Sorry, long-time lurker, not sure why today is the day I feel like posting, but somebody has to tell you: your sister has most likely married an idiot.
Spygate was overblown. The principal took a student to task for breaking a rule he told him not to. It wasn't about competitive advantage, it was about respecting authority. Belichick didn't respect Goodell since from an early stage he realized what we all do now - that Goodell is some knuckle dragger in a position he's not qualified for. It's not cheating to steal signs that are signaled in front of 70,000 people - by all accounts it's part of the game. And there wasn't the technology to process video fast enough back then for the Patriots to use the stuff in-game, anyway (it was all digital tape, clumsily processed, at best, in real-time).
In terms of deflate-gate, the gas laws have been known for about 150 years. Unfortunately, the Patriots crossed the wrong people who were unaware of the immutable laws of nature, and got wrapped up in a controversy about nothing.
Next holiday season, you should buy your brother-in-law Thermodynamics for Dummies and a Patriots hat.
