NEW YORK, AP:

A properly inflated ball from the NFL play-off game in which Tom Brady used underinflated footballs is up for auction.

Bidding starts at $25,000 in the auction running through July 17.

An NFL-commissioned report found that during a half-time examination, 11 of the 12 balls used by the New England Patriots offence were under the league-mandated minimum of 12.5 pounds per square inch. The balls were reinflated for the second half against the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Championship.

The ball being auctioned was used on a third-quarter touchdown run by LeGarrette Blount in New England's 45-7 win over Indianapolis. He dropped it, and teammate Brandon LaFell picked it up and handed it to a fan, according to Lelands, which is running the auction.

The NFL fined the Patriots $1 million and took away two draft picks. A hearing before Commissioner Roger Goodell on Brady's appeal of his four-game suspension is scheduled for Tuesday.
