It also shows that the Patriots three Superbowl wins during the height of Spygate should be vacated and Darths Hoodie and Choirboy should be banned from the Hall of Fame forever. They had people dress as the other team or reporters to steal playbooks from the other teams locker rooms...that's low. There is literally nothing they did not do to get an unfair advantage. Frankly, the whole team should be thrown out of the league...

Only in football is a cheater more reviled than a rapist or a wife-beater...

Not really, because some of us are perfectly capable of multitasking and revile cheaters who sully the integrity of football. Darren Sharper or Ray Rice are plenty reviled. Aaron Hernandez, Rae Carruth, and O.J. Simpson are as reviled as it gets.

However, the sweeping generalization and embroidered sanctimony are duly noted.

As cheating goes, what Tom Brady probably did is about the equivalent to throwing a spitter in baseball. Which can get you into the Hall of Fame. And makes Brady the Gaylord Perry of football. Except Perry is a folk hero.

This is probably true. 'Course Perry didn't have to orchestrate a nefarious plan using other people to throw a spitter...

Regardless, I still think everyone in this mess acted like a big baby: the Commish, Kraft, Brady, the Judge, etc. Would have been nice to see one of them step up and play the part of an adult, even if that's a stretch for their usual acting range.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady threw his support behind presidential candidate Donald Trump Wednesday, hours before the second Republican debate.

Deflategate

If they can prove this was deliberate, the NFL should...

Fine them.

Take away a 1st draft pick

Throw up their hands and say oh well

Give them a penalty at the start of the superbowl

Make them replay the game against the Colts.

Disqualify them and give their place to the Colts.

Call them mean names.

Make them go fight Isis.
