#DeflateGate: NFL Investigates Whether Patriots Deflated Footballs In Game Against Colts; Twitter Jokes Abound

The NFL is investigating whether the New England Patriots intentionally deflated footballs used Sunday in its Super Bowl-qualifying win over the Indianapolis Colts. NFL spokesman Michael Signora told ABC the organization was looking into the issue, which fans on social media have dubbed DeflateGate. Footballs have to be inflated from 12.5 and 13.5 pounds per square inch, according to ABC. If a ball is missing air, it could be easier -- or harder -- to catch.
