Topic: Deflategate

Despite winning the crown, Miss Georgia Betty Cantrell struggled with a Q&A question regarding whether New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady cheated during the "Deflategate" scandal. Cantrell stated that if there was any question about the balls being deflated, then Brady "definitely cheated" and deserved his suspension. Her victory despite a perceived poor answer suggests the Q&A segment may carry less weight than the talent and swimsuit portions of the pageant.

Bill Nye "The Science Guy" is featured in a video where he pivots from discussing the NFL's "Deflategate" scandal to delivering a message about climate change. Nye urges viewers to vote for politicians who recognize the threat of global warming. The segment critiques the use of celebrity entertainers to propagate environmental narratives through unrelated sports news.

The hosts discuss "Deflategate," the controversy surrounding the New England Patriots using under-inflated footballs. They preview Super Bowl XLIX between the Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks. Adam Curry notes that Tom Brady's public image is bolstered by his marriage to Gisele Bündchen, while the hosts prepare to analyze the game through their unique "rigged" lens.
