So if they did indeed deflate balls, will they lose their Super Bowl title?

Firstly, speaking as somebody who hates the Pats, so don't declare me a biased fanboy for saying this.

 

No, they won't and shouldn't be stripped of the SB title. The deflated balls only lasted until about halftime when the Colts got a pick and the player realized the ball was really deflated. After that they were reinflated by refs during halftime and the game continues normally. After halftime, I believe the Pats REALLY turned it into a blowout, but I can't remember the scoring by quarter since it's been four months. 

 

Moreover, the Colts didn't use the same balls, so their play was unaffected. Having deflated balls on offense didn't help the Pats' defense stop Luck cold most drives. Had the game been close, and decided by a Pats' TD before the balls were discovered, then maybe there'd be a case here, but considering the history of Brady v Luck and the results that happened, nothing the Colts did would've helped win that game. 

 

I do believe that if they can find Brady truly behind the plans, that he should be suspended and given a harsh penalty (maybe personally stripped of his SB MVP since that's inconsequential to the outcome of that game but very important to him personally).
