I don't care about being loved. We stopped being loved after winning in 03. What I care about is being respected. And for our accomplishments to be respected. That respect seriously waned after Spygate, slowly recovered over the following years, and then got obliterated because of the bulls.hit that is the Wells report. That's what bothers me. The clear lack of respect.

Any team that is on top this long is going to take shots. BB should have known better about spygate but he's been careful since not to give anyone a reason to take shots at the team since then. I guess the moral is if they can't find anything they'll just make something up to knock you down a peg.
