In the days before the Super Bowl, even the most casual of sports fans get caught up in chatter about outrageously priced ads and half-time shows guaranteed to generate controversy (wardrobe malfunction, anyone?).

But this year, that excitement has taken a back seat to the New England Patriots' Deflategate fiasco. The latest target? A locker room attendant who is said to have been video taped walking into a bathroom with footballs from both teams. Allegedly, the ball boy was in the room for 90 seconds after the footballs had been inspected, according to reports.

One late-night comic invites his audience to guess what the bathroom break was for. Another comic provides video footage that gives his audience a clue.
