While most reports indicate the Patriots punishment would be a loss of draft picks, Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee is getting ready in case the league takes more drastic action.

If New England was to be DQ'd.. We'd be their replacements right??... I should probably lay off these strawberry margs

McAfee is set to appear in this weekend's Pro Bowl in Arizona, so he will hopefully take a brief cocktail break on Sunday for the game. Then again, it is the Pro Bowl, so maybe he should just drink on the sideline.
