No one's saying that Brady wasn't a damn good QB, but the deflated balls definitely helped him out (why would he have done it if it didn't). And Spygate absolutely helped the Cheats win Superbowl titles. What the league should have done back in '07 was suspended Belicheat for a year and informed the Cheats that if they were caught illegally video taping their opponents again then Belicheat would receive a lifetime ban and they would strip them of their 3 SBs. If they had done this then the Cheats in all likelihood wouldn't have gone back to cheating.
