Spygate was a little over the top. Trying to figure out what plays the other team is calling throughout the course of a game is gamesmanship.
Recording it and using it to do the same thing is pushing beyond gamesmanship. The other team doesn't have video to watch.
Deflategate however was total
.
This was brought about by a news reporter from Indianapolis, also a Colts fan.
Brady's stats were actually perfect in the second half when the balls were given the air. I believe he went 9 for 9.
If these balls were so "soft", the officials touch the balls on EVERY down, and could have stopped to check right away, had they believed they were deflated.
Take away all the points the PATS scored in the first half, and they still win this game easily.
Their defense pounded the Colts offense the entire game.
3 of the Colts balls were also found to be low.
It was cold, the balls contracted, and lost some pressure.
To believe that LT was only great because of cocaine is ridiculous.
Cocaine doesn't make someone that's not athletic, into a super-athletic person.
He did do this off and on for many years in his private life.
I'm not trying to defend that it's a good thing to do, because it obviously is not, but to say that cocaine made him into a great athlete, is like saying Tiger Woods was only great because he had 13 women besides his wife, with whom he could sleep with. Ridiculous.
LT is the greatest defensive player to ever have played the game. Without cocaine in his system, he produced the best season in the history of the NFL by a defensive player.
