Joe Montana Says ‘Defalte-gate’ Easy To Figure Out – Gives Unique View

Joe Montana weighed in on 'deflate-gate' saying that it's easy to figure out who is responsible. He also gave a unique view on the whole situation.

The New England Patriots says they didn't do it. But Joe Montana knows...

"I mean, it's easy to figure out who did it," Montana told a small group reporters on radio row at Super Bowl XLIX today. "I mean, did Tom do it? No, but Tom likes the balls that way, obviously, or you wouldn't have 11 of them that way without him complaining because as a quarterback, you know how you like the balls. If it doesn't feel like that, something's wrong."

What he's getting at is Tom Brady didn't personally go and deflate balls himself...but someone else did FOR him.

"The quarterbacks don't touch the footballs," Montana said. "If I ever want a ball a certain way, I don't do it myself. So somebody did it for him. But it's not that – I don't know why everybody's making a big deal of it trying to figure out who did it. It's pretty simple. If it was done, it was done for a reason and there's only one guy that does it. Nobody else cares what the ball feels like."

Montana then gives his unique perspective on the whole ordeal, saying that deflate-gate is "a stupid thing to even be talking about because they shouldn't have the rule anyway."

Hmmmmm?

"If you want to see the game played with the best, everybody has a different grip, everybody likes a different feel," Montana said. "You know where it all began? The kickers. Where this rule came from were the kickers. The kickers many years ago did so much to the ball that it looked so differently that (the league) decided we're going to take (the kicking balls) right out of the box.

"Now if you look at the ball, they let you doctor the ball more than anything. The ball's not even the same color as it is when it comes out of the box, so what's the difference in the air pressure?"

He went on to say that the feel of the ball is something that absolutely mattered to him when he played. He also said he and fellow Hall-of-famer Troy Aikman laughed that they wished they would have thought to do that.

While it may be true what Joe says, the rule shouldn't even be there, the fact of the matter is the rule IS there, and it WAS broken.

Where do you think the NFL should go from here?
