Each team brings their own balls that are inspected by the refs prior to the game start. There are also special balls used for kicking only.
Here's a link to the new article:

Given that 11 of the 12 Pats balls were under-inflated, this is not an accident - this was a deliberate attempt to gain an unfair advantage - ie they CHEATED, and were caught red-handed yet again.

Some folks tend to hate winners and hate success. They hate winners so badly they make up silly stuff. They make silly claims and silly accusations.
That's cause they are loooooooosers. No offense. 
I am a big patriots fan and have been for a long time because they are a class act. And i like winners and winning. I respect and admire winners. As opposed to being JEALOUS of them.
The patriots are the anti-raiders. |
The Pats work really hard -- yeah - they work really hard at cheating. They are NOT a class act. Their modus-operandus has always been about cheating.
"So what - they under-inflated the balls a little - what's the big deal?" you may say. Well, at this point, that is the only thing they were caught doing - but who knows what else they did to gain an unfair advantage? If they were willing to deflate the football - rest assured they were doing other illegal activities.
Everyone keeps saying the Colts played so bad that the Pats didn't need to cheat in order to win. Well, consider this: wouldn't a team look like that if the opposing team had their playbook? Had access to the calls on the field? Knew what plays were going to be run before the ball snap? I would not put it past the Pat to have access to that kind of information.
The Pats may win the Superbowl this year, but in my mind, they will always be cheating losers. Pat are a class act? My arse!
