Well, I'm not a sociologist, and I'm not formally trained in being able to identify demeanor shifts etc... I 'listened' to the presser, didn't actually watch it though, so can't comment there.  From the 'sounds' of it, he answered all the questions asked of him, and may very well have been getting emotional (angry, upset etc...) throughout the interview, just because the reporters were being complete fucktards.  Like, that guy who asked him to look at the camera and apologize.  Seriously?  The fuck?  The NFL hasn't even formally charged the Patriots with anything, but he's supposed to apologize?


Ya I didn't watch all off it cus looking at the length of the vid alone I could tell it was likely inflated (no pun) with a bunch of worthless questions, but the first few minutes were quite telling.

Hell one of the first things they asked him was "are you a cheater?" And he goes "uhm....I don't believe I am."

I mean come on now. That's like when your girlfriend asks you if she's fat. You don't think about it or respond with "I don't think so." You just say no, plainly and no hesitation. 

Maybe, or maybe he's just taken aback at the accusation when even the NFL hasn't formally filed charges of cheating.  I mean, I personally would have returned that question with, "Are there any 'real' journalists in the audience who have a question based upon the facts currently presented by the NFL"?  Of course, I'm way more confrontational, and have zero respect for journalists in America these days.  But yeah, who knows what emotions were rolling through him at the time.  Hard to convict someone because you felt like their responses weren't as clear cut as you'd like.  But, I dunno, again, so much info that just isn't being revealed right now and it's only feeding the media frenzy.

The video does provide reasonable doubt at this point, so unless the NFL can come up with something to cast that into doubt, well, chalk it up to another investigation the NFL fucked up royally.
