You know a sports scandal has gained notoriety when Kim Kardashian has something to say about it.

Deflategate has taken the world by storm, leaving football fans arguing whether or not the New England Patriots intentionally deflated their footballs to help them win the game against the Indianapolis Colts or if "physics" was the cause. Regardless, Kim thinks it's just a bunch of "hype."

"It's an interesting story," she told For the Win. "I think they played well. They deserve the spot, and you know, I don't really know...If it's rumors that happened, if it's fact or just if that's really what happens. I'm excited to watch the game.

"I don't really feed into all of that, sometimes I just think it's hype," she said.

Kim has dated athletes over the years, one even being an NFL star, so she's certainly familiar with the sport, but is it her favorite?

"I used to go to more football games," said Kim, seemingly referring to ex-boyfriend Reggie Bush. "I just kind of like it all. I think football's really fun and interesting to watch. [Kanye West and I] like basketball games, so I would say between basketball and, if I was playing, tennis."

She's not the only one who is wondering the true motivations behind deflategate. Louis C.K. stopped by the Late Show With David Letterman and explained to the host that he could justify the Patriots' under-inflated balls.

"Well, 'cause they wanna win real bad," the comedian said. "So sometimes you do stuff that's not...fair. So you can win. I have no problem with it, I think it's hilarious, and why not? It's a stupid football game.

"Deflate the balls, poke a guy in the eye, or whatever," he added. "It's football."

Of course, celebs aren't the only ones having a little bit of fun with Tom Brady's balls, LOL! Other football players such as Eli Manning are also poking fun at the situation.

"I thought it was kind of strange that Brady knew he liked his ball at 12.5 pounds of pressure in the ball," Manning said. "How did he measure that? I don't know what that means!"
