Pat McAfee had great reaction to Deflategate
Had the Indianapolis Colts not lost to the New England Patriots by 38 points in the AFC Championship Game, they would probably be more upset over Deflategate. But because they were beaten so badly and everyone knows they would have lost even if the Patriots were throwing Nerf balls, Pat McAfee is free to make his jokes.
After word surfaced that 11 of the 12 balls the Patriots used last Sunday were found to be under-inflated by about two pounds per square inch, McAfee sent this hilarious tweet.
If New England was to be DQ'd.. We'd be their replacements right??… I should probably lay off these strawberry margs

Colts defensive back Darius Butler had a similar reaction, though not nearly as entertaining.
@nfl So we get to play the game again or nah?

Of course, there’s no way the Patriots are going to have to forfeit anything other than some cash and potentially a draft pick or two.
McAfee is easily one of the funniest guys in the NFL, and some of his best tweeting has come during the playoffs. We’re not surprised Deflategate brought out the best in him.
