And this still doesn't take away from the fact that Brady called for the balls to be deflated.
And it still doesn't take away from the fact that Brady pleaded with the NFL to allow teams to handle their own game balls. He was on the forefront of it.
Remember, same guy that claimed he didn't 'know nuttin' about PSI, the rule or the rule change despite being the fact that HE was the guy that lobbied for the rule change.
He's a liar and a cheater.
Oh, BTW:
Ints (home): 26
Ints (road): 39
And pre-2006:
1 TD thrown for every 20.7 pass attempts
1 INT thrown for every 38.6 pass attempts
Post-2006
1 TD thrown for every 17.2 pass attempts
1 INT thrown for every 60 pass attempts
So, he decreased his INT per attempt rate by 56%
He was extremely steady and consistent with his INT rate prior to 2007. Same with his fumble rate. Then, at the same time that he lobbied for the rule to be changed and it was changed...he improved his INT rate and fumble rate *immediately* at an astounding rate. There was no steady improvement, it was a drastic, overnight improvement from being quite good to historically great.
