Because Ballghazi has become the American sports media’s pre-Super Bowl scam for keeping column inches filled, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady had to address the media in a press conference and … well, it’s been an orgy of Vine-based hilarity. In the clip above, Brady talks about the various varieties of balls that players prefer and that’s not even the best of the bunch…

I mean, kudos to Brady for reminding everyone that we are, in fact, talking about a minor sports scandal and not a radical terrorist organization responsible for many modern day atrocities. Whether or not the media chooses to recognize that fact remains to be seen, but I’m betting on some brave soul penning “Actually, Mr. Brady, Ballghazi Is MORE Important Than ISIS.”

Anyway, SOME GUYS LIKE OLD BALLS.
