could have saved a ton of money and time, we all know NE will bend the rules to win and they cannot be trusted but most teams do the same thing.
Cheaters going to cheat. No other team has had all of their Championships spoiled by cheating. 4 SB Title all under the shadow of CHEATING!

It's not the doctoring of balls that upsets me about this. It's how fucking pompous the pats are about all it. Not making this guy available. Kraft DEMANDING an apology before the investigation had really begun. The fact the rule that teams provide a dozen of their own balls was lobbied for by Brady (and Manning.) Just like how Kraft fought to keep headsets off the defensive side of the ball the summer before spygate. I honestly feel QB's tailoring balls to their personal spec is a non issue and was actually on the pats side when this first broke. But the holier then thou bullshit coming from New England is fucking infuriating.
Aren't Brady and the pats also guilty of not co-operating fully with the enquiry? To me it looks like the equipment guys have fallen on their swords to protect brady
And that's the thing..they are already saying the Patriots and Bellishit weren't involved which will allow them to escape..this all goes back in my mind to when bellishit threw brady under the bus a few days after this came out. I'm sure that was all planned out in advance.
Rich Cimini @RichCimini 9s9 seconds ago Well report contains 25 references to Jets. Report says Tom Brady "complained angrily" about inflation level during 10/16/14 game vs Jets.
Kraft already set a precedent with the Bountygate punishment that ignorance by the HC and organization is not an acceptable excuse
Reading the text messages between McNally and Jastremski is fascinating. They are ripping into Tom Brady because they know they are cheating for him but he just bitches at them and complains. Particularly about the Jet game. These guys should be prosecuted and Brady needs a significant penalty. He should be banned but lets see what the NFL does.
