Nice try deflecting.

Deflecting, explaining, same difference to some. Especially when it's something they don't like to hear.

But let's not get into it, you and I have better things to do than muddy up the tank.

Nope we’ll go with deflecting.

We have spygate, deflategate, that tuck rule cheat. Seattle throwing that 1. Paying Atlanta off at halftime.

And of course. The Saints were gonna crush them.

We should really call it 5.5*

Yes, that first one was really really bad , can’t believe they messed up a perfect season.

That is painful, for sure.

I wonder if Belichick ever thinks of it like "Well, I won the NY Giants four Super Bowls, and the New England Patriots 6..."
