No goofy answers this time, sorry.

Plain and simple question: If the Rams had the same kinds of accusations against them, both in severity and frequency, of cheating as the Patriots do, but had a similar record to the Patriots, would you continue to support them?

Would I support them? Yes.
Would I like their actions? No.

Winning by cheating doesn't count.

Of course. Because the claims would seem so ridiculous and petty. We'd be like, if teams hate us, they should just beat us.

Nah, I don't have a double standard on this one. It would be embarrassing for me to be a fan of that.

Would I trade a all the little slaps on the wrist Goodell has given the pats for all the cheating in the past for several superbowl rings?? Yes! Yes I would.

I would think they suck at cheating since they haven't been able to win for 10 years.

Embrace it. Cheats never prosper apparently, what a load of bollocks that is.

F NO! I'd be calling for everyone's head. Cheating is wrong. Pure and simple. It doesn't change if your team is the one doing it. That's like saying you're okay with cheating on your wife but want to divorce her if she does it. Being the one gaining from cheating doesn't make it right. Anyone that says otherwise is a hypocrite.

If the Rams were to start cheating, I would hope they could cheat a little better than the often caught Patriots.

Nope. I've put up with enough BS from this team as we all have but I draw the line at cheating to win.

Well here's my take. I would always support the horns. Travesties of the current regime can't take away our past. However I would not excuse it. If another fan brought it up I would have no comeback...simply I would say yes, it sucks, and as a Rams fan I am disappointed by the horrendous actions. I don't think it would make the rings any less enjoyable though lol

I would not. Furthermore, I'm having a hard time supporting the NFL in general for its complicity.

For all those who would not support the franchise if they cheated, here's my question. Would you come back to the Horns if the cheating owner and coaches were outed and a new regime took their place?

I didn't stop supporting them once they hired someone proven to have cheated by paying his players to injure opponents, I see no reason I'd stop based on cheating by deflating balls.

Yes I would still support the Rams, but I also have no problem with any other team cheating, or accusations of cheating. All teams cheat in one way or another, some get caught, most don't, and some blow whistles. Only exception is the "bounty" scandal, that is unacceptable; but again the Saints were not the first and only team to use such methods.
