Tom Brady Can Finally Laugh About Deflategate In New Commercial
Brady poked fun at the nearly 1-1/2 year ordeal.

Nearly two years after Deflategate was unleashed into this world, Tom Brady is ready to laugh about it in a new Foot Locker commercial for their Week of Greatness campaign.
Released Wednesday morning, the commercial starts with two people entering a diner while talking about Foot Locker's Week of Greatness, but when they question how it keeps going, that's when Brady, who was trying to enjoy a meal, interjects.
"You know that's an unfortunate mind set you got there. Just become something's great year after year doesn't mean anything's going on. Why can't some things just be great?"

Eventually, the conversation turns from sneakers to footballs.
"Starts with questions then questions turn into assumptions and then assumptions turn into vacations. So why would you punish the Week of Greatness for something that never even happened?" Brady says before losing his appetite and leaving.

It's good to see that Brady can joke about something that involved a year and a half investigation and legal battle. This season, Brady served a four-game suspension for allegedly being aware that team staff members were deflating footballs prior to the 2014 AFC Championship game.
Week of Greatness is a yearly event that celebrates the release of premium sneakers for the holiday season.
