There is a very weird controversy brewing over the recent Patriots-Colts game, which the Patriots won 45-7. The NFL is investigating whether or not the Patriots intentionally used deflated balls.
I'm not kidding. Here's the story.
My first thought was--"They're cheating again?!?" (Remember when they were caught spying on the other team practicing--they haven't won a Super Bowl since). But then I remembered something important. The final score was 45-7. I don't care how deflated the balls were--that didn't open up gigantic holes for the Patriots running back (who ran for 148 yards).
On the other hand...any controversy that allows me to use "Deflated Balls" in my headline is fine by me.
