I am loving the sour grapes from the rest of the Nation as a Patriot fan for 50+ years.

As to the whining about XXXgate. Yeah the NFL office is loaded with ex Jets who hate Belicheck and leak crap about the Pats.

As to the recent controversy, Blame the weather. Balls inflated to 12.5 psi indoors will deflate when exposed to lower temps and become wet:

As to spygate BB operated within the rule Goodell issues an ‘executive order’ changing a rule without going to the process, SOUND FAMILIAR?

Her is a blog post about Patriot jealousy and citing what exactly the Patriots did and what the rule actually was at that time:

Brady is the best QB of all time deal with it. ROTFLMAO haters.

The laws of physics aren't different on the other side of the field, but those balls didn't seem to deflate as much. Funny that.

I am not a Seattle fan, but it says something about the Pats fans that they need these long cut-n-paste excuse responses defending the growing list of "rules issue" controversies.

You need to update your list to cover the, what, 1981 snow plow incident for us older guys. You know, the one where the Pats coach got the snowplow guy to clear off the 23 yardline where a Pats field goal attempt would be held and not just the yard lines (10, 20, etc) like the rules said.

Or a simpler explaination: there is a systemic culture in the organization that has persisted for a number of years.
