Matt Light goes off on investigation of Patriots

Posted: Updated:

Former Patriots offensive lineman Matt Light spared no words in going after the investigation of his former teammate Tom Brady.

In Boston for Rob Ninkovich's charity Ping-Pong event, Light didn't take long to get fired up after he was asked about Deflate-gate.

"So what I'm going to do, I'm going to put a target on my chest - I'm going to go after everyone that wants to have a conversation about Deflate-gate, so find me, I'll be available for the next two weeks and we're gonna get it on. Does that sound good?

"Would that be entertaining? Can we bring some common sense to it? And here's the deal, right... go to InflationNationRaffle.org and when it's all said and done if you feel the way I do about this ridiculous circus that Roger Goodell and the rest of his little buddies at the league office put together... if you think it's absolutely insane, then side with me, get a chance to come and go to Indianapolis on a private jet, see the game, enjoy the weekend and that's a wrap.

"We're going to turn a circus into something positive. We'll send a lot of kids to camp. And you know what? Roger, if you're listening, we may raise enough money to actually have you attend one of our leadership camps.

When asked by Butch Stearns about Tom Brady's integrity being questioned, Light continued, "Well, yeah, I think that's what you've got to talk about, right? I think the overall New England Nation needs to heal. I mean, we've had crazy things happen. Aside from the fact that we won another championship, like WORLD championship, you guys understand that right? We won a world championship and we had every single guy on that team called into question when it comes to his character, his integrity.

"And here's the one thing that I will leave you with before we get into a really serious debate and the next few weeks.  And Felger and Mazz, they should be the first ones I call. I would love, I would love to just combat the idiocy of those two. If you're a cheater, have you ever seen a cheater put in as much time as Bill and his staff have put in every single day, day in and day out? 

"And here's a great message we should send to every kid across the country, because unlike Juan Williams from FOX News, who right before the game was played, right before the Super Bowl he said, 'What message does it send to our kids?' when there were zero facts. The National Football League hadn't made a statement and that guy makes a statement like that?

"Well, here's a question. What message does it send when you can convict people that work their tails off and are awesome people and give back and lead by example and do things the right way. What message does that say when you can convict them without anything?

"So... let's get it on. I'm ready."

When asked what had had to say to those who think Tom Brady is a cheater, Light said, "Well, you can say whatever you want in this world until you get punched in the mouth. Things change at that point, right? Let's face it.  And that's the world we live in. Nobody's held accountable. I mean, look at our government. We can go on all day, but I'm ready to have this debate, I'll be around for the next two weeks. Look me up, give me a shout. Let's get it on."
