The debate isn't really over who is the best, it is about who was or was not given a fair chance to prove that they were the best.



As a humble New Yorker, I'm glad to see people still sour that they lost to us in two superbowls
Again my retort will always be NEVER go over 78" height or 120lbs weight it's in the rules. Teams had a lot of other leeway (unprecedented). I know the situation based on multiple second hand accounts that High Rollers was over 78" at the time by more than one judge, had the judges not caught it they would have exceeded 78" which is a not allowed. "Them's the rules."
