Here he is the face of evil. Or is he?  I don't think he is. Who among us would not do what he's done?

You would not take a competitive advantage? You would not do what you needed to do to get ahead in your industry?

Football is a performance based business and this is the highest level. You gotta do what you gotta do.

The facts are he cheated, but whatever he did with the balls did not win those games ... Tom and his teammates did. He is also not the only one doing this stuff, but the Patriots are paying for past sins and they should.

They have not only cheated multiple times, but have been caught multiple times. If the league lays down and does not address it in a stern manner they look weak again in a stretch run of two years where they have made terrible judgements on a bunch of different issues with players.

All I know is I cannot hate this guy for him playing for a New England team, cheating, wearing Uggz, being married to a supermodel or dressing like Adam Levine at the Kentucky Derby. He's an Alpha Dog and Alpha Dog's do what they wanna do ... you have to respect that.
