INDIANAPOLIS - Ryan Grigson is putting the ball squarely in the NFLs court.The Colts general manager has gone silent on the hottest topic in the NFL ahead of next weeks Super Bowl: whether the New England Patriots intentionally deflated footballs in Sundays 45-7 victory over Indianapolis that gave them the AFC championship and a trip to Arizona to face Seattle.Everything, Im sure is going to come out in the investigation, guys. Like I said, its not appropriate for me to talk about. I cant do that, Grigson said Friday when asked if the Colts notified the league about a potential deflation problem. Its in the leagues hands. Im sorry.Grigson spoke shortly before the NFL said that evidence shows the Patriots used underinflated footballs during the first half of the game. The league said it wants to find out whether deliberate action was to blame, but provided no timetable for doing so.Underinflated balls in theory could provide an advantage because they would be easier to throw and catch. Under league rules, each team provides balls for use on offence. The balls used by the Patriots were properly inflated for the second half and remained properly inflated after the game, the NFL said.There have been various reports as to how league officials became aware of the situation and whether Indianapolis tipped them off. Nobody in the Colts organization has confirmed those details.Last week, Indianapolis coach Chuck Pagano said he had spoken to the Ravens staff and NFL officiating chief Dean Blandino about the unusual formation New England used during a divisional-round win over Baltimore. Pagano had worked on John Harbaughs staff in Baltimore before taking the Colts job early in 2012.On Monday, Pagano also acknowledged he had spoken with the refs before kickoff against New England, though he did not say whether the air pressure in the footballs came up during the discussion.New England coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady have said they didnt know what happened and that they were waiting for the league to complete its investigation. Apparently, so is everyone else.Colts linebacker DQwell Jackson told reporters Thursday at the Pro Bowl that he gave the ball he intercepted to an equipment manager and that he noticed no difference than other game balls. Jackson said he still hasnt gotten the ball back.And Grigson wanted nothing to do with the story.Before we get started, let me cut you off at the pass. Its obviously, like Ive told all you guys, its in the leagues hands, he said as he began the annual post-season news conference. Thats where were at right now.Grigson did shed some light on other topics, though.He confirmed that running back Trent Richardson, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft, had been suspended two games for personal reasons. Richardson was inactive for the divisional-round win at Denver and last weekends loss against the Patriots. Grigson did not provide further details.As for possible retirements, Grigson said the Colts are not pushing receiver Reggie Wayne or defensive end Cory Redding to make quick decisions and suggested both could still be valuable players next season if they come back.Grigson also said that while the Colts do intend to offer a new contract to Andrew Luck, re-signing the Pro Bowl quarterback is not the top priority this off-season. Lucks original deal runs through 2015, and its a foregone conclusion that the Colts will exercise the fifth-year option to keep him in Indy through at least 2016.So what is Indys biggest off-season priority?Finding a way to get past their biggest nemesis, the Patriots. New England has not only beaten Luck four straight times and eliminated the Colts each of the past two seasons, theyve also rushed for 657 yards and 13 touchdowns in the last three games.I think the (Chicago) Bulls were at that point one time before they started their run. You know, they had to learn to beat the Pistons, the Bad Boys, Grigson said. I think thats where were at. I think we have to figure out, be able to pinpoint those areas because sometimes its not just what you think. Its more than meets the eye.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/ap_nfl Bernard King Jersey .

The goals took Liverpools tally in the Premier League this season to 70, overtaking Manchester City as the top scorers, and left the fourth-place team just four points behind league leader Chelsea. However, manager Brendan Rodgers refused to be drawn on Liverpools title hopes. "I think for us, were concentrating on our performance," Rodgers said. "Were just concentrating on winning games. No one is really talking about us for the title anyway. Everything now is about Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal." Sturridges first came in the third minute when he received a through ball from Raheem Sterling before rounding Swansea goalkeeper Michel Vorm and firing into an open goal. The striker then provided the assist for Henderson to double Liverpools lead in the 20th from the edge of the area. Jonjo Shelvey pulled one back for Swansea against his former club three minutes later with a long-range strike that went in off the crossbar. He held his arm up in apology to his former club, a gesture that received applause from the Liverpool fans. But the home supporters were shocked into silence soon after when Wilfried Bony equalized in the 27th minute, with his header from Jonathaan De Guzmans free kick taking a slight deflection off Martin Skrtel.dddddddddddd Sturridge gave Liverpool a 3-2 lead at halftime when he headed in from close range after a Luis Suarez cross had found him unmarked. Swansea levelled soon after the interval though when Bony scored a penalty after being fouled by Skrtel. Suarez went close to restoring Liverpools lead but Vorm saved well when one-on-one with the striker before De Guzman nearly gave Swansea the lead when he shot just wide from a free kick. Henderson struck the winner after receiving a pass from Suarez. His initial shot was parried by Vorm but the England forward reacted quickest to poke the ball in from close range. Despite the victory, Rodgers is hoping to see an improved defensive display against Southampton next weekend. "At 2-0, we should manage the game better," Rodgers said. "We are obviously very disappointed with the goals we conceded." Swansea manager Garry Monk tried to take the positives out of the defeat. "I cant complain about the effort from my players," Monk said. "Going forward, I think its a confidence boost to them that they can come to somewhere like this - where a lot of people thought they would wipe the floor with us, the way theyve been dismantling teams here - and we were in the game right up until the final whistle."
