I have to admit (not being a fan or enemy of NE, just enjoy watching them play) that I get a huge kick out of NE fans —the team got caught cheating yet somehow they convinced themselves that everybody else is the bad guy. Kinda like Clinton.

While I like the analogy in regards to Patriots detractors, there was no elongated denial campaign.

They admitted the infraction, took the hit financially and draft-choice wise, and have gone on to win more games undefeated in a season than any team in NFL history while simultaneously dealing with the pressure of today's instant, anything-big-or-small-is-news environment.

What else could they have done? Said that no matter what happens this season, "...any success we achieve is illegitimate."?

I think he believes the Patriot Act was enacted into law by Brady so he could steal even more signals and listen into their headsets, plus threaten all his opponents with jail time. After all, that is the only way they could have such a winning streak.........

Very KOS-like.

Paranoid and delusional come to mind here.

"They admitted the infraction,"

think about it....they "admitted" to it...they never even blinked...put up the ransom right away with arguement.....

that tells me that they probably had more to hide...
