Two New England Patriots employees at the center of the deflategate scandal traded texts about sticking needles into balls for quarterback Tom Brady.
The incriminating messages came to light after the NFL published a lengthy investigation into the controversy, and concluded that it is likely Brady knew of and condoned the scheme to let down the air pressure of NFL balls to gain a competitive advantage.
Jim McNally and John Jastremski, a locker room assistant and equipment assistant, traded messages with each other observing that 'Tom sucks' and also gossiped about wanting cash and signed goodies in exchange for their work.
In one exchange the two discussed using a 'needle', seemingly for letting air out of the balls. At one point McNally asked that he be provided with the implement 'surrounded by cash and new kicks'.
NFL released 243-page probe into allegations Patriots tampered with balls.
