"We believe the Patriots always win because they are good, smarter, and better-coached than the other guys. Swell. And most likely true. But now all those vanquished opponents can say, “The Patriots win because they cheat.’’ And the Patriots and their fans have no answers.
The fall of Brady is perhaps the saddest part of the entire matter. Brady (“I would never do anything to break the rules”) looks like he was lying when he spoke to the media the week after the AFC Championship.
It is now established that Brady gained a competitive advantage with his involvement in the deflation of the footballs. It’s a violation of the integrity of the game. Rules were circumvented for a competitive advantage. And Brady has yet to admit anything. His Salem State pep rally with Jim Gray last Thursday looks more ridiculous every hour.
Brady also has made Kraft look like a fool. In his defiant moment in Arizona, Kraft spoke of how Brady and Belichick have never lied to him. One can only wonder what these folks are saying to one another now inside the imposing walls of Fort Foxborough. It’s probably time for some truth and humility from Gillette.
All in all, it just doesn’t get much worse than this, Patriots fans. More fights are in store, no doubt. But no matter what happens next, New England’s precious, hard-fought legacy is tarnished. Tom Brady and the Super Bowl champions have been branded as liars and cheaters."
