Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady’s press conference this afternoon to address #DeflateGate might not have inspired drinking games and bingo cards like the State of the Union address, but it provided plenty of entertainment as the free world stopped to watch Brady talk about how he prefers his balls. Which are jokes and which are direct quotes? It’s impossible to tell without going to the videotape.
Tom Brady is trolling us so hard right now.

.@jaketapper — and I quote — "This is a guy who has said in the past he likes his balls a little bit soft." (With a straight face!)

Finally, the #nationalconversation on quarterbacks' balls we've been too afraid to have.

Trying to avoid "Brady Balls Conference Gets Testy" headline. RT @kairyssdal Gotta give Brady credit for keeping his cool here.

I can't believe I'm watching Tom Brady describe how he squeezes balls. This must be the greatest practical joke in @NFL history.

@redsoutrage The questions are awesome.
"Who the handles the balls after the game?"HA HA!

( •_•) Sounds like these questions to Brady are …
( •_•)>⌐■-■
(⌐■_■) softballs.

I think we all need to know who else felt those balls.

It would be so simple to put a stop to all the ball jokes — if anyone really wanted to.
That would have been a very different press conference if he had just made effort to say FOOT-balls.
