Bill Simmons rants on Twitter about the latest allegations of cheating from the New England Patriots.
ESPN released a scathing report of the New England Patriots and the depths of their cheating during the Spygate-era. Noted New England and Boston fan Bill Simmons took to Twitter to reveal his thoughts.
Now that Simmons isn’t with ESPN he doesn’t have to worry about the repercussions of his comments.
And as expected, Simmons was very pro-Patriots.
Finished OTL piece. Agree w/ theory that Goodell's DeflateGate botching was a crazed overreaction to his bizarre Spygate performance. But...

Not sure what to make of the sour grapes stuff. Sure seems like everyone who ever lost to 2001-07 Pats now has a built-in excuse for failure

Also doesn't explain the Patriots' ongoing success from game 2 2007 through SB 49 which mirrored their success from 2001 thru game 1 2007.

I'm just happy the 2001 Steelers can blame stolen signals for losing and not their special teams breakdown or Kordell shitting the bed.

And I'm happy for Rams - who scored a TD on their only SB36 red zone appearance but can now blame the Pats for stealing red zone signals.

And I'm happy for the Eagles - who fell apart down stretch in SB39 like they did in 20 other McNabb/Reid games but now have a good excuse.

And I'm happy for the Colts - who kept blowing big games to NE until Polian got the NFL to change the passing rules, but now have an excuse.

And I'm happy for Carolina - went 14-18 in the seasons before & after SB38, heavy underdogs in 03 playoffs, but somehow robbed of a title.

Dammit. I've run out of ways to defend the Pats. I'm out of ammo! Somebody send me more bullets!
