Prove your allegations of cheating regularly and prove that other teams do not.

Why would I have to? They were clearly guilty of cheating during the Jets game this year and that clearly followed other episodes.

Late breaking allegations of filming the Rams walkthroughs are more than believable.

"Everybody does it" is no defense. Especially when they don't.

Brady has played in more SB’s so it is likely he will lose some.

Joe Montana is 4-0 in Super Bowls.

'Nuff said.

And, as for your bandwagon allegations, I am a 49ers fan and season seat holder. Have been for decades. Will be for decades to come. . .

“Oh wait... a little birdie is talking to me, something about 3 super bowls, 2 world series and the best record in the NBA?”

I’d rather the Boston people win games than elections.

The beach vacation is for next week at the Pro
Bowl.

[Right Cal Gal]

Yep. As does Montana.

And as a die-hard Saints fan for more than 30 years, I’ve got a soft spot in my heart for Archie and Olivia’s boys.

[Ditto]

There’s no excuse for the way the Pats played yesterday.

You're wrong. The Pats have an excellent excuse. It was the Giants defensive line that beat them. They played an outstanding game and deserve credit for it.

You and others think the Mannings are squeaky clean? Archie totally and unscrupulously manipulated the draft to get poor Eli off the Chargers because he knew LT would be the marquee player. Talk about arrogant.

Actually I never heard one Patriot bring up the undefeated season and only talked about it when some press goon would hound them. They also do not talk smack a lot, like the Colts they just go out and win almost every time, almost.

[Reaganite1984]

When Brady choked on the Pats last ditch effort I bet every Dolphins player that still has a functioning prostate made happy in his pants.

[Tenacious 1]

Brady went to Mexico or something the week before the Superbowl. There was talk in the media about his focus. I don’t remember the specifics. He was missing for several practices. He wasn’t in the locker room or on the field.

[Resolute Conservative]

Yep, I knew that if the Giants wanted to win the D had to play hard and they did. They won the game. Both offenses played average at best.

[dawn53]

They all talk that crap big deal.

Well, I don't agree...most teams are more gracious than the Pats. They're full of themselves from Brady laughing at Burress' score prediction, to Belichek not having much to say at the post game interview.

Strahan's team won, and he didn't say "We knew we'd win"...instead here's his quote:

"We shocked the world," Giants defensive end Michael Strahan said. "We shocked everybody. We even shocked ourselves."

19-0: The Historic Championship Season of New England's Unbeatable Patriots

Well they didn't go 19-0.

they did however go 16-0 in the regular season. And won 2 more playoff games. Which is pretty good and doesn't occur too often.

Which reminds me of a question I've had about American football versus other sports.

Why is it so "easy" to go undefeated in the NFL and not in other sports?

What would be the equivalent record in baseball? 162-0? What about hockey or basketball?

Could it ever be possible to accomplish an undefeated record in any other sport? Is there something "wrong" with football's setup where it's possible to go undefeated? And it's happened more than once!

[Straight Vermonter]

Goddell asked the Pats if they taped any other games and they said no. Why look any further?

*rolls eyes*

[Resolute Conservative]

Yada yada, it is still a game and the world turns today.

On a side when are your 49er’s going to get a QB. I had high hopes for another Bay City air show but it doesn’t appear to be happening? Any trades in the works>

[swain_forkbeard]

Looks like winning the Supe is not so easy when you’re not allowed to cheat.

Belichek wouldn’t have done it if he didn’t think it would give him an edge. He oughtta know.

Two Super bowl wins by 3 pts each. The commish claims the cheating never affected the outcome of ANY games. So how come they were doing it? So how come it’s aginst the rules?

[swain_forkbeard]

Like Mick said, women weaken legs.

[dawn53]

The article I read said that six of the tapes destroyed were from 2006...I’d like to know about who was on those tapes (i.e. which teams.)

[Major Matt Mason]

I'm not bothered by a Pats loss (I wanted them to win because I hate the '72 Dolphins). But I wish it would have been a team from somewhere other than the NYC area. It doesn't do my heart good at all to have the Giants as champs because we'll have to put up with obnoxious NYers for the next year (until they are dethroned).

[dawn53]

I imagine there have been several baseball teams with 18 game winning streaks...maybe because there are so few football games is why it’s easier to go for an unbeaten season.

[Reaganite1984]

That was one of the most inspiring stories this season.

He's traveled with them for the entire playoffs-and most of the season, IIRC.

I also loved the introduction to the game with Michael Strahan at Ground Zero.
