Patriots accused of deflating footballs against the Colts

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has laughed off allegations that his team used illegal deflated footballs in their 45-7 thrashing of the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Championship game on Sunday night.

In a Monday morning radio interview with WEEI, Brady was still riding high on clinching his record sixth trip to the Super Bowl and refused to comment on the NFL's investigation of whether his team at doctored game balls so they were easier to catch and throw.

'I think I’ve heard it all at this point,' he said today.

'That’s the last of my worries. I don’t even respond to stuff like this.'

The NFL has confirmed it is investigating the case. Footage from the Fox Sports broadcast shows referees took at least one football out of play on Sunday night. They later turned over the ball to the NFL so officials could weigh it.

well the patriots did forfeit daft picks for video taping other teams practices. So in all actuality they are convicted cheats. Should be banned from the nfl. This league is going to start losing fans over all the bs that's been going on, wife beaters murderers, rapists, drunk drivers and cheaters not to mention the piss poor officiating!

The league is rigged sick of watching T.F.L. Thug Football League. I have learned to like hockey. When they figure out how to heat the ice that will end that. Thugs will take that over

Did you miss the part where a Pats TE was arrested and charged with multiple counts of murder? How convenient for you.

Both should be banned for life for continuous checking. I say this because there is no difference from what they are doing than what Pete Rose did. FAIR is FAIR. Another example of how Pro Athletes think they are untouchable. Another black eye for Football.

12:57 Wrong... they were fined and penalized for taping from the SIDELINE. Every single team tapes the opposing team, EVERY ONE. They pushed the line and did it on the sideline, and the NFL corrected the rule and fined them. Cheaters? No... Pushing the line of the rules? Yes.
