Twitter reactions to Tom Brady, Wells report on Deflategate
The NFL finally released the Wells report on Deflategate Wednesday afternoon.
The two biggest takeaways:
1. Two Patriots employees who work in some equipment capacity had an unbelievable text-message exchange about Tom Brady and deflating footballs.
2. Brady was the only Patriot to take a hit with the report.
The text exchange, though, between locker-room attendant Jim McNally and equipment assistant John Jastremski was something you have to see to believe.
These are some of the best responses I received about the conversations between McNally and Jastremski.
Meanwhile, a few NFL players took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the Wells report.

Now, we just wait to hear from Tom Brady, who, per the Wells findings, refused to turn over his phone to investigators. For the time being, this tweet will do.

@JimmyTraina Kimmel should have Ben Affleck and Matt Damon read it on his show in a full Boston accent.

@TedBrink11 @JimmyTraina Thought it was fake at first too but it's real. McNally is so dead.

Be nice to your equipment staff & janitors. They hold the keys to a lot doors... C'mon Tom! #Sports101 cc: @kirkpsud https://t.co/K0E9Cb86m7

@richarddeitsch @JimmyTraina I'm imagining this tweet being wistfully sighed by Burt Reynolds' character in Boogie Nights.

@JimmyTraina this is clearly the missing 18 1/2 minutes of Nixon's Watergate tapes with slightly less F bombs.
