Illegal taping, steroids, trimming cards, shilling auctions, what's the difference? None.

How about 3 out of 5 (and I'm being generous) of the offensive lineman clearly holding as Eli performed his Houdini act on the David Tyree catch?

Now, credit where credit is due, 2011 was a solid win by the NYG.

I find patriot fans very funny. They support their team and make excuses for everytime the patriots are caught cheating and just can't admit that they were caught.

We're still waiting to see your N54 posts regarding Pettite, Clemens, Arod, etc. cheating while the Yankees were winning WS titles. You must have posted something since this cheating stuff seems to bother you so much.

There's a huge difference. I've admitted that my team has had cheaters before. And currently I don't root for A-rod at all, I wish the Yankees released him.

There is no jealousy in facts. The Patriots are lame cheaters. That is a fact. They don't think they can win on their own, so they cheat. It happens at the top and trickles on down to the players. Pointing at some Giants who were suspended for PEDs and unsubstantiated rumors of listening in on teams once in 2001 has no direct relation or correlation to what the Patriots have always done and continue to do.

The fact that the Pats win, and win a lot, tells me they are a very good team with talent. This has become more of a head game now than anything else for NE.

Believe it or not, we never had a cookie jar.

Thanks for not getting upset with my smart-allec post. In our family I got blamed for taking the cookies, regardless of who had crumbs on their lips.

LOL, no problem

Funny story my friends and I are all NY Giants fans. I asked two of them (who are both rational and not extreme Patriots haters) what they thought about this. Both said "what is the big deal? They let some air out of a few footballs. Who cares?" which is pretty much what I've been saying. Then I asked my accountant who is also a Giants fan but hates the Patriots. He went nuts! Those cheaters.......". Well, I guess you get the point.

As I said earlier, the only people who seem to think this is a big deal are most likely Patriots or Brady haters or both. I'd prefer to start thinking about the new season and the big year I'm hoping from the Giants. If they deflate a few footballs on their way to another Super Bowl that's fine with me.
