How is beating your girlfriend or kid cheating? That's just being a butthole.

The Pat's in this one.

It's more the timing of everything. Happened in the social media age. Got busted in the AFCCG which meant the entire lead up to the SB was about one of the teams cheating to get there.

Is there actions the worst? No. But the timing and the fact that they are a tainted organization in regards to cheating already makes it by far and away the biggest story of any of those that deals with football.

Just humor him, Francis.

Yeah, that changes everything, Rock.
they refused to turn evidence over after the towel was seen on video all stained up and being rubbed on WR hands. the refs caught them in game, not after.

they refused to cooperate. who was suspended for that? rivers?

Scandals are always magnified if the team caught cheating wins the championship that year. Deflategate should be the #1 scandal

Bingo

As Black said

How would Pats fans be responding if Eli was found to have deflated balls after beating them twice?

How did the Bounty Scandal not make it here? I thought that was worse than any of these. Paying players to specifically hurt other players damages the game more than the slight advantage the Patriots got from deflating footballs. Everyone is quick to say DeflateGate is the worst because it is the most recent, but really, would you rather have doctored footballs or injured players?
