The Patriots (including Brady) are lying, cheating dogs!  Great football team - HoF coach, HoF QB, and deserving Super Bowl winners. 

But that doesn't alter the fact that they cheat.  Maybe not in some grand manner - like PEDs - but for whatever reason, the Pats feel the need to play beyond the rules.  Spygate, deflated balls (which, btw, could have been going on a LOT longer than we know about), and who knows what else.

Mind-boggling from this angle.  Is the drive to win (regardless of the rules) that consuming?  Is there some insecurity that "we can't win unless we do _____"?  Again, hard to understand the psychology at work.
