The best to ever do it

but more importantly retired by my good friend, Matt Stafford.

Can't imagine why he wouldn't mention the organization that wasted the twilight of his career by surrounding him with 3rd stringers and benching Butler in the SB because he had a fight with the coach's drugged out son

I don't follow American football but wasn't there a whole thing years ago where he was caught cheating deflating balls or something? I'm surprised that didn't gut his 'GOAT' reputation or hit his career harder. Maybe it's just commonplace in the sport I guess.

Thats one of those cases of minor cheating that everyone secretly does (all pro sports really, not just football). It was an embarrassment because he got caught, but not the kind of thing that would really do anything to his legacy.

It was never proven I think that he did but it was shown to be much more likely than not. And it just depends on who you ask. There will be some who hate tom no matter what and some who defend him no matter what.

The circumstances of that specifically though, I think part of it is because the game was a blowout, and fans love to pile on whiners. So when colts/other fans go "HE DEFLATED BALLS" everyone else just goes "Lol that wasn't gonna help you win." Also other QBs at the time readily admitted they like to push the boundaries of what is allowed because they like their balls a certain firmness. So I personally think just the confluence of factors makes it a collective shoulder shrug.

That explains so much.

Also Brady won three Super Bowls after the Deflategate "scandal" so I don't really count it as some black mark against him.

I'm not aware of this ever happening, just certain QBs like Rodgers saying he liked his to be as inflated as possible (which is not the same as saying you want your equipment guy to abscond with the game balls disappearing inside a bathroom to inflate them beyond the legal limit). As with every cheating scandal New England has found themselves in, Pats fans then twist what happened to pretend that "everyone was doing it" even when their opponents weren't.

I don't heavily blame them so much though because the league is incredibly inconsistent about actually enforcing their rules, so I can see why they figured they could get around some of them without much fuss.

Like for example, it used to be a rule (or at least supposedly was) before they changed it that offensive players couldn't carry the ball carrier forward, but every season o-linemen would push their guy forward for extra yardage, and I have never once seen that called.

Mike Tomlin once came off the sideline to trip Jacoby Jones on a return to stop him from scoring a TD, and by rule, the refs should have awarded Baltimore a touchdown, but they didn't.

Point being while it doesn't absolve the perpetrator, it is fair to question how much of a rule something really is when it isn't being enforced, and that's entirely on the NFL for muddying the waters in the first place.

For the longest time I was a Brady-hater, ngl. But it was that NE/ATL Superbowl that made me realize how great he was, and ever since then I thought he was def. the GOAT.

That Super Bowl was all about Atlanta imploding. Brady gets far too much credit for that comeback.

I mean Brady still had to take advantage of the mistakes they made

it's not like those mistakes automatically turned into 25 points in 20 minutes of game time

This was never proven but it was proven that the deflation of the balls was consistent with the ideal gas law
