2. Those are the facts, unfortunately they don't IN ANY WAY prove the Pat's were culpable.
3. This proves nothing other than the Patriots do a better job of holding on to the ball. The argument that "The Pats are SOOOOOO much better at hanging on to the ball that they MUST ber cheating is illogical. Sorry. SOMEONE has to be the best. How being the best proves one MUST be cheating is beyond me...
Really, what you're arguing is that if someone has been guilty of a previous transgression (and we haven't admitted that anyway), then if they're accused of ANOTHER transgression, they MUST be guilty.
Gee, if only American jurisprudence could adopt this attitude, you could save a fortune on court costs.
We could call it the "One strike and you're out forever" law...
