For the uninformed, Kraft got busted a few years back in an undercover sting getting a rub and tug at an Asian massage parlor. Shockingly (/s) he skated with a slap on the wrist because his high-priced lawyer got him off on a technicality instead of doing time being charged with felony solicitation of prostitution and facing fines, probation, and possibly jail time like any normal person would.

During the Tom Brady roast one of the roasters brought this up and Tom immediately shut it down on stage. Super awkward....

Brady is a cheater too. Think he learned that stuff from his college days.

Brady won his first Super Bowl because he cheated against the Raiders in 2002. They even wrote a rule so it couldn't happen again.

That wasn't cheating though

Brady himself has admitted it was a fumble.

Per the rules at the time it was the correct call. The Jets actually had the same call go in their favor against the Pats earlier in the season. Super lucky but that's not cheating. Even if it was a bad call by the Refs thats still not cheating

In tennis and other sports where cheaters are seen as the crappy humans they are, it is not uncommon for players to correct refs on bad calls that were in their favor.

That's very true. Still the correct call though

From the ref, yes. But the player actually said out loud it "might have been a fumble" which is an absolute admission of guilt from a known narcissist.

No it's not. He thought he might have beena fumble but owe the rule it wasn't. Which means it literally wasn't a fumble at the time. This is the dumbest argument expecting players to tell Refs how to officiate games.

A dumb argument is denying facts on a 24 year-old event.
