Jets fans fly 'cheaters' banner over Patriots practice

We don't have to tell you that Jets fans are enjoying the deflating drama that's enveloped the Patriots this offseason.

The latest volley comes not from the Jets, but their fan base, specifically the Jets fan site NYJetsFans.com. On Thursday, the site sent a literal message: Flying a plane over Patriots practice with a banner that read, "CHEATERS LOOK UP!"

I heard one person suggest that Brady's punishment should be playing for the Jets for 1 year.
