Ref Congratulates Tom Brady for Conspiracy-Theory Gold

SNIP

After the Patriots’ come-from-behind, 24-20 triumph over the Jaguars in the AFC Championship on Sunday, an official walked over to the glove-less wonder and patted him on the back to get his attention. He then used the universal nice-job-man pat to the chest, congratulating the 40-year-old on clinching his eighth Super Bowl appearance. It was enough to gain notice of a few NFL players and enough to begin the complaints of every Patriots critic (meaning, every non-Patriots fan).

After a game in which Jacksonville racked up 98 yards on six penalties to New England’s 10 yards on one, it made for a clip that instantly went viral, fodder for all those who think that so many calls go the Patriots’ way in big-time moments. It wasn’t even the first time the tin-foil hats were worn Sunday; after a second-quarter touchdown, another official was seen with a big smile on the outskirts of the team’s end-zone celebration.

Yhe refs pretty much gave the Pats carte blanch to hold or do anything to the defense. At one point, the right guard tackled on of the defensive lineman, and I think on that same play, they called a penalty on Jacksonville.

#FakeSports need not be taken so seriously. The advertisers are still making a fortune, and these fictional performances are good for the economy. :)

Shahid Khan, center, the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars, joined arms with his players, some of whom knelt, during the playing of “The Star-Spangled Banner” at an N.F.L. game in London in September.

Brady is AMAZING. Amendola must be the most clutch receiver in history!

The GOAT is Joe Montana who won convincingly, and with little help from the refs.

Do people REALLY think if there was a plot to make the Pats win, the ref would openly congratulate Brady when the cameras would so obviously catch it? Really?

When was the last time you robbed a bank and made sure to take off your mask and pose for the camera with the bank guard that helped you?

Lame! Pitiful! Sad!

I think some anit-pats need some pink pussy hats, amnesty and safe spaces.

I’m not sure what enjoy more about these NFL threads the Patriots haters or the virtue signalling nanny staters that live to tell everyone how they don’t watch football and you shouldn’t either...

Tom Freaking Brady was awesome once again! He could not have won without Danny Amendola... but I Guess that head cruncher to Gronky was good with all the Haters?
Jealousy sucks.
