I guess the question now is, what will come of this??? Replay the Pats/Colts game, fine, big hoopla then die out???

Wouldn't that mean the Colts cheated as well?

With the Patriots under investigation for using deflated balls in a blowout win over the Colts, another vague — and far more confusing — accusation of ball deflation has emerged.

According to Jason La Canfora of CBS, “[s]ome of the Baltimore Ravens believe kicking balls used in their playoff game at New England were slightly under-inflated.”  La Canfora also writes that “sources said some on Baltimore’s sideline believed there may have been irregularities with the kicking balls,” and that because “Baltimore’s kicking and punting units were not getting their normal depth and distance, and some believed the balls they were using may have been deflated.”

So, will they give the game to the Colts? That will make for a good Super Bowl. They should have something happen to them but what?

I'm still going with the probablility that the officials who checkthe balls before, during, and after the games basically let the balls through and mark them as "OK", as long as they ain't totally funky and messed up. Every QB has their own preference - over-inflated, under-inflated, right in the middle inflated, beat to shit, brand new, etc, and as long as the ball isn't too effed up, let 'em play. I'm basing this on things other team players - Packers, Giants, etc - have been quoted in the media as saying in recent years.



I'm betting the NFL is pissed to learn this is happening. But, because it's the Pats, it's a BIG FREAKIN DEAL.
