tp49 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I'm confused by the logistics of the alleged cheating because of several reasons;2. It's the Jets for crying out loud! If you are going to try some cheating tactics I would think it would have been done against a team like the Colts or the Chargers, not a team the Patriots could whip in their sleep. This is like the Globetrotters listening in on the Washington Generals- well maybe not quite that extreme, but really what's the point?They were practicing for the Chargers game this weekend.

slapshot Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 The Pats are a bunch of cheaters from the tuck play to tugging on the Colts jerseys in 2003. They cant do anything honestly and compared to other dynasties they are the luckies team ever. They truthfully are not as good as the Bills teams that lost 4 Super BowlsHm....a little bitter as an anti-Boston fan, aren't we?Doesn't matter you think the Patriots aren't as "good" as the four-time Super Bowl loser Bills.3 > 0 Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred T. Jane Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 For most of the same reasons that Bill Simmons went from highly entertaining to barely readable.Your statement is incorrect.Bill Simmons never was entertaining. [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

slapshot Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 People rant and bitch about Simmons.Simmons was the "Boston Sports Guy". ESPN hired him to be their Page 2 columnist. He has never hidden his allegiance to Boston and New England.If you don't like him, don't read his articles.Here's another quote from ESPN's John Clayton...What will be the longterm effect on Belichick and the Patriots?Although this is embarrassing, you can't take away what this franchise can do. They may have the best team in football. Robert Kraft is one of the league's best owners. The team has three Super Bowl rings and a great chance to get a fourth. Other great organizations have paid penalties for violating league rules. The Broncos lost a draft choice for violating the salary cap with John Elway. The Steelers once had to forfeit a third-round draft choice for working out in shoulder pads in the offseason. The Patriots may lose a draft choice or two. And whether or not the Patriots videotaped the Jets' defensive signals, Belichick won't be any less of a coach.So there.

Why?Because we defend our teams against unsubstantiated rants from sour-grapes fans in other cities?Because the two times the Mariners played the Red Sox in Seattle this summer, downtown Seattle was flooded with dorks wearing strategically faded "vintage" Sox hats and green jersey t-shirts, while their fat girlfriends suck down Starbucks milk shakes, spilling whipped cream on their pink "Schilling" t-shirts. And everyone looks so smug, too. Say what you will about Yankees fans, but when the Yanks came to town, the road fans didn't make themselves so obvious.
