WHO let the air out?

IF, the New England Patriots, did, in fact, purposely not inflate the footballs to the proper psi, and if it could be proven where the source for such a decision was made, and if the coach, the owners, or someone other than the guy with the pump, who had a wild idea, did make such a decision, they should not be allowed to play in the Super Bowl

I don't know for sure how the system works, does each team use their own footballs, I can't imagine that happening, I would think that both teams use the same footballs, if so, what would be an advantage to one would also be an advantage to the other.

That I do not understand. It is inconceivable to me that the coach would tell the "ball boy" to under inflate 11 of the 12 balls used. Did the 12th ball have a "Do Not Use" label on it?

And, why, would anyone think that such a difference would not be detected. The players, the officials, have been handling them for years, Who noticed the difference. I think one official did. Didn't Andrew Luck, the Colts quarterback notice, or he aid and chose not to say anything, like finding gold.

Or, is this just something to add more "fuel" to the Television Show that used to be a football game that was televised? I can just imagine so TV Exec coming up with the idea at a "Drop it in the well and listen to is splash" meeting in some ivory tower. Anything to get people talking.
