"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino said on Wednesday's SI Now that deflated footballs could give quarterbacks an advantage.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to reports, 11 of the 12 footballs allocated to the Patriots in Sunday's AFC Championship Game were under-inflated by two pounds of air (PSI) less than league regulations allow. A ruling on \"Deflategate\" from the NFL isn't expected until after the Super Bowl, but according to Marino, an under-inflated football could help quarterbacks grip the ball in inclement weather, as was the case in Foxborough, Mass., for the Patriots' 45-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;\u2022 MCCANN: Implications of an NFL investigation into Patriots' Deflategate&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"In inclement weather, if the ball is a little deflated, it can help you,\" Marino said. \"It's something that when I played didn't think about it as much, or notice that much. The balls that we'd get before the games, we'd always rough them up.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"We'd use them. When you'd play on the road, you'd have to rely on the other quarterback to make sure that the balls were in good condition. ... Then [the rules changed]. Now, you can bring the balls on the road with you and the ones that you like and the ones that you want to use.\"\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Marino said he didn't think Patriots quarterback Tom Brady intentionally deflated the footballs in Sunday's game.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Mike Fiammetta&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
