Arian Foster, Matt Leinart, others downplay Deflategate

NFL-refs-underinflated-footballs

While there are plenty of fans, analysts and players who are up in arms over the latest cheating accusations against the New England Patriots, there are others who feel that the amount of air the Pats have or do not have in their footballs has no correlation with their success.

Many of those people are current and former NFL players. The most notable may have been Houston Texans running back Arian Foster, who is never afraid to share his opinion on Twitter.

Matt Leinart and Shaun King, two former NFL quarterbacks, agreed with Foster. Both insist that tampering with footballs is something that every NFL quarterback does.

Hey, we know at least one former NFL quarterback who admitted to paying someone to mess with balls before the Super Bowl.

One of the more surprising reactions came from Indianapolis Colts tight end Dwayne Allen, who said the amount of air in the game balls had nothing to do with the Patriots dominating his team.

Of course, there are plenty of others — like Hall of Famer Jerry Rice — who believe the Patriots should be nailed to the wall.

We have pretty much seen every reaction imaginable since the original story broke, the funniest of which came from Colts punter Pat McAfee. With more than a week remaining until the Super Bowl, the fun has just begun.
