Message: [QUOTE="bags27, post: 2565202, member: 6761"] good idea not letting the facts get in the way of what you want to believe. After all, Tenn fans still believe that Geno and UConn are cheats. :) But if you actually want the facts, instead of preferred beliefs, read 15 or so articles by Sally Jenkins of the [I]Washington Post[/I], who has no interest in the Patriots; or this, written by a Canadian who doesn't even root for a team in the NFL [URL='http://yourteamcheats.com/cheaters/']The NFL's Biggest Cheaters - Your Team Cheats - The Definitive Guide to NFL Cheating[/URL] And more specific data here: [URL='http://yourteamcheats.com/cheats/']The NFL's Biggest Cheats - Your Team Cheats - The Definitive Guide to NFL Cheating[/URL] including two teams whose Superbowl wins should be stripped (like the many winners of the Tour de France who were found to have taken drugs): the Broncos (2x) and the 49ers (once, I believe) faked their salary caps to retain players and after the fact were penalized for it--but too late to "replay" the game. Or don't you think it's "cheating" that the Seahawks, by several standard deviations, lead the NFL in steroid abuse? [B][I][U]EVERY[/U][/I][/B] team cheats; the NFL successfully petitioned Congress to consider professional football not a sport but entertainment. And therefore, it's just entertainment and a bunch of plutocrats making billions off people who want to believe it's really a sport. [/QUOTE]
