There will be an unwelcome guest at New England Patriots practice on Thursday morning and it might just deflate the defending Super Bowl champions on their first day of training camp. Metro New York has learned that a plane will fly over practice with a banner message reading ‘Cheaters Look Up! @JetsFanMedia’ – words clearly targeted at the Patriots organization in light of the recently under-inflated football scandal from last year’s playoffs.

The message, which includes the Twitter handle for the group’s new website of NYJetsFans.com, is aimed specifically at a Patriots organization whose run of success is now tarnished slightly by the recent ‘Deflategate’ scandal. It is a moment of pure joy and glee for Jets fans who have watched their rivals to the north be the dominant team of the division for the past decade.
