The worst part of Brady going down is that it doesn't allow the cheating comments to fade away. If the Pats won a bunch of games again this season, there wouldn't be cheating stigma over it as every NFL team had ample warning to change their signals. Now, if they win without Brady, it will just arouse more suspicion and if they lose games, well it doesn't prove anything because Brady was out.
All the videotapes were turned in between week 1 and 2 last year, so it should have already went away.
I know it hasn't. It never will. It's just something people use to justify their hatred towards the Patriots.
