The reason former Patriots keep their mouths shut is that if they say anything about the cheating it then lessens their own accomplishments. It also ruins relationships in the good old boy club. At the end of the day, it's just a game not life and death they say to comfort themselves.
Titles are the thing nobody can take away.
Someone will come along and break any career or single season stat record while you're retired and sitting on the couch.
But if you win a title nothing anyone or any team does in the future can take that away.
So it's zipped lips in NE. Belichicks former assistants seem to beat NE at s 50% rate, which tells me they are on to the tricks and know how to negate them.
Also, I'll add that those who benefit from the cheating know that people bringing it up just sounds like sour grapes eventually.
The trophies are in the case.
