Here are some text messages exchanges between Pats locker room attendant Jim McNally and his assistant John Jastremski from the Wells report.
Very entertaining stuff, McNally isn’t a Brady fan.
For example, on October 17, 2014, following a Thursday night game between the Patriots and the New York Jets during which Tom Brady complained angrily about the inflation level of the game balls, McNally and Jastremski exchanged the following text messages:
McNally: Tom sucks…im going make that next ball a fuckin balloon
Jastremski: Talked to him last night. He actually brought you up and
said you must have a lot of stress trying to get them done…Jastremski: I told him it was. He was right though…
Jastremski: I checked some of the balls this morn… The refs fucked
us…a few of then were at almost 16Jastremski: They didnt recheck then after they put air in them
McNally: Fuck tom …16 is nothing…wait till next sunday
Jastremski: Omg! Spaz
On October 21, 2014, McNally and Jastremski exchanged the following text
messages:McNally: Make sure you blow up the ball to look like a rugby ball so
tom can get used to it before sundayJastremski: Omg
On October 23, 2014, three days before a Sunday game against the Chicago
Bears, Jastremski and McNally exchanged the following messages:Jastremski: Can‟t wait to give you your needle this week 🙂
McNally: Fuck tom….make sure the pump is attached to the
needle…..fuckin watermelons comingJastremski: So angry
McNally: The only thing deflating sun..is his passing rating
The next day, October 24, 2014, Jastremski and McNally exchanged the
following messages:Jastremski: I have a big needle for u this week
McNally: Better be surrounded by cash and newkicks….or its a rugby
sundayMcNally: Fuck tom
Jastremski: Maybe u will have some nice size 11s in ur locker
McNally: Tom must really be working your balls hard this week
This is GOLD JERRY, GOLD I TELL YOU (Seinfeld reference). McNally has to get that hate out of his heart, but it does appear Brady knew exactly what was going on.
