Tom Brady on Deflating Footballs

Tom Brady and the New England Patriots have been fighting allegations that they have been deflating footballs during the AFC blowout win over the Colts. Deflating the balls would make it easier to catch, to throw, and harder to force fumbles on runners.

How do you think they should be punished? if not why?

  • Your summary is quite brief. Give more details.

  • Yes if it is true I think that the game should be an automatic loss. 

  • While what they did is wrong, I think that it's probably too late now to punish them for it. I really don't care whether they get to play or not, just as long as Seattle gets beat.

  • If they would have a punishment they should just redue the game.

  • I personally love the game of football and think this is a bunch of crap. If im not mistaken the balls were found at halftime and after that the patriots scored another 20+ points on the colts. To me that just shows the patriots are a all around better team then the colts. I don't think the team as a whole needs to be punished i just think who ever put the people up to deflating them should be fined. 

  • They should be disqualified for the superbowl and the colts should be in.

  • I don't think that it's right that they are still able to play in the Superbowl. What they did was against the rules and unfair to their opponents. They're only hurting themselves because now that everyone knows, they are looked down upon and have lost a lot of people's trust.

  • I think they should atleast get some kind of penalty. I also think this is a dumb idea because it doesn't make their team look professional at all. 

  • Patriots should be disqualified from the Super Bowl, but it's been too long, and the Super Bowl is too close, so the most that would come of it is a fine.

  • Make them re-inflate 500 footballs using each of the player's own lungs.
