Vikings fan through and through and hope they beat whoever if they get there, but I must say I love watching Brady, Belichick, Gronk, and the rest of the Patriots just plain outsmart and outplay most everyone. Never understood the haters, I think it's something that I'm glad I got to witness during my lifetime.
If they are so smart why have they found it necessary to cheat to beat their opponents? I know this was years ago but we know that most drug addicts, thieves , and cheaters don't quit once they are caught they just find better ways to hide it.
This was far and away the worst scandal in Patriots history. In a way it tarnished the team’s legacy as one of the
best dynasties in NFL history. In a game against the New York Jets in 2007, New England was caught videotaping the Jets’ play-call signals. After a thorough investigation, the league determined that this was a
common practice for the Patriots from 2002–07, which was during the peak of their success.
Commissioner Roger Goodell responded by fining the Patriots $250,000, taking away a first-round draft choice, and
fining head coach Bill Belichick $500,000. On a side note, Josh McDaniels, a Belichick disciple, was caught
filming the practices of the San Francisco 49ers while he was the head coach of the Denver Broncos. The apple apparently doesn’t fall very far from the tree in New England.
