"..the Jealousy and Envy Crowd what I meant was that there are gonna be people that oppose Brady just 'cause he got the girl, oppose Brady 'cause he's tall and good-looking and a star quarterback and wanted him punished on that basis... a lot of alignment against Brady was simply based on jealousy and envy and a lot of people hoping Brady got the four games just 'cause it's justice. "Nobody should be this lucky to be that good-looking, that tall, that good an athlete, with that good-looking kids get the beautiful girl. Nobody should have that kind of luck!" Those people are all over the place. You'll find them all over the place, and those are the people that will be upset here. ~Rush Limbaugh
Calm down, it’s ESPN reporting this.
Ultimately it probably won't change any minds on either side, but was very interesting just to see the inner working of the NFL and the various personalities involved.
Most importantly, I do think it did a good job of laying out how Spygate is connected to Deflate-gate (in terms of old grudges and perceptions, not the actual actions behind the "cheating" (?) in each case, obviously).
I see ESPN is taking marching orders from their overlords... the NFL. The fact this is a hatchet job is so patently obvious. You get you butt handed to you in court... the solution... more “leaks.”
Hopefully this time around the leaked info has a little more credibility than Chris Mortensen’s previous “reporting.”
Get over yourself Goodell...
Are you crying? There’s no crying in football.
I think futher examination of all of this is unnecessary.
Outside of New England, the Patriots are the Cheatriots.
Just like outside of Baltimore, Ray Lewis is a murderer.
And nothing will change either of those 2 things.
Brush guy, LOL.
(was there anything in the rules preventing that?)
“But thanks to Mark Henderson, stadium snowblower and convicted burglar, he plowed a perfect spot right where the Patriots were about to kick the game winning field goal. Coincidence? I dont think so. And guess what? The NFL didnt do anything about it.”
“If you dont cheat, you look like an idiot; if you cheat and dont get caught, you look like a hero; if you cheat and get caught, you look like a dope. Put me where I belong.”

PATRIOT JOCK SNIFFERS UNITE!!!! WE MUST DISCREDIT THIS STORY!!!
So you believe ESPN has manufactured this story? Do you think they asked Peyton Manning if they could make up a story about him and his fear of the Pat’s cheating ways?
Why not read the article and then take it apart part by part.... If you think you can.
I would bet that NFL leaked info to espn.
Lol, tell me where they got all these people, like Manning to comment?
No one would make up a story like this...:: no one and the WAPO wouldn’t print it without proper vetting. After all it isn’t a political story.
So the Pats cheat systematically. No news here.
The original article is much more critical of the NFL. This article cherry picks information from that. Still, it is ESPN.
Was it Chris Mortenson again?
You don’t have to be pro Patriot to believe ESPN reports rumors and innuendos as fact.
