I was done with this story 4-5 (whenever) months ago.  For 15 years QBs have done whatever they wanted to the ball.  Aside from personal comfort, I see no advantage to deflating the ball a lil.  The ass whoopin' they put on the Colts in the second half of that game is indicative of that.

I'm as sick of the Patriots as anybody, but I don't think that this rises to the level of spygate, or coaches suggesting that players headhunt guys on the other team.

Some people keep trying to say that it didn't really matter because NE put a whipping on the Colts, and the whipping part is true. However, at the time the balls were deflated, what was the score? 0-0? It was done to give one team an unfair advantage over the other before the game is actually played, and not the first time it was done. You could point back to other games where the final score was close and NE won and claim that it was an advantage for that game.
