Tom Brady Sr. has been vehemently defending his son against Deflategate since the day the Ted Wells report came out.
Back on May 6, the elder Brady referred to the whole situation as "Framegate."
As you can imagine, Brady Sr. doesn't like it when people call his son a cheater and that's exactly what a radio host in San Francisco did on Friday. The insults by KGO-AM's Chip Franklin led Brady Sr. to call the station to defend his son, according to the San Jose Mercury News.
Not only did Brady Sr. defend his, but he also took shots at ESPN, the NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell, whom he called a "flaming liar."
The strong words from Brady Sr. started when Franklin said he believed that the younger Brady had told the Patriots equipment team to deflate the footballs that were used in the AFC title game.
"You have no evidence of that and if you read any of the articles and discussions that have gone on in this thing for six months, you would know that you are full of crap," Brady Sr. said.
Brady's dad then went on to make three points: 1. His son cooperated with Wells. 2. Wells told the younger Brady that his phone wouldn't be needed. 3. League employees are required to turn over their cell phones, but players are not.
"When you say Brady is a liar, you better be careful because you don't know what the heck you're talking about," Brady Sr. said.
That's when Brady Sr. decided to rip everyone involved with Deflategate.
"It's all lies," the elder Brady said. "It's all ESPN, it's all NFL propaganda. The only person that's testified under oath in this is Tom Brady. We know Goodell is lying. He lied in the Ray Rice case, he lied in this case and has lied in the [Adrian] Peterson case. How many times do you need to know this guy is a flaming liar?"
At one point, the elder Brady even called the NFL a "kangaroo court."
Clearly, Brady Sr. is not a fan of Goodell, so it's probably a good thing that the NFL commissioner won't be attending the Patriots opener on Sept. 10 since Mr. Brady will probably be there.
