I'm not a Pats fan, but I think this is a bunch of boring crap too. If you believe this news report:
Indianapolis Colts interception led to question on whether New England Patriots deflated balls - ESPN Boston
Quote:
According to the Newsday report, Colts general manager Ryan Grigson was alerted about the ball in the Gillette Stadium press box. Grigson contacted NFL director of football operations Mike Kensil, who then told game officials during halftime.
New England, up 17-7 at that point, went on to win 45-7.

Then after the refs were told to ensure the balls were fine, the Pats out-scored the Colts 28-0.
Maybe they should have let them use the deflated balls.
