***Jackson noticed the ball wasn’t inflated as much as usual.***
Didn’t the MARX BROTHERS do this in one of their movies, or was it Harold Lloyd?

Her is the $10 question: Even if the balls were deflated, didn’t the Colts play with the same balls?

The ref’s place the ball at the beginning of each down, and they never noticed anything?

I guess the refs weren’t at that game. Or they didn’t ever hold the ball.

The Colts just took a page out of the Democrat Party playbook: We lost therefore they cheated.

Getting beat by 38 points and you want to try and blame deflated balls? Try playing defense.

Didn’t seem to help the Colts throw and catch.

To the COLTS: You never showed up at the game! How would you know the balls were not inflated enough?

Fully inflated balls might have made the game more competitive: 31-7? 24-7?

I loved one guy's quote yesterday when asked about this.
"45 to 7. I don't care if they were playing with a pillow. All you need to know is 45 to 7!"

Her is the $10 question: Even if the balls were deflated, didnt the Colts play with the same balls?No each team plays with their own balls....er can't believe I typed that. Actually the balls have to be between 12.5 and 13.5 lbs. Some quarterbacks like the high end and others like the low end.

No. Each team gets its own balls, which are used when that team is on offense. This has been discussed ad-nauseum. Look up the NFL rules if you doubt it.
That said, I think the underinflation thing is BS.

I was surprised to learn that apparently each team provides their own footballs to use when on offense.
To: Kartographer
Jackson noticed the ball wasn't inflated as much as usual. He told a Colts equipment manager the ball felt under-inflated and gave it to him.So the ball in question changed hands 3 times...twice by Colts personnel. This Jackson person had no opportunity to do some deflation? Did he? I hope any investigation takes this into account. The train of evidence has corrupted.

No each team plays with their own balls...That's why King Barry is such a fan.

A Colts Player intercepted the New England pass in the first half.
The ball had no effect on the game.
However the NFL covered up Spy Gate on the Patriots even though fines over million dollars and draft picks.
The NFL will never let this story dominate the headlines in a bad Year for the NFL

As illogical as videotaping New York Jets coaches in a 2007?
