The topic of 'Deflategate' is probably one that won't be going away for a long, long time. Apparently, though, David Newton of ESPN reports that one Carolina Panther has no idea what that whole thing even is.
When asked about the topic, it was fullback Mike Tolbert, who gave a priceless response.
“What is that? I have no idea what it is," Tolbert replied to ESPN. “Does that have something to do with the Carolina Panthers? I don’t have nothing to do with it."
Alright, alright, so Tolbert was obviously just messing around. Everyone who cares about the NFL, and most people who don't, have heard about 'Deflategate,' but Tolbert still had no interest in talking about it.
“I don’t feel any certain way about it," he said. “I’m one of those guys that [does things] the right way. I don’t think, ‘Oh, he’s going to punish him this way, so it’ll be me next time.’
“I don’t put myself in that type of position, so I don’t care about it being me because it won’t be me."
Tolbert is more focused on football than talking about the off-field drama obviously, which is a good thing. Especially when that off-field drama has absolutely nothing to do with his team.
