The Patriots are sanctimonious, arrogant, and "obstructionists."
Tom Brady is a lying cheater.
Bob Kraft is an insane whiner.
That's The CHB's column today in a nutshell.
So Tom Brady is now a wicked person, in the vein of other evildoers like Manny Ramirez, Nomar Garciaparra and Theo Epstein. Obviously whatever the worst offense you ever committed in your life is who you are. (What does that say about (Son of) Sam Shaughnessy, who got drunk and was busted for assaulting a cop?)
We needn't loo far in the Shank canon for instruction. Here's what The CHB wrote on Bill Parcell's induction to the Hall of Fame in August 2013:
He is renowned as the great, almighty Tuna, the quintessential Jersey guy who engaged reporters and insisted, “You are what your record says you are.’’ ... Parcells is the man who rescued the Patriots from irrelevance and maybe from a move to St. Louis. More than Bob Kraft, Tom Brady or Bill Belichick, Parcells is the man who changed the culture of football in Foxborough.
If Parcells is a local hero, and responsible for the Patriots culture, then isn't Parcells to blame? And if you are what your record says you are, well, doesn't that mean Patriots are Super Bowl champions?
Ever since their second Super Bowl loss to the Giants, The CHB has been writing some variation of the theme that the Patriots are done. This past year scuttled that pseudo franchise-in-the-making. Shank may be saying a hard rain's gonna fall (wicked bad cliche alert!), but it says The CHB is, once again, all wet.

Not only that, but the Wells Report leaves itself with a lot of wiggle room ('more likely than not', etc.) concerning whether Brady ordered / directed the deflating of the balls.
At this point I'm hoping Brady gets a fine & no suspension just to watch the red jheri curls ignite in red hot flames.
Brady got suspended but will win the appeal as Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson did - which naturally won't sit well with Shank's cherished conceit about the Patriots.
