After all the long, exhausting coverage regarding "DeflateGate," there may be no controversy to speak of after all. According to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, more details in the investigation about the New England Patriots allegedly deflating their footballs on purpose for the 2015 AFC Championship Game against the Indianapolis Colts have emerged and show that only one out of the Pats' 12 pigskins were two pounds under the minimum of 12.5 PSI while the other 11 "were just a few ticks under" the required pounds per square inch.
Does that mean Patriots owner Robert Kraft should be expecting his apology any minute now? Not yet. Pro Football Talk is reporting the league has hired some experts to determine if head coach Bill Belichick's theory that temperature and other variables could've effected the internal football air pressure. More details should surface in the coming days, but right now, let's just focus on the most important game of the season, shall we?
