So, it's hard to pay attention to all of your weird rants, but it seems like you got more worked up over the cameras, as stupid as that whole thing was, than you did the squishy footballs thing. While that was even more painfully stupid it served as an excuse to discount the 3 post-2007 rings for a lot of imbeciles out there yet you seem to largely ignore it.
You gotta get on board with it. Either we only won because of cheating or you are giving us partial credit for being a great team that won one hell of a lot of games for legit reasons and I KNOW you don't want to do that.
To drop the sarcasm for a second all this cheating stuff says more about human psychology than it does about any sort of competitive advantage. People didn't believe that we could compete at such a high level for so long when nobody else could pull it off so they had to find another reason that suited their belief system.
Strange as it is, we're still a topic of interest at 3-10 and when we draft a QB next April people are going go "shit.....here comes those massholes again".
See you Sunday, but next year will be a whole different narrative. Your guys better win or it's going to be a total shitshow around this place and probably should be.

I assume Belichick wouldn't be stupid enough to keep spygating after he lost a first round pick. The Pats were a great team from 2000-2007. But there is a difference between being a great team and a legit super bowl champion. We are not looking the same at that Pats dynasty had they NOT won in 2001, 2003, and 2004. In fact, Brady is just barely above .500 as a QB in Super Bowls not counting the ones he won when the Pats were Spygating. You are dismissing Spygate as not a big deal, but I think it was much much much worse than you realize. The Don Van Natta and Seth Wickersham ESPN report in 2015 sheds light on what actually happened, not the Goodell/NFL version.
