It’s not often a scandal so easily, and universally, lends itself to double entendre like “Deflategate” does. As such, during Tom Brady’s press conference people took to Twitter to express their creativity with jokes about balls. Here are some of the best, many of which are direct Brady quotes.

Brady leaves the podium to drive to his Back Bay mansion and unbelievably attractive wife; journos scribble "balls" & then get laid off
