New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is innocent of ball tampering, according to his father.
Brady has been questioned after allegations that New England deflated 11 of their 12 balls against the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC championship game two weeks ago, but his dad, Tom Brady Sr, has defended him and attacked the investigation team.
He told reporters: "He is all class. For people to question his integrity. The drip, drip, drip way that things have come out, it's a conniving way to do business. There was no sting? B.S. They've never gauged footballs at half time."
Brady went on to guide his team to a fourth Super Bowl win as they beat Seattle Seahawks 28-24.
