Why do you loathe the New England Patriots?
Because they win?

I didn’t see it, but Beau told me that Goodell was BOOED the entire time he was speaking!

It wasn’t his wife, it was an ex-girlfriend. He has been married only once and still is to the same woman.

I’m no Falcons fan, and I’m not saying they did it this game, but Brady & Belicheck have a history of bending / breaking the rules to win over other teams. Plus anyone who leaves his pregnant wife to run off with a Brazilian supermodel (Tom Brady) is, most definitely yes, a SCUMBAG of the highest possible order.

You don't even have the facts straight. Moynahan and Brady were not married. He didn't know she was pregnant when they broke up - according to her. So your second misstatement, that he left his "wife" to run off with a supermodel, is false. Your first claim, that "Brady & Belicheck[sic] have a history of bending / breaking the rules" is based on questionable claims for the most part. Even the four game suspension that Brady served was re-imposed by fiat by Roger "Boos" Goodell after Brady was effectively acquitted in court. Even the "science" behind the claim of deflated footballs is disputed. What do you think happens to a football that is a) inflated inside where it is warm and taken outside where it is not only cold, but wet, and then b) has 300 pound guys land on it a few times? Sensible people understand that Deflategate was a sham attempt to whack the Patriots. Anything that has stuck turns out to be things other teams engage in with impunity. So, while I am not claiming that the Patriots are lily white innocents, I will say that they have been scapegoated, particularly by Goodell and especially because of their success.

I stand corrected: Brady knocked up his GIRLFRIEND, left her pregnant, and then ran off with a Brazilian supermodel. I guess that makes it all ok, huh?

Now you can start getting the rest of your facts straight. There’s no scapegoating with the Patriots going on. Here are the facts...

The Patriots have a history of being CAUGHT CHEATING (videotaping coaches, deflating footballs) and I despise that. Makes you wonder how many games, years & Superbowls they cheated to win BEFORE they were caught. Since they have a history of cheating, have they figured new ways to cheat and just haven’t been caught yet (such as headset tampering)? Only time will tell.

Pats fans can’t stand to hear this but it’s the truth. The Patriots have a documented history of cheating to win football games.

As she says he didn't know at the time (which I pointed out in the previous post, but you decided to ignore that), your attempt to smear him shows your bias. They have all three worked it out. Is it a perfect solution, or even an optimal one? No. But he takes care of all of his kids and you need to contain your envy.

As for your allegations of cheating, we have "Spygate", where "the Patriots" were caught filming a game against the Jets from an unapproved location - exactly as "the Jets" had been caught doing in a previous game against the Patriots. It was payback, both ways. Either it is rampant throughout the league or it is limited to these two incidents. I'll give you a hint - other teams not mentioned have also been caught doing it and were not punished to the level that the Patriots were. You can at this point be sure that there is only one team NOT doing it, and that is the Patriots.

Then there is "Deflategate", which has been scientifically debunked numerous times and the suspension for which was overturned in court and subsequently reinstated by Goodell by fiat. Brady merely chose to put it behind him and move on for the sake of his team (which arguably worked, right?) This "scandal" is considered to be bogus by all but the most die-hard Patriots haters. Hmmm.

Headset tampering - a lot of losing teams have complained about it against a lot of other teams (not just or even especially the Patriots), and I've seen equipment failures that affected the patriots, too, but they don't whine about stuff like that like a lot of other teams do. At this point the claims of headset tampering are unsubstantiated and not Patriots specific.

What else do you have? There are a number of incidents where somebody just got outsmarted by Belichick or spanked in a game and cried about it. Lots of those. Come up with something legitimate and don't make sweeping generalizations without evidence. Something more than insinuations, perhaps.

If the Patriots are such incorrigible cheaters, they must be really good to have gotten away with it so much after 2001 while under such intense scrutiny since the first sour-grapes accusations were made. Or people that got their asses handed to them over and over are just throwing crap against the wall, desperately trying to get something to stick.

Man you’re totally nuts if you still think there is the slightest envy with Tom Brady here. You can justify all you want (but other teams do it, blah, blah, blah) but your beloved Pats have a HISTORY OF BEING CAUGHT CHEATING - PERIOD.

BTW, I have experience guys like Brady will NEVER have such as service to my country in the US Army (I gave up a six figure income join the Army & kill Al Qaeda), fighting the Taliban in overseas combat as an Infantry soldier, protecting the lives of helpless civilians, training local military & police, and do you know why we do it and keep going back? It’s not for you, Obama, snowflake athletes, or the rest of the liberal turds out there - it’s for the guy on our left and our right - that’s it and that’s all.

And yet, you can't come up with anything substantive. I asked you to come up with examples beyond what I discussed already. Let's have 'em.

Certainly no sports team is perfect, as they are made up of flawed human beings, but trying to claim that the Patriots are some kind of standout cheaters reeks of the same jealousy that spawned most of the claims against them in the first place. And that is exactly what it is. You clearly aren't trying to be objective.

What's your team? Let's do a side-by-side and see how they fare.

BTW, I have experience guys like Brady will NEVER have such as service to my country in the US Army (I gave up a six figure income join the Army & kill Al Qaeda), fighting the Taliban in overseas combat as an Infantry soldier, protecting the lives of helpless civilians, training local military & police, and do you know why we do it and keep going back?

Thank you for your service. How does that support your argument that the Patriots are paramount cheaters?

I am especially curious about one of your statements: It’s not for you, Obama, snowflake athletes, or the rest of the liberal turds out there - it’s for the guy on our left and our right - that’s it and that’s all.

So you fight for the military and only the military? Not for America, the Constitution or your family or neighbors? Maybe I misunderstood you, so feel free to clarify it for me.

On second thought, don't bother. Playing the veteran card on a topic that has *nothing* to do with the military is kind of cheating, isn't it?

I already have but you’ve overlooked them it all with your rose-colored glasses. Keep drinking the Koolaid.

Re the military, you’ll never understand if you’ve never served so I won’t even bother.

A man with experience is never at the mercy of a man with an argument.

God bless & have a nice life.
