Patriots owner Robert Kraft once called coach Bill Belichick “a real schmuck” for engineering the infamous Spygate stunt.
Kraft supposedly got ripped at Belichick because the answer was “1” when the coach was asked, on a scale of 1-100, how much those cameras helped the Pats. And I’m guessing that, on a scale of 1-100, Brady would have to answer “1” if asked to explain how much those deflated footballs helped him shred opposing defenses.
That’s where we need to begin, Patriots fans: This was colossally dumb. It was unnecessary. Talk all you want about the vagueness and inconsistencies of the Wells Report if it’ll make you feel better today as your old college buddies from New York gleefully text you and call the office.
