FOXBORO, Mass. - A source within the NFL tells WTHR.com's Bob Kravitz that the league is investigating the possibility that the Patriots deflated footballs in their 45-7 win over the Colts Sunday night at Gillette Stadium.The source told Kravitz that officials took a ball out of play at one point and weighed it. His tweet reporting the news shortly before 1 a.m. Monday quickly spread across social media and has been dubbed "DeflateGate."New York Newsday's Bob Glauber tweeted around 7 a.m. Monday that NFL Spokesman Michael Signora confirmed the WTHR exclusive that the NFL is looking into whether footballs were properly inflated during the Colts-Patriots game."We'll cooperate fully with whatever the league wants us to, whatever questions they ask," Patriots coach Bill Belichick told the media Monday
Life for the sake of life means nothing.
Toddlers get too much exercise, they wouldn't make good veal.
So it turns out there's meat to this story. 11 of the 12 balls tested were all underweight by 2 pounds. Doesn't sound like a lot to us laymen but due to the fact that I'm a raging football fan I know that's a fucking ton out there on the field.

I was really confused by this because 2 pounds sounds like a lot more than what a football weighs. Then I googled it and it turns out it's 2 psi, not pounds (so about 15% below regulation pressure).Some small part of me hates itself after using imperial units and referring to an American football egg as a "football"
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were: "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches. Tingly!

It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.
