Even if he wins 4th ring, Brady’s no Montana

7. Spygate was bad.

But I don't think there was any evidence Belichick was doing that prior to 2005/2006, was there? Plus, let's be real, the only illegal part about spygate was taping and saving opponent's signals. You could simply hire someone to observe and write down signals, couldn't you? Granted, it did show Belichick was willing to ignore rules.

Now we have deflategate, which shows a blatant disregard for rules that directly affect gameplay and not just strategy. It's a much bigger issue.

Why did the Pats get so much better at preventing fumbles after 2006? Hadn't Belichick been benching fumblers the whole time? Why do players who have been Patriots suddenly start fumbling more when they play for other teams?
