Please, spare me the comments about “Spygate.” Belichick’s regular-season winning percentage after the “Spygate” game on Sept. 9, 2007, is better (.790) than it was before (.670). And don’t talk about the Patriots’ recent playoff record (5-5 stretching back to 2007). In that same time span, New England has played in two more Super Bowls – an amazing feat in a league filled with parity and rife with potential pitfalls.
