Didn't they say during a game once that Rodgers has his footballs OVER-inflated? Is that not illegal!?
Iam guessing this is what happened.Sometime during the 3rd Q te officials were throwing the ball back to get another. someone must asked them what happened , response wouldve been -"we will check what happened" and their guy ran with it.Matt Chatham @chatham58 4m4 minutes ago
Deflated balls thing is SO DUMB. Ball is handled by an official on EVERY snap. If something was off, it wouldn't last 1 play. MORONS
Well it's pretty obvious that the NFL will look into it. They do that with all accusations about cheating and stuff that they get. I mean, even deciding whether or not to spend any real time investigating it could be called "looking into it". The NFL looking into it means absolutely nothing.Confirmed by NFL?
"NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Monday, via NFL spokesman Michael Signora, that the league is looking into the apparent use of overly deflated footballs by the Patriots during their win."

I don't believe that. If that were true then screw Bob Kraft.
Don't know if this was linked to yet in this thread but Peter King spent a week with Gene Steratore's crew during the 2013 season and he has a snippet in the article about how the balls are done before the game.
So the Pats would have to deflate them on the sideline during the game then, yes?

And the same Peter King today doesnt offer this nugget himself today saying if it is true, it could ve helped the passing game.You might want to inform him of his own article...Don't know if this was linked to yet in this thread but Peter King spent a week with Gene Steratore's crew during the 2013 season and he has a snippet in the article about how the balls are done before the game.

One final thing: Bob Kravitz of WTHR reported this morning that the league would investigate the Patriots for deflating some footballs Sunday night in the championship game. We’ll see how that develops today. I didn’t hear about this until well after midnight, so I’m not sure about its significance. But if true, theoretically it could—could, not would—make a football easier to throw and catch. Again, we’ll see if this has any legs today. Stay tuned.
