There's no question now who won this two year debacle.

Brady and the Patriots win their 5th Superbowl in the improbable and amazing fashion.

After a 4 game suspension of Brady by Goodell (in which the Patriots still went 3-1)

After winning a Superbowl that could easily be called "The best Superbowl ever"
the Patriots were able to show just why they were a great team, a great dynasty led by the greatest QB ever and the best coach ever. Almost without contest.

And while the fans were allowed to roar a long resounding boo of Goodell last night

Brady, Belichick and even Kraft were still mostly able to stay classy and take the high road in victory.

All in all, a wonderful day.. :D

Winning the Superbowl proves nothing about deflategate. What it does prove is that the Patriots shouldn't need to cheat, yet seemingly can't help themselves. Belichick always looking for that additional edge, legal or not. Even in the game, he had Shea jumping the center from a slight angle on a kick attempt to try to skirt the rule about being on the line of scrimmage over the center; refs didn't buy it though. Pushing the rules to the limit (or beyond).

Refs got that call wrong.

Can't be at the line of scrimmage over the center at the snap of a kick try. They got it right. Doesn't have to be offsides to be a penalty.
He wasn't at the line of scrimmage over the center.

The league/Steelers/Colts will come out with another "Gate" to try to slow done the train. Hold tight

maybe next year goodell will try to force Brady to play preseason games, schedule sunday night or monday night games followed by a thursday.

If you caught the audio on sportscenter, they played the sound that was actually in the stadium, nobody could hear anything goodell said in the stadium. They had the audio from that mic on the telecast.

Not that I expect a football fan to ever be classy, but the classy thing to do would be to say nothing about the deflating of the footballs. Now the only thing you have done is to remind the Patriot's enemies and opponents about an incident which they may have cheated. Even if in your mind the cheating never happened, that is how they are thinking and instead of dropping it, you just linked it to the championship.

Congratulations, however to the Patriots and their fans. It does seem to me that they earned this title the correct way. It was an incredible game in which the players played hard and made all of the miracle catches and sacks at the right time. No doubt that Brady goes down now in the hall of fame as the greatest of all time and it's a title he has earned

They've earned them all the correct way.

That is possible, but the lack of evidence in court is not proof that they did that. It just means there wasn't enough evidence to make the case. People still have the right to their opinions and many still always hold their opinion that the Patriot's cheated. You can't change that opinion.

That left leg is over the center.
That's not against the rules. You can't line up over the center, you can jump over him as long as you don't touch him.

Of course they have a right to their opinions. And I'll have the right to mock opinions that I think are stupid.

That's not against the rules. You can't line up over the center, you can jump over him as long as you don't touch him.

Logic follows that if he partially jumps over the center, then he jumped from being partially lined up over the center. Back that film up a few millisecs.

There was nothing wrong or out of line with Kraft's little speech up on the podium. Anyone who says there was is reaching.

Love the way he grabbed the trophy from Goodell and no hugs or comments KRAFT!!!!
