Just as New England Patriots fans, players and staff alike were starting to come down from the euphoria of superstar quarterback Tom Brady's resounding defeat of his "Deflategate" suspension, the organization was once again forced to defend itself and its dynastic success in the face of a lengthy ESPN report released Tuesday.
The 11,500-word article entitled "Spygate to Deflategate: Inside what split the NFL and Patriots apart" alleges that head coach Bill Belichick and the Patriots engaged not only in the taping of opponents' defensive signals – the 2007 "Spygate" controversy – but also in the real-time dissemination of that stolen information to their quarterbacks and other damning improprieties.
Like Gov. Charlie Baker, Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito doesn't appear anxious to get involved in presidential politics. Polito said Tuesday that endorsing a Republican candidate for president is not a priority.
