Another year, another New England Patriots scandal. After the game on Sunday, it came out that the New England Patriots were being investigated for illegally deflating footballs. It will be pretty interesting to see how it plays out, especially since the referees monitor the footballs before the game. You can see a play in the video above where the referees swapped out a ball that felt light to be weighed.
Breaking: A league source tells me the NFL is investigating the possibility the Patriots deflated footballs Sunday night. More to come.

Told if a league investigation confirms deflated footballs it will result in lost draft picks. Stay tuned.

I hope you’re ready to hear about nothing except “Deflategate” for the next two weeks.
