Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has not spoken much publicly since the release of the Ted Wells report in May, making a paid appearance at Salem State University just after the report was released and otherwise keeping his thoughts to himself.

Brady was back in front of a microphone on Tuesday night when the Patriots gathered for a gala supporting the team’s charitable foundation at Gillette Stadium. Brady took part in a panel discussion moderated by former Patriot and current radio voice Scott Zolak with a few teammates. There wasn’t any detailed discussion of the report or of Judge Richard Berman’s pending decision in the court case challenging Brady’s four-game suspension, although Brady’s reference was clear when he responded to Zolak’s question about something fun he did this offseason.

“Yeah, it’s been such an enjoyable offseason,” Brady said, via the Boston Herald.

It wasn’t Brady’s only quip of the night. He also compared talking to young teammates to talking to his kids because you have to repeat things over and over again until the information sinks in. That left owner Robert Kraft to directly address Deflategate as the most “overblown” story in recent history as we draw closer to finding out what Berman rules regarding Brady’s punishment almost eight months after the AFC Championship game.
