I must of missed the part where Cam Newton or Teddy Bridgewater instructed their team's ballboys to heat footballs, and then held a press conference to deny involvement in the incident which was then later proved to be a lie.
You're right. The Pats are a cheating organization. Spygate taints their dynasty.*Jabee, I took this selfie just for you.
The other day my boss approached me asking why I was so down. I told him I spent the night before reading the fallout from the wells report. He laughed and said I would have better spent my time jerking it to maxim than reading that crap. And he's right. I'm not sure why I've been so down about this. Spygate was far worse. Haters be damned. At this point, the only thing I care about is making sure Brady is there when I see the pats play. If he isn't, that would extremely suck but I'll root on Jimmy with full enthusiasm if that's the case.
Haters be damned.
You can still cheer for your team. We should all hope Brady, Belichick, and Kraft are banned.
The league let the Patriots play in a Super Bowl, they knew was earned by cheating. The league needs to come down hard just like MLB came down hard on the Black Sox Scandal.
Ball deflation is only the tip of the iceberg. The Pats have been cheating for a long time. They brazenly did it too. Just look at Belichick and Kraft's responses and reactions through this whole thing.
Brady looked like a lost puppy out there lying. Belichick tossed him under the bus. Belicheat won't need Brady's noodle arm anymore. Sacrifice him at the altar.

You guys really think that Tom freakin' Brady let the freakin' air out of the freakin' football?
You said what the Patriots did was worse than Pete Rose since it affected the outcome of the game. I'm asking about a similar situation from last season. Let's talk about outcomes.

I said what Tom Brady did is worse.
Because...?
Its so satisfying that everything they won* will be discounted forever by the majority of fans.
Pats fans support of this scumbag organization is pretty gross. If it were my team caught cheating I would be ashamed and I would asking for new ownership, management and players.

I would be massively depressed if I was a pats fan. But luckily life did not burden me with that.
You can actually see the hurt in his eyes.
I have seen it before.
It's a pain and depression so strong than one can't even masturbate to maxim magazines (pretend it is 1993).

He lied about it after getting caught.
What is the asterisk for that game? Tom drugged the Seahawks at half time?

Pretty sure I already went over that.
Once you are known cheaters everything you ever did is suspect.
If you don't like it you shouldn't be fucking cheating all the time.

Buttler is a mutant who can see 1 second into the future.
It's why he couldn't stop the catch but could intercept this one.

I guess it has been documented that the Patriots are the only team that has broken so called rules before in the history of the NFL.
Well they have a history of spying...

Did you cry when they lost
Can't remember a team that was accused and caught in violations that implicated the entire franchise this many times before under the same management since the Raiders were good.
The difference is that the Raider fans were smarter than Pats fans. They knew they were the villains and embraced it. The Pats instead play the victim card every time they get accused or caught cheating.
I don't play the victim at all. I find it hilarious how everyone attacks the Patriots over a weakness to what equates to a hang nail. The modern Patriots organization has gone from loveable underdog to ruthless empire in a short period of time and the only thing that people have against it is a thing that everyone was doing at a time and a rule that no one cared about until the Patriots were involved.
All 32 qbs and teams worked with their equipment managers to purposefully deflate balls below the legal limit to gain a competitive advantage on offense?
That's a bold claim!

Are you Moby?
Are you forgetting the taping Bionic? Is your old age causing you to forget?
It's more probable than not that I am tired as fuck.
While not wearing a seat belt!
Having his idol exposed as a cheat and a fraud must have truly taken away his will to live.

I was parked in a parking lot. My car wasn't even turned on.

Flat tire?

Nope. I inflated my tires last week. Was checking my air pressure after buying a mothers day card.
I wouldn't call Bionic that. Anyone who hates Michael Jordan as much as he does is of certifiably sound mind.

That is a dumb fucking mentality. Pretty much tells you to cheat and just make sure you destroy the other team if you're going to get caught.
I think we're done here.

Regardless of what you see in the photo, he'll claim it was taken from the safety of his living room.
If you confront him with the photo, he'll say he's yet to fully digest it.
You said Rose didn't affect the game. But when I asked how a similar situation earlier in the season affected that game you talked about the off field stuff instead. If you care about how if affects the game, why don't you care about that Panthers game?
I keep bringing up that earlier infraction because I believe this is only a story because it's New England. It would be ignored for anyone else.
If you disagree explain why you weren't up in arms when this happened in November. And remember, no one on Minnesota or Carolina were grilled by the media. No one cared when that incident happened.

They win the Super Bowl but are still the butt of the joke.
