The New England Patriots have been caught for deflating 11 of the 12 footballs used on offense against the Indianapolis Colts during the AFC Championship. The NFL investigation into what is now commonly referred to as Deflate Gate turned up conclusive evidence that many of the Patriots footballs were deflated up to two pounds (per pressure) under the legal limit (12.5 - 13.5). The consequence will most likely be a loss of draft picks and a heavy fine, similar to the punishment for Spygate back in 2007, where Head Coach Bill Belichick was fined $500,000 and the Patriots lost their first round draft pick.
Dan Wetzel of Yahoo Sports weighed in on Deflate Gate:
“That's not a little. Not the number of under-inflated balls, not the amount they are under-inflated. Some gamesmanship of trying to pump up or down a ball is understood. Everyone is always trying to gain an edge. This isn't that. This isn't a coincidence. And, because it's the Patriots and because it's in the run-up to the Super Bowl at the end of a season when the NFL has been consumed by scandals, it's a huge story. Fair or not, that's life in the big city. Bill Belichick and company will have to deal with it.”
Aaron Rodgers deflated ball?
