Wouldn’t both teams have the “deflated balls”? You dont win 45-7 because you deflated the ball.
Pa-lease.

Yeah, that’s the big rub. If both teams have them, you have to go to some second-order gripe like “but Brady got to practice with the deflated balls.” Good luck with that.

Isn’t “deflated balls” a euphemism for steroid use?

Don’t both teams use the same balls? If so, wouldn’t a deflated ball have the same advantages/disadvantages for both teams?

Yes, but...If it can be proven that a team intentionally did this, then there could be consequesnces for them. Belichick is a known cheater."

Exactly.

If the so-called deflated footballs were easier to throw and catch for the Patriots, wouldn’t they have been easier to throw and catch for the Colts as well?

The Pats would have practiced with deflated balls, the Colts not. Plus the psychological advantage, which is huge.

A regimen of penicillin can get rid of that..

I think the only deflated balls this past weekend were those of Packers fans.
