2. What's different about this? Seriously? The Pats didn't cut the course. They played the whole game. A better analogy might be a high school kid racing barefoot. It's illegal, but doesn't significantly change the outcome of the race.
No, the better running analogy is that we are all told that we will be racing 400 meters. We are all told that we can wear cross country spikes but not sprint spikes. Despite this someone wears sprint spikes. They beat us all by such a wide margin that we are all pretty sure they would have won no matter what spikes they wore.
So, next race is 800 meters, how many of us would wear sprint spikes now if there was no penalty imposed in the first race???
I think by now it has been confirmed that none of the so called deflated balls were used in the second half.
1st half score: 17-7
2nd half score: 45-7
supposedly cheating we have a 10 point lead, not cheating 28 zip.
Cheating is to break the rules to gain an unfair advantage, does it look like an unfair advantage to anyone here?
The better analogy here is this is:
this is a 400m run in 2 heats with cumulative times.
1st heat someone wears sprints spikes and wins by 3 secs. 2nd heat that same runner runs with cross country spikes (like everyone else) and wins again this time by 10 secs.
next race is 800m how many of us wants him to wear sprint spikes?
Even better, how many of us even want to try sprint spikes?
