Oh I know and understand that one. It just seems like the Patriots are a team that does everything right as an organization and leadership. They actually remind me of Apple and the simalarities go beyond being the best... The are equipped with the same "gate" stupidity. SpyGate versus AntennaGate and DeflateGate versus BendGate. It's ridiculous. The better you are, the more you are hated. :)

Well that is largely b.c those things did happen. NE did spy on teams sidelines with cameras and they did deflate footballs. Those things will make it pretty hard to be respected by others in the league.
 
38mm sport and MacBook :)
I went from the SS to the sport (lighter and easier to see outdoors. Plus I only use the sport bands).

I'd call that Rose gold accents at best. No where near as obvious as the AW. Your watch is 85% black..

Actually, it's quite the opposite. It's 15% black, only the bezel is black. Rest of the watch body is rose gold. The whole back of the watch body is rose gold. That's what drew me to the watch.

This is the problem with media, how it reports things, and how the public takes it as fact. All you have to do is actually READ the facts instead of the headlines to realize you are wrong. Sure NE did spy on teams sidelines with cameras by taping defensive signals, and got penalized for that in 2007. But to say their achievements from 2001-2004 were tainted due to cheating is factually incorrect. Taping defensive signals up until 2007 was not against the rules, and many coaches admitted this was legally normal procedures by their teams from the 1980s until 2007. In fact you can still do it in 2007, but not from the sidelines. So it's was actually Filming from the wrong area-gate not Spygate.

As far as Deflategate, a person either hates the Pats or just cant read or comprehend what they read if they actually believed the Pats deflated footballs. The NFL's lawyers admitted in COURT in front of a JUDGE, that they had no PROOF that the Pats deflated any footballs. It is also stated as such in the incredibly poor Wells Report, any person who read that report knew it would never stand up in a court of law. The report is basically 5 million dollar toilet paper. Such a joke. By the way, 3 of the 4 Colt's footballs were under the legal pounds per square inch (also buried in the Wells Report), yet instead of measuring the remaining 8 footballs, they stopped.Know what deflated those footballs ? The same thing that deflates your tires. It's called the Ideal Gas Law. Weather effects footballs. It deflated the Patriot's footballs, and it deflated the Colt's footballs.

People need to read actual facts before spewing nonsense like "the Patriots deflated footballs".

So a few things. I never said their achievements were hinged on those things. You do realize to be guilty in the court of law you are innocent until proven guilty. That does not mean they did not deflate footballs, it just means there was no evidence proving it was intentionally done. I am sure Tom Brady did not say, "hey, illegally deflate these." I would put money on the fact he knew they were "suspect" though.
 
Anyone using the antique white sport band can share?
Wanna buy the gold sport watch but not sure the band would still look good over time
