Tom Brady Sr. has a message for those questioning the integrity of his son, quarterback Tom Brady, amid allegations that the New England Patriots under-inflated footballs in the AFC Championship Game.

"He is all class," Brady Sr. said following the Patriots' 28-24 victory over the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX, according to ESPN.com. 

"The drip, drip, drip way that things have come out," he continued, referring to leaks during the investigation. "It's a conniving way to do business... There was no sting? B.S. They've never gauged footballs at halftime."

NFL executive vice president Jeff Pash and attorney Ted Wells are spearheading the league's "Deflategate" investigation, which is expected to take several weeks.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Sunday that  just one of the 12 footballs used in the first half of the AFC Championship was two pounds under the required 12.5 PSI, and that the majority were just slightly under the minimum.

Rapoport also reported that Brady told a person close to him that he has no knowledge of what happens to footballs on game day.
