I respect Belichick and Brady for being the best at what they do respectively.
What makes my skin crawl regarding the Patriots is the relentless pursuit of an edge they try to find in order to win, with little to no regard of the ethics/rules of the game. I liken the Patriots to scum defense lawyers who are one step ahead of the law in terms of finding loopholes in the letter of the law. In other words, if you don't get caught, it is not cheating. From videotaping walk throughs, to headsets of opponents failing at crucial junctures of games, to accussations of bugging dressing rooms, to signing recently cut players of upcoming opponents for intel, to deflating balls - it is all ****ing tiresome. Part of why their bullshit has been tolerated is because Kraft has a lot of clout and essentially championed not only the tv deal, but brokered the impasse between owners/players during the last CBA negotiations.
