I think his outrage over being so unfairly treated was the major source of his drive to win the Lombardi trophy that year.
As for the other 'gate yeah the Patriots did violate a newly created rule, or more accurately did not stop doing what had up to then been legal before the league banned the practice, and they paid a steep price for it given it's relatively minor nature.
But just note that neither incident, which happened btw years apart, had any effect on their ability to continue winning. That's one fact that you can't deny.

By the way, Dave. I like how when Tom Brady was in New England, he was the greatest thing in the world since sliced bread, according to you. Now that he has been pushed out of New England and went to another team, he is and I quote you, ( although he is now dead to me ).
Well, I'm sure Tom Brady couldn't care less what you think of him, Dave. He will be playing in his 10th Superbowl while you will be sitting in front of your TV watching him play in the Superbowl while eating your Mars bar.
Edit.
