    Default Patriots being investigated for using deflated balls.

    The NFL will investigate the possibility that the New England Patriots deflated footballs during the AFC championship game, which they won 45-7 over the Indianapolis Colts, according to Bob Kravitz of WTHR.com.


    It rained constantly on Sunday in Foxborough, Mass., which made gripping the ball challenging. Obviously, a less-inflated ball is easier to grip than a fully inflated one.


    The league has guidelines on how much pressure the ball must have — between 12.5 and 13.5 pounds per square inch, weighing between 14 and 15 ounces.

    Kravitz says the fine could be a stiff one if the Patriots are found guilty.

    There was a delay before the third-quarter-opening kickoff that might have included game officials investigating the balls the Patriots were using.

    The Patriots trying to cheat?

    I'm shocked.

    PEDs, video tapes, murders and deflating footballs.

    Nothing like the model organizations who win in the NFL.

    Considering the incompetence that the recent NFL investigation found in the front office, I don't expect much here.

    At least the Commissioner's preserving the integrity of the games rules by not making it an arena touch game where the crappiest teams can beat the best if they just chunk the ball downfield and wait for a flag since defenders can't touch anyone (except in Seattle, where they're merely prohibited from using lead pipes where refs can see.) Rugby looking better and better by the second....
    Oh, valid point. I thought you meant all starters, you should take the time to be more descriptive, don't be shy. Jaded

    I wonder if the NFL will destroy this evidence too?

    Take away their top 3 draft picks for having a history of skirting the rules. This is where Goodell could make a message without pissing everyone off.

    This is kind of why I'm getting more obsessed with 50's and 60's football and less interested in the current product. Plus I am old

    Yeah, especially when NE was kicking their ass running the ball.
