Having read the article, it just comes across as excuses to why teams lost to the Pats who have been better post Spygate. The same people mad at this think nothing of the numerous other ways NFL teams stretch the rules like the Dolphins literally recording the Pats voices. Basically this allows people who hate the Patriots to have an excuse. All pro Bledsoe went 5 and 13 with the same supposed help. This was a convenient hit piece. The Panthers were literally on steroids but you are mad at the Pats. Jimmy said Cowboys did the same thing but you are mad at the Pats. Cowher says Steelers did the same thing but with binoculars but you're mad at the Pats. I can go on and on. John Madden said teams have done this since 92 but you're mad at the Pats. Stop bytching. 90 anonymous sources in an EPSN hit piece after the NFL loses to make it seem like Roger was fighting the good fight. Duck out of here. I cannot wait for the Bellichek book when he retires.

:what: this nikka man

You give Manning brees and rodgers the play the defense is bout to run and they would never lose a game. Tom bradys career is one big accident his defenses knew what the other team was gonna run and he knew what defense the opponent was in. He was a 6th round pick for a reason. The patriots are frauds and closing yours eyes ain't gonna remove those astericks.

Official Patriots response. My apologies if this was listed earlier.

In the wake of a massive ESPN report from Tuesday regarding possible connections between Spygate and Deflategate, the Patriots issued the following statement:

“The New England Patriots have never filmed or recorded another team’s practice or walkthrough. The first time we ever heard of such an accusation came in 2008, the day before Super Bowl XLII, when the Boston Herald reported an allegation from a disgruntled former employee. That report created a media firestorm that extended globally and was discussed incessantly for months. It took four months before that newspaper retracted its story and offered the team a front and back page apology for the damage done. Clearly, the damage has been irreparable. As recently as last month, over seven years after the retraction and apology was issued, ESPN issued the following apology to the Patriots for continuing to perpetuate the myth: ‘On two occasions in recent weeks, SportsCenter incorrectly cited a 2002 report regarding the New England Patriots and Super Bowl XXXVI. That story was found to be false, and should not have been part of our reporting. We apologize to the Patriots organization.

“This type of reporting over the past seven years has led to additional unfounded, unwarranted and, quite frankly, unbelievable allegations by former players, coaches and executives. None of which have ever been substantiated, but many of which continue to be propagated. The New England Patriots are led by an owner whose well-documented efforts on league-wide initiatives — from TV contracts to preventing a work stoppage — have earned him the reputation as one of the best in the NFL. For the past 16 years, the Patriots have been led by one of the league’s all-time greatest coaches and one of its all-time greatest quarterbacks. It is disappointing that some choose to believe in myths, conjecture and rumors rather than giving credit for the team’s successes to Coach Belichick, his staff and the players for their hard work, attention to detail, methodical weekly preparation, diligence and overall performance.”

What other teams did isn't a proper defense. Other teams didn't have mounts of evidence destroyed..or were caught on multiple occasions.

After reading the entire long ass article I dont think Goodell leaked this. The part about him making Mike Martz go along with the spygate shyt makes Goodell look even more shifty
