Cheating Scandals Will Forever Tarnish the Brady-Belichick Legacy

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2337295-cheating-scandals-will-forever-tarnish-the-brady-belichick-legacy

Not much here that hasn't been said already BUT some good parts:

I've defended their Spygate shenanigans as minor cheating. Defended their Super Bowls. Defended it all. But no human being with a functioning cerebrum can do that now.

Sure, New England Patriots fans will. This is what fans do. Everyone cheats. All teams try to get an edge. You think the Patriots are the only team to underinflate footballs? It wouldn't have mattered in the game anyway. You're just a hater. All Brady and Belichick want to do is win. They are winners. Because winning. Patriot winning is greater than your winning. Mom, apple pie and winning. Please hold it down over there. We're winning.

The excuses from Patriots fans are flowing like a fine vintage of clam chowder. This is the second time the Patriots have shown they don't care about rules. To the Patriots, rules are for suckers. Rules are for losers. Rules are for you and me, not for Brady and B.


and

I want fans defending the Patriots to consider this scenario: The Patriots lost their last two Super Bowls to the Giants. What if it was discovered in those games that the Giants had some sort of edge the Patriots did not? And that edge was illegal?


Food for thought.

are really having fun with this latest scandal. My local newschannel said the inflate gate scandal was "really blowing up " and saying the Pats are calling it "a bunch of hot air". LOLOL.

And oh for this thread

Those of us who live in reality know that this is all sour grapes horseshit.
