“He Shouldn’t Get a Pass”: Tom Brady’s Future HoF Honor Questioned After Getting Branded a “Cheat”

Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback to ever play the game. And he will surely be a part of the Pro Football Hall of Fame when he is eligible. But not everybody who follows the sport thinks the same about the legend. Some question all his antics on the football field to get competitive advantage.

A sports anchor questioned Brady’s future Hall of Honor. And not only that, but he also branded the QB as “a cheat.”

FS1 anchor Rob Parker thinks Tom Brady cheated in his career. And he wants the fans to remember that when they evaluate the legendary QB’s career.

“Make sure that when you’re reciting the good stuff Tom Brady did, make sure you include the other stuff that was in the mix because we do it for everybody else and he shouldn’t get a pass. He shouldn’t get a pass because ultimately, he did cheat. His team cheated and Tom Brady cheated,” Parker said on his show ‘The Odd Couple’.

He then hit the nail on the head by saying that if he voted for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Brady wouldn’t get the honor.

“If I’m a voter for the Pro Football Hall of Fame I would not vote Tom Brady into the Hall of Fame. I would NOT because of the steps and the things he did to get a competitive advantage over other people,” Parker added.

Brady courted controversy many times in his career. But nothing ever came close to the Deflategate scandal. 

The Deflategate scandal 

The Deflategate scandal hit the NFL during the 2014 AFC title game. Tom Brady’s New England Patriots took on the Indianapolis Colts. The Patriots ran away with a 45-7 scoreline. But at halftime, at least 13 balls used in the game were checked and were found to be deflated.

After a lengthy legal battle, the NFL changed a few rules around balls in the league and banned Brady for four games. The league also fined the Patriots $1 million and two draft picks in the next draft. Both the Patriots and Brady have denied the allegations.

Brady and the Patriots won the subsequent Super Bowl and continued their legacy as the greatest football dynasty. But the Deflategate remains as a blot on that history. Now that Brady is retired from the league, the ghosts have come back to haunt him. Does the world need to move on from the incident?
