Belichick and Brady's legacy forever tarnished?

[Money]

Belichick? Tarnished.

Brady? Ruined forever.

I eagerly await Brady's interview with Oprah.

This story is so old and it doesn't really matter. 1) they killed them 2) they scored more points in the 2nd half, 3) they beat seattle with out deflated balls.

WHO GIVES A ****

Meh...

 

[Rex Racer]

Belichick? Greatest coach since Vince Lombardi.

Brady? Firmly ensconced on the Mount Rushmore of NFL QB greats.

Yup, it's been a pleasure to watch.

Would a kill the Lions to let a couple lbs of air of a football once in a while? 0 playoff wins in 50 years. It's worth it.

While the outcome of the AFCCG would've likely not changed, I think it's fair to say that the reputation of Belichick and Brady's legacy will be forever tarnished in the eyes of the majority of NFL fans. Sorry Pats fans....no amount of tears you use to defend your cheating franchise will change the opinions of anyone. This so-called "4th ring" Brady needs to become the GOAT is irrelevant now. This will ALWAYS hang over his head, just like Manning and his one-n-dones, in the GOAT discussion.

I think we can say more probable than not that they likely won't be unanimous 1st year HOFers...

I think their play and accomplishments will still speak more then these events.

Jerry Rice admitted using stickum and most fans still consider him the greatest receiver ever i doubt this hurts Toms legacy much in the end.

When you talk about the dynasties of the Steelers, Niners, and Cowboys these type of things do not come up. Sorry that your team has forever marred it's legacy. That is the sad part about it. All of the Patriot fans that have supported there team over the years are the true loser's here!!! Because from now on for many years to come every time that a Patriot fan brings up how great there team was there will always be someone to remind them that they CHEATED.

@Manning2Luck_uJelly sure called this one! Though "tarnished " is an extreme understatement.

 

[GenJac]

C'MON PEOPLE! The odds that Brady knew about or ordered those deflated balls equals the chance that Chip Kelly would get rid of Djax, Foles, McCoy, Maclin and Cole. Sheeesh.

Systematic, team sanctioned and supplied steriod abuse

Multiple rules violations

Safe houses where the players could bang hookers and snort up half of Peru.

 

[TxHeat]

I'd say so!

of course you would. no surprise there.

 

[purguy12]

To be honest I don't think this is a big deal but I do think Brady hurt his chances of being best QB of all Time. This will knock him down a little. I mean I have #2 but it wouldnt shock me if he fell to #3 or #4 now because of this.

 

[GenJac]

Brady definitely doesn't deserve to be in the NFL HOF. It really sucks too because I always enjoyed watching him play. I guess it now makes sense why the Patriots fumble rate was SIGNIFICANTLY lower than the NFL average. It's sad because the integrity of the game has been questioned. I hope the NFL takes appropriate action to save this sport.

You think they should dump the pathetic Eagles franchise???

Not sure if would save the sport, but it would be a solid start.

Blount may have fumbled 4 times with properly inflated balls.

Interesting thought.

LaGarrett Blount fumbles:

with New England (including Playoffs) - 1 fumble every 98.3 touches (3 in 295)
with Pittsburgh & Tampa Bay - 1 fumble every 51.8 touches. (10 in 518)

Food for thought.....
