Bob Costas: Tom Brady Should've Been More Forthright About 'DeflateGate'

Many people were surprised by the stiff punishment handed down to New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady — suspended four games without pay — for his perceived role in the DeflateGate controversy. Everyone, perhaps, except for Bob Costas.

Costas made a stop by the Today show this morning, where he told Savannah Guthrie and Matt Lauer that Brady fumbled “in the court of public opinion” by failing to be more direct about what he said and did with relation to balls.
