FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -- Tom Brady makes his first public appearance Thursday night since a 243-page report found some of his claims were ''implausible'' concerning under-inflated balls in the AFC championship game.
Brady is scheduled to be interviewed by sportscaster Jim Gray during a previously scheduled event at Salem State University.
The report by NFL-appointed investigator Ted Wells issued Wednesday concluded that two New England Patriots employees violated rules covering game balls and that Brady was ''at least generally aware'' of plans to doctor the footballs to his liking.
Brady's agent, Don Yee, says the NFL was determined to blame Brady for deflated footballs in the 45-7 win over Indianapolis in the AFC title game, and the investigation omitted key facts and buried others.
