This is true, but the organization was also fined and lost a draft pick. In the publics eye, the "Patriots" cheated, and that is why this stuff about Brady was so easy to believe. In my mind, it reflects why Kraft should have canned Belichick. By not canning him, he is in effect condoning his actions, thus the "cheater" label and suspicions thrive.
Canning the coach that won 3 Super Bowls in 4 years? And
is en route to perhaps a perfect season? If the Pats
were 3-6 right now, maybe, but...the coach once referred
to by Clevelanders as “Bill Dull-ichick” is a moneymaker
for Krafty Bob and sons.
