Re: Mortenson confirms Patriots deflated balls!!!

@mortreport: NFL has found that 11 of the Patriots footballs used in Sunday’s AFC title game were under-inflated by 2 lbs each, per league sources.

@mortreport: NFL has no comment at this time and Patriots say they will continue to cooperate with the investigation. More on SpotrsCenter.

@JasonLaCanfora: As NFL investigates Deflate-gate would be wise to speak to Ravens. Some there believe kicking balls used in their playoff game underinflated

@JasonLaCanfora: There appeared to be less air in some kicking balls which may have had an impact on the depth of punts and kickoffs in AFC Divisional game

This is interesting. It suggests it was very contrived and that Belichick did have knowledge about it.

I wonder if Walt Anderson is complicit in this.

Re: Mortenson confirms Patriots deflated balls!!!

I am looking forward to seeing the NFL spin this. This is the 2nd time being caught, and both times almost directly implicate the head coach.

There ought to be hell to pay for this one.

But I mean this isn't a player hitting a guy in the head by mistake, this is real legit cheating.

Can't let the NFL's flagship franchise image be tarnished.

Walt Coleman? Isn't he the Pats stooge?

Coleman was responsible for the Tuck Rule fiasco. Walt Anderson was the head official in the Pats/Colts game. If a lowly equipment manager for the Colts noticed that a ball was underinflated, the refs should have as well since it's their job.

Still doesn't change the outcome of the blowout against Indy. Indy sucked plain and simple.

My bigger concern is wanting to know if this has been happening all season or just this one game. And compiled with the factual evidence they've been caught filming the Jets practices, it begs the question what else are Belichick and the Patriots doing that is unethical?

The league should open an in depth investigation.

Refs take care of kicking balls. Teams dont touch them

It was hand signals, not practices

of course it happened all seasons Aaron Rodgers even said he likes his balls over inflated. my question is how come the refs didn't say anything since they handle the balls as much as quarterback

Re: Mortenson confirms Patriots deflated balls!!!

Was Brady the only QB on the field using deflated balls? I don't really see the advantage to either team.
