CBS News "Epic Cheating Scandals"

It would be JUST great if we didn't reward these clowns by providing yet more clicks for their inane, agenda-ridden nonsense.

Please stop posting links to this stuff.

When will people learn?

Realistically, if all the active Pats fans clicked on it 10 times, that would probably not even register as .1% of their total clicks. Though, I tend to agree, the issue is more "them" than us. I guess we can only control our own actions.

Thanks CBS. It's difficult to punish most of the a-hole media outlets who have been crapping on the Patriots, CBS however is another story as they have CBS Scene at Patriots Place. I would encourage all Patriot fans to boycott it permanently.

If I knew Kraft's email address would forward it to him.. with the caption, "look at what your capitulation has wrought"..

It is a f..ing football, and the offense is no more than San Diego wiping down balls with stickum or Minnesota warming footballs..

Statistically there is no difference between Brady's stats on the road(the balls controlled by the other team) and his stats at home(balls controlled by the Pats)... it is an idiotic shytstorm that has gotten completely out of hand..

An neutral national writer needs to write a huge expose on all of this..

Good for business at CBS Scene...

It is only football, but football has an enormous following.

Some writer could be the next Woodward and Bernstein if he/she can get to the root of this.

Sorry Jon Tomasse, I mean anyone but you.

I'm surprised its not the patriots at 1 and 2. I mean sure the blacksox literally lost on purpose games for money, but playing with balls .34 psi under the expected level?

....and Shoeless Joe is still guilty in the eyes of MLB and denied entry into the HoF- even though he was proven innocent.

For that reason, Brady needs to fight. 100 years from now, if people think TB12 was guilty- even though he was innocent, it'll be 2nd biggest injustice in the history of professional sports.

So folks think Brady wimps out and lets this crap continue as infinitum?

I sent a respectful letter a few weeks ago. While expected, I never received a response. Annoying.

I hate this

Can someone please print this article out, take a ride to Patriot Place, and staple it onto Bob Kraft's forehead?

Agreed, and Sally Jenkins of the Washington Post wrote 2 great ones in a week. and, outside of NE, about the only reaction she received was from Goodell's office. She said near the start of her radio interview with D & H on WEEI on 5/22, the NFL informed her they weren't pleased with her first column. I'm not aware of any other national reaction. No one's interested in any effort which supports the Patriots.

yet CBS makes no mention of JFK stealing the 1960 election from richard nixon, which included registering of dead people.

That's rich coming from CBS Sports, ..CBS home of Dan Rather and the fake news story and the Lara Logan scandal re Benghazi. They ought to get their own house in order......
Oh and 1972 Olympic travesty ought to be #2 or #3 at least!!!!

To be fair, I don't believe this list is in any way a ranking. It's just a bunch of cheating and "cheating" scandals with sports over the past whatever years. The reason Deflategate is number 2 is because its still prominent in the national conscious since it happened so recently. It's not ranked at number 2, it's just the second listed. Now that IS meant to subtly imply that its a bigger deal than some others but not in a direct sense.

LMAO... down at #9, refs rigging games for financial gain... somewhere before that is a guy that made a bunch of unauthorized trades that cost clients in the billions of dollars, who did time in jail in singapore or somewhere... also below the horrible air pressure "scandal" is someone who took a cab for part of a marathon or something, and not 1 but 2 doping scandals... and of course the black sox...

Nobody who even knows what "deflategate" is could put it at #2 on the list.

Say it aint so Tommy ! ...................................4SB's !

it is a much bigger story than deflategate, regardless of political party.
