Did everyone forgot about Spygate?? Does anyone care about Deflategate?

Cheaters don’t get in their first year on the ballot.

Deflategate was bullshit, Spygate was legit, although the issue wasn't that they were taping, they were just taping from the wrong place. Plenty of teams have been caught doing that over the years and they didn't get the book thrown at them /shrug

Genuinely surprised to see people arguing deflategate over here. Thought everyone realized that was a kayfabe ratings grab.

[–] pachrist@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Not only was deflategate bs, the Pats won that game 45-7.

I think shrugging is the right response. He's a known cheater, he got caught, and it damaged his reputation a bit. Meh, good, that's normal. If you wanna be universally praised, probably better to play the game by the rules.

The only people clinging to the cheating allegations are the sore losers who need an excuse to make themselves feel better about being beaten, but at least plenty of his peers and former opponents have enough principle to call this for what it is.

I had forgotten about the spying. I did remember the deflate thing though.

I'm still waiting for the NFL report they promised us on whether footballs lose pressure in the cold…

This. This is the reason some of the voters didn't vote him in. As much as the Pats and their fans and the media have white-washed the cheatings some still remember what Bill did to get those wins.

‌ So after they got "caught" and they proceeded to destroy the league the entire season, did the teams forget to check for cameras, since it's the only way they got those wins?
