The socalled deflategate scandal. The nfl is investigating allegations that 11 of the 12 footballs that the patriots used in their a. F. C. Championship win over the Indianapolis Colts were underinflated. That would be an advantage since underfrom thed footballs are easieser to grip and catch.

Beyond that we have exciting stuff to get to. A lot of republicans will who will never be president met this weekend. And its the subject of tonights democalypse 2016 correspondent audition. 2016 hopefuls are gathering for the iowa Freedom Summit jon the freeh dom summit. A taste of freedom. All downhill from the summit freedomwise. Whoses running this show . Congressman steve kings Freedom Summit. Jon steve king, wait scary stephen king . No, no no no.
