NFL needs to investigate itself.........once the balls are handed to the officials for inspection before the game, from then on, the balls are the responsibility of the officials, period.
If Indy thought there was a problem with the balls, why wasn't it addressed and/or corrected immediately, during the game.
Besides, there are 24 balls in play; logistically, it would be very, very difficult to control & manage deflating all those ball uniformly or anywhere close to it.
What a farce.........

45 to 7 blowout and some sore losers are out looking for a conspiracy to account for it....LOL! It's like the Colts never showed up.
They could have given the Colts deflated balls to use all day and it wouldn't have mattered....some people can find a conspiracy when they get a parking ticket. Hilarious!

The NFL is the one who should be investigated , for letting the Patriots play a second rate team like the Colts in a Championship Game Ha, Pats cant even beat Buffalo - well, when money is to be made. 
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time by the blood of patriots and tyrants.

The home teams provides 30 balls, and hands them over to the referees. The referees hand the balls out to the teams on the field. Nope. The team on offense gets the ball(s) they want to use, typically one of their own.

The balls are all provided by the home team. This is from the NFL web site:
Digest of Rules Main
Ball
The home club shall have 36 balls for outdoor games and 24 for indoor games available for testing with a pressure gauge by the referee two hours prior to the starting time of the game to meet with League requirements. Twelve (12) new footballs, sealed in a special box and shipped by the manufacturer, will be opened in the officials� locker room two hours prior to the starting time of the game. These balls are to be specially marked with the letter "k" and used exclusively for the kicking game.
Each team is then given 12 balls for the game. An investigation has revealed that 11 or the 12 NE balls tested at half time were underinflated. Now they're investigating HOW they got deflated.

who really cares if the ball is defalted slightly, would it have made a difference in the game...let the team fill their balls however they want it still has to be thrown accurately and caught

I watched that game on Sunday and if they were playing with underinflated footballs during the first half, IMO it didn't help TB's accuracy.
How else do you explain the Pats 2nd half explosion of points? Tom Brady's passes reminded me of Peyton Mannings wobbly passes that looked like wounded ducks in the 1st half.

The NFL doesn't maintain control of the balls during the game and they are surprised by this?
I was never a follower of NASCAR, but is the NFL going in the same direction?

If the balls were inflated indoors and than brought outside in the cold wouldn't they lose pressure like a car tire?

What I don't understand is "WHY"... they don't have to cheat. First the spygate thing and now this. Belechek is like a rich kleptomaniac...he steals when he doesn't have to! He's a creep and I hate to even look at the jerk. He doesn't mind you tryin to cheat him because he's darn sure going to try and cheat you. Vince Lombardi wouldn't be caught dead in the same room w/this SOB. He's a disgrace to the coaching profession. powdr
