They are the refs....its their job...That is one place where I don't understand how it got missed on field for so long.

If ya notice there is no official inquiry to your question. It is one of my questions too. There is a pic circulating showing a ref placing a ball on the field and his thumb is slightly indented. I won't post it here cause I cannot verify it. Of course there is alot of speculation on why the refs didn't feel it, or if they did and said nothing. But the fact is the NFL verified 11 of 12 were under inflated, only on the Patriots side. Belichick is a nervous wreck in news conferences, and get this.....A new reporter, at the Tom Brady news conference....

Reporter directly to Tom Brady: Is Tom Brady a cheater?

Brady's reply: I do not think Tom Brady is a cheater( I need to verify that those words are exact, but it's along those lines.)

Ummmm...that was yes or no question. Brady sidestepped it deliberately.

To me this has nothing to do with the score. I'll never say the patriots were gonna lose. I will say they cheated.
