    The Best Of The Internet's Reaction To The Patriots' Deflated Balls

    "Some guys like them round. Some guys like them thin. Some guys like them tacky. Some guys like old balls.” - actual Tom Brady quote.

    Unless you live under a rock you've probably heard a bit about Deflategate, the controversy around 11 out of 12 of the Patriots' balls being deflated during the AFC Championship game last Sunday.

    Because at heart we're all 12-year-old boys, everyone has been having a swell time making ball jokes until they turn blue (ha ha, get it?).

    And because of all the focus on (foot)balls, the jokes kind of just write themselves.

    “One more question, Tom: Balls?” I..don’t follow. “Balls, Tom.” What about them? “Say balls.” Fine! Balls balls balls! You happy? “Very."

    Poor Tom Brady.

    "Tom, enough about your balls, can we see your penis?" -- great question @jaketapper @CNN!

    There's already even a parody for Cialis Inflate-A-Ball, a new prescription to help with those deflated balls.

    "Before starting Cialis Inflate-A-Ball, make sure your quarterback actually has balls to inflate."

    May #DeflateGate be the last time you ever have to see your friends fight over saggy balls.

    It's been a ball, but I think it's time we wrap it up.
