FOXBORO, Mass. — Someone paid good money to fly a banner that no one seems to understand over Gillette Stadium.
Two hours before the New England Patriots played the New York Jets on Sunday, a plane flew over the stadium carrying a banner that read “CLINTONS – PATRIOTS – OJ!”
Yeah, this banner flying over Gillette Stadium said "CLINTONS – PATRIOTS – OJ." Don't get it. pic.twitter.com/kz55hCU2gh

Perhaps it was some intrepid Jets fans who thinks all three parties got away with … something? It seems rather odd to compare a cheating scandal involving deflated footballs to murder, but taste usually goes by the wayside when it comes to fan interaction in NFL rivalries.
Perhaps someone should remind New Yorkers that a Jets cheating scandal actually helped Patriots quarterback Tom Brady get off in Deflategate. The Patriots also don’t have a first-round draft pick next year, a fourth-round pick in 2017 and $1 million because of Deflategate, so they didn’t really get away with anything.
