PATS!!!!!!!!

You might want to see who was quoted in that post. Hint....it wasn't you, it was the tin foil hat wearing guy.

But, I'd give Gamora a tumble, and some of Captain Kirk's conquests.

I knew it wasn't me just trying to have some fun with my favorite Pat fans after driving you all crazy last night LOL

 

[Waquoit]

...You ok with that because that's what happened?

I think the question mark you use here is less a typo than a Freudian slip. Your brain has still not caught up to the reality. Then again, one can say that's been the case since 10/20/04.

Let's not forget the tuck rule. Which to anyone else but Patriots fans looks like a fumble.

Anyone but Pats fans and those who knew the rules, you mean.

How is this on the Patriots?

The refs interpreted the then rule correctly. BTW, the Tuck Rule was rescinded a few years back.

You patriot fans are cute. Your team has a cloud of suspicion hanging over it and they more than doubled a 50 year record. Sorry, but, non-patriot fans are going to go, hmmm.

The thing I don't understand is the "vindication" angle.

Yes, they won. Yes, he's the greatest QB of all time. Yes, he was amazing in the 2nd half of the game.

But he still cheated. Got caught. Served his suspension. This doesn't erase what he did and that he was found guilty.

Thats just a media narrative that got out of control. Not saying what they did wasn't wrong, but the current scandal in Seattle IMO is WAY worse than what the patriots/TB did, and yet no one talks about it.

No it's been ok for you since 2004 because that's ALL YOU KNOW. And fans like you make intolerable douches! Thanks for the obvious Waq - you're the best!!

 

[jayteeman]

Let me make it more plausible for you guys - you don't win without a total collapse and gag by the other team . You won because they sucked not because you guys are so good! Nuff said - sick of it!!! Tom wasn't great, Matty and the falcons sucked. You had no right coming back other than awful coaching. You ok with that because that's what happened?

Yep....and the Giants won two because a field goal kicker sucked and a guy named Welker couldn't catch a pass...why do we even watch this silly game?

I was being somewhart sarcastic jaytee but thank you!

Lol that some of you don't think last night's game was scripted.

who do you think drew up the script for the game?

Somewhart? An unconscious Pats dig if I ever saw one.

 

[intlzncster]

Belichick. The grand puppet master. He controls all the strings in the NFL don't ya know.

One thing about your situation mau, you grew up in the middle of CT, which isn't necessarily Patriots country, especially when a team is a laughing stock (not just bad--a complete and total joke of a franchise). So you wouldn't expect many Pats fans.

And then you moved to Mass, which is the heart of Patriots country, so you'd expect a whole lot more. And you see it through this lens, so naturally it appears there are way more bandwagon fans than for other teams. Your particular geographical circumstances enhances the effect.

Every team that gets good has a LOT of bandwagon jumpers. Look at how Dallas became 'America's Team' back in the day. Realistically, nobody outside of Texas and neighboring areas should give a lick about them, but they were a national brand.

Look at the Yankees of the 1990s. If you traveled around the world, you'd see Yankee hats everywhere. It was only towards the mid 2000s that you started to see some Sox caps showing up.

Heck look at UCONN. The vast majority didn't support prior to when JC stared winning. I'm willing to bet the vast majority didn't even know they had a basketball team.

Do pink hats annoy me? Sometimes. Especially those who no nothing about the game. But I take it as inevitable and a small price of success and enjoyment. Just the nature of the beast.

I love how the media is still going over Spygate this morning because Dungy admitted stealing signals. And then his LB Gary Brackett weighs in and says they stole the signals with video. Great stuff.

Your arguments would hold more water as a comparison. But there is one glaring difference. The other teams you mention didnt cheat at the blatantly unfair level the Pats did.

The middle of CT isn't the heart of Patriots country? Coulda fooled me.

The middle of CT isn't the heart of Patriots country? Coulda fooled me.

I grew up with mostly Giants fans--as a kid, that was around the time of Simms/Taylor/Morris and company--and that was a half hour NW of Hartford. I knew a few Dolphins fans, for none other reason than Dan Marino.

Kids naturally gravitate towards winners--right now that's the Patriots. Oftentimes parents follow because their kids are so passionate about it. Especially those who don't know too much about football. And yes, there are plenty who just hop on the winning train. It is what it is.

Haha Good one. Nice troll Auggie.

You mean like the Yankees and Steroids? Those teams reportedly had one of the largest number of juicers in that era. From the Mitchell report, more than 25 guys implicated iirc. Heck, Clemens even had his 'trainer' in the locker room.

Depends what's underneath.

What about the blatant cheating that went on at UConn??

Where did Brackett admit to video? I know he admitted they stole signals, everybody does it. If you are stupid enough not to change it up, you are going to get exploited. Same as baseball.

Affirmative. Sure does make watching the game at a bar a more enjoyable experience. Much better scenery and conversation!

What part of "didnt cheat at the blatantly unfair level the Pats did." Do you have trouble understanding?

Pats fans so cute. They will sell out their own College hoops team to defend Belicheat to the death.

I read it on ESPN. I'm sure he was referring to the game video taken from the booth, where it wasn't illegal.
