Yep. I've stated numerous times that Brady is an HoF player, BB is a HoF coach, and that the Patriots are the best team of the last quarter century. HOWEVER, due to the confirmed cheating scandals, they will never be "the greatest of all time." If I found out the '72 Dolphins cheated their way to the perfect season, I would probably never mention that perfect season again.
Because unlike many other people, integrity is important to you, while being a sycophant to "winners" is all that matters.
I completely agree with this. Even though I believe it's been going on forever without the public knowing. However once it gets brought out in public and you're investigated because you continued after being told to stop discretely, then there's not much of a defense left. The grey area's are always going to be exploited and always have been. I don't have an issue with that really, but once you're told you're actually violating the rule by the governing body, and you continue... you've done something more than wrong and deserve that tarnished reputation.
