expect some strong opinions to be voiced on social media over the weekend.

South Park to Take on Caitlyn Jenner, Deflategate in "Stunning" Season Premiere
Well, the season 1 finale of I Am Cait has come and gone, but don’t worry – Caitlyn Jenner will be returning to your TV screen much sooner than expected!
Well, kinda…
The 19th (!) season premiere of South Park will air on Comedy Central tomorrow night, and insiders say creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone will address such timely topics as Caitlyn’s transition and Tom Brady’s deflated balls in the show’s “most stunning and brave” episode ever.
We don’t know if an animated Caitlyn will make an appearance, but don’t be surprised to see one of the characters (our money’s on Randy Marsh) questioning his or her gender identity.
The preview clip above makes no mention of Caitlyn, but it does find Cartman ranting about Tom Brady’s overturned suspension and taking a harsh shot at Gisele Bundchen:
“You’re not giving me four days of detention! You’re only giving me one!” says a Brady-inspired Cartman. “No, to hell with that! You’re giving me no days suspension!
“I’m gonna go home and f–k my hot wife. Who’s not even that hot, kinda looks like a dude!”
Producers say the show plans to take on Jared Fogle’s arrest and other recent scandals later in the season.
Welcome back, South Park. You’ve been missed.
