The “DeflateGate” scandal has been taking over headlines this week, and Conan O’Brien jumped on the bandwagon to make fun of the New England Patriots, but he added a surprise target: Bill Cosby.
The Patriots are facing accusations of cheating following an NFL investigation into whether they played with deflated footballs during the AFC Championship last weekend. On Thursday, O’Brien kindly pointed out that the Patriots have cheated before — plenty of times. He enumerated their offenses during his monologue and reminded everyone of the time Cosby was put on Gatorade duty — for the opposing team.
