Okay so take away the 17 points they scored with the deflated balls and they still win 28-7. I agree the the cheating was dumb and unnecessary (it was the Colts... come on) but to say they should be stripped of their title is ridiculous and I'm not even a Patriots fan. In fact, I was 300% rooting for the Seahawks.
I just feel like it would make a point/statement against cheating and how NHF it the NFL is because while missing these games is bad for Brady it's still a pretty light sentencing overall and I doubt there are other teams who see this and think that missing the games isn't that big of a deal overall.
and I'm not bitter - I'm not even that big of a sports fan - but fair is fair. you cheat, you lose everything you gained by doing so.
