You bring up Spygate, but that event alone helped catapult the Patriots to their success. Rams beat the Patriots earlier that year at Foxboro and were 14 point favorites over them, thus making it that much more believable in the information that the assistant coach filmed the Rams' practice. I recall Brady's wife making the comment after their Super Bowl loss to the Giants about how they should have won the game if the receivers only caught the passes her husband threw at them, thus making me can't stand Giselle. Brady getting on a news network and cry about how he thought life was more than what he had already and Gronk and the team drinking beer and getting drunk while playing with some stripper's breasts on a float, let alone the many fights that broke out during the same celebration just boggles my mind. My word what would have happened if they would have lost?
The Super Bowl game was a home game for the Patriots because of their fan base and the Rams fanbase not caring enough to travel to Atlanta to support their team, but it was really evident when the loud horn was blasted out every time the Rams had the ball on third down conversions. I thought the Rams were suppose to be the home team in that game.
