Wouldn't that be all of them except for that Brady ball thing? I dont remember another. That doesn't mean there wasn't one.

Haven't got a copy but over on Ramsrule they are saying it's well worth reading.

they got caught filming the Rams practice before the Super Bowl ... how do we know that they didn't film the Raiders practice before the Conference Championship game that season?

I'm thinking that there are a lot of things that went on that nobody knows about.

Deflating a ball only once? Any chance they've been doing it for years?

Have they been listening in to other team's in-game communications?

anyone believe that Robert Kraft visited a massage parlor only one time in his entire life?

The following article raises the concern that there is/was a "Headset-gate" issue going on.

I'm thinking that what is known about their cheating is only the top of the iceberg.

'Til now, the Patriots getting caught cheating was the same as the NFL looking bad. Maybe we're at a point now where the NFL won't feel like it is the league that will look bad if they finally discipline their own cheaters.


Deflate-gate, NFL went all in on that one...

I think those time they are a changin'.. Brady went down for having soft balls, Bill got fined a $1M and the team lost draft picks. There have been other allegations over the years (including our 1st SB) that have not been prosecuted. This one has video. Not good.

It does make me wonder if finally having the video evidence will sway public opinion about their legacy? Glazer just "broke" the actual video and it clearly shows that they were taping the Bengals sideline, exactly what they've been accused of through the years.

That's pretty damaging video. I can't for the life of me understand why they would do that against the Bengals though, , , other than Cincy has a new coach (new to NE) and they don't know the substituting patterns...
