It would have been best for them to get the record without any mitigation caused by questioning of it, but on the other hand they may not have gotten to 16-0 without it.
Might be willing to make a dollar bet right now that every sports journal covering the Patriots' win will have a little sidebar mentioning the cheating scandal.
Not one whisper about the cheating scandal.
If they continue and win out, it won't even be in the footnotes. And it's not because "us immoral and uncaring people" turn our heads, it's simply because this is a great team and what Belichick did was in consequential in any of their wins.
Sorry about that......it simply is. You should stop the sour grapes at some time, maybe now's a good time for that........
What is the play that is always shown on Super Bowl VII highlights?
Even a "perfect" season is never truly perfect.
The Dolphins could have ended the 17-0 season with a 17-0 Super Bowl score. After 35 years, I'm still fuming about it.
