Once is accident, twice is coincidence, but three times is a deliberately planned thing. Belichick is a bloody cheat, and he knows it.
Tampa Tribune:
"Cheating part of Belichick legacy as much as Super Bowl rings""Take a seat, Beli-cheat.
Turn in your hoodie. You’re watching this Super Bowl, not coaching it.
That’s what the NFL should tell Bill Belichick as DeflateGate joins SpyGate in the pantheon of Patriots dishonesty.
And don’t tell me you ran out of quarters at the air pump, though it happens to me all the time at the gas station, sometimes when I’m not even two tires in.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, as if he doesn’t have enough on his plate, as if he hasn’t dropped that plate time and time again, needs to get a grip on this, now.
You can’t keep the Patriots out of the Super Bowl against the Seahawks. That’s impractical. Besides, Richard Sherman already has inflated his Darrelle Revis quotes for media day.
But you nail Belichick, whose team has again thumbed its nose at this league by using under-inflated footballs in the AFC title game against the Colts. Don’t tell me he didn’t know. The guy knows everything. This was sheer arrogance.
You can dock the Pats a No. 1 pick, like after SpyGate. You can fine Belichick more than the half-million he was hit with back then.
Did that work last time?
You ban Brazen Bill from the Bowl.
You kick the Patriots commander in cheat off the sideline.
Let’s not be naïve. Belichick’s players knew. If you handed Tom Brady a football, in about 10 seconds he’d be able to tell you what the pressure was, to the square inch. Brady is on record as saying he likes throwing under-inflated footballs. DeflateGate is just another reason why the Patriots are now the most-hated team in America, even with Dimples at quarterback.
The really stupid part is New England didn’t need this to throttle the Colts. Brady could have been throwing completely deflated balls, or grapefruits, and the Patriots still win.
This just proves Belichick is pathological.
It doesn’t matter that other teams do it, that cheating is everywhere — the clam chowder Pats fans will be peddling.
Only their guys have been caught. And they’ve been caught before. They smell.
It’s a pattern. Cheating has become part of Belichick’s legacy, with those three Super Bowl wins..."
