I'm assuming they all played with the same ball, so what's the problem? Besides... if it's cold and rainy, I'd rather have a football the player can grip than one with the characteristics of a wet bar of soap. Big, f*cking deal. In any case, I hope public opinion builds against New England. All the more motivation for the Pats to win.
Each team provide their own football and they practice with them before the game. The footballs the Colts brought were not deflated and were in the allowed psig range.

I like Tom Brady and the Patriots, they were always the second team in Madden. But it is hard to imagine, for a veteran like Tom Brady to not notice a deflated ball. They showed former players on espn easily picking out the deflated ball out of 3 footballs.

The benefit of deflated balls are you can grip the ball better as a runner and as a qb/passer. You can catch it better and throw it further by being able to easily grip and better grip in one hand.

It's interesting how this is going to unfold.
