Patriots Under Investigation For Deflation Of Footballs
Our boys are getting some serious heat after Sunday's win when they were accused of manipulating the game by deflating the footballs.
We’ll cooperate fully with whatever the league wants us to do, whatever questions they have for us, whatever they want us to do,
According to Newsday, the NFL has kick started their investigation of the New England Patriots possibly deflating their footballs during their Sunday game against the Colts. “We’ll cooperate fully with whatever the league wants us to do, whatever questions they have for us, whatever they want us to do,” said Patriot's coach Bill Belichick during a conference call with reporters.
Tom Brady was asked about the allegations but laughed it off saying “I think I’ve heard it all at this point. That’s the least of my worries. I don’t even respond to stuff like this.” If the NFL finds that the Patriots used deflating footballs then they could fine them or remove draft picks. The Colts first noticed something unusual after linebacker D’Qwell Jackson gave the ball to a member of the Colts' equipment staff. They noticed the ball seemed soft and told coach Chuck Pagano.
If they are found guilty then it would not be the first time the Patriots have been involved in a game-day controversy. In a 2007 game against the Jets, they were accused of taping the Jets’ sideline defensive signals. The Patriots were accused of violating NFL rules and were fined $250,000.
