It's confirmed Patriots used deflated footballs during the AFC Championship game against the Colts...

"The New England Patriots had 11 of their 12 allotted game footballs under-inflated by 2 pounds of air (PSI) as required by NFL regulations, according to league sources either involved or familiar with the investigation of Sunday's AFC championship game when the Patriots beat the Colts 45-7 to advance to their sixth Super Bowl."

This is the exact reason why I can't stand the Patriots. They are always using some backhanded way or blatant cheating to win a game. Absolutely ridiculous that they keep getting away with things like this if you ask me... IMO some major action should be taken against them by the NFL.

They should lose draft picks at the most. Not like deflated balls had anything to do with the beatdown they gave Indy.

a) It's probably not the first time they've done it (remember everyone thought Spygate was a one time incident til Roger had to admit the Patriots were doing it since 2000)

b) Even if they would've beat the Colts without it (and probably would have), so what? Cheating is still cheating. That's not fair to the Colts, or even the entire NFL.
