Tom Brady’s father calls in to a radio station to defend his son.

After a San Francisco radio host said Tom Brady was a Deflategate liar, the Patriot quarterback’s father angrily called in to defend his son, while firing back that the real liar is NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.

KGO talk show host Chip Franklin was trashing the four-time Super Bowl winner on air Friday afternoon, when Tom Brady Sr. went off.

Franklin had asserted that the two Patriots employees – Jim McNally and John Jastremski – definitely deflated footballs to benefit the team.

“You have no evidence of that, and if you read any of the articles and discussions that have gone on on this thing for six months, you would know that you are full of crap,” Brady Sr. growled. “When you say Brady is a liar, you better be careful, because you don’t know what the heck you’re talking about.”

Franklin thought it was unusual that Brady threw his phone away, saying he’s “never” done that himself. Brady Sr. didn’t seem to buy it.

“You got rid of a cellphone, and you went from an Android to an iPhone 6 – have you ever done that? I know I’ve done it.”

Brady’s father also said no one could tell the balls were underinflated, adding that the original information regarding how deflated the footballs were was wrong.

“That’s all lies,” he said. “It’s all ESPN. It’s all NFL propaganda; don’t you get it?”

Brady Sr. then tore into Goodell, who issued the four-game suspension against Brady that Judge Richard Berman tossed out Thursday morning.

“He lied in the Ray Rice case. He liked in this case … How many times do you need to know that this guy is a flaming liar?” Brady Sr. asked.
