Slightly paraphrased but not altered to the best I can recall......
Tom Brady on his ritual with his balls: "At this point in the process, to me those balls are perfect. I don't want anyone touching the balls, don't want anyone rubbing them, at that point, to me those balls are perfect, and that's what I expect when I show up."
Mark Brunell on Tom Brady's comments: "There wasn't one ball I didn't put my hands on. If they weren't to my specifications...if they were a little new, if they just weren't worn in enough, I'd have them brush them, or rub them down to make sure they were ready. On Sunday, I'd check them again. Most QBs would tell you that was their process......This is our livilihood.....It's a tough one to swallow."
