As if I'm not jaded enough already

Win another one.

There is only one way for Bill Belichik and the New England Patriots to rescue their legacy now. First, they have to fess up, empty the carton of every trick they may have used in winning three Super Bowls, hang from the cross assuring it will never happen again.

Then, playing it clean, they have to play the same near-perfect style they've always played and get to the mountaintop once again.

How else is anyone supposed to believe the Patriots' three Super Bowls weren't the product of high-tech subtrefuge? Some may forever believe the reason quarterback Tom Brady always looked so cool and confident in the pocket was because he knew what was coming.

But if the Patriots clean the slate and win one, just one Super Bowl, with what they can place their hands on the Bible and swear is 100 percent on the up-and-up, the legacy is salvaged. Not perfect, mind you. Yet at least fans won't be able to claim the Patriots won Super Bowls because they cheated.

It merely helped.
