Although the Pats did use several “trick” plays against the Ravens that also relied on confusion as to who was and who wasn’t an eligible receivable.

You insult true “warriors” with that quote. This is a game, tough-guy.

If the team were to change its name to the New England Faggots, all their problems would just go away...

Not a Pats fan, huh?

I wonder, would you have the guts to walk in to the Patriots locker room and state that aloud?

Hopefully all the teams in question keep having the same type of seasons that they had last year. That will make things easy for you.

Jealous jerks. Belichick is a football genius running circles around the next best and to make matters more annoying to the whiners, Belichick isn’t in the coaches union. The only coach that doesn’t have time for that self congratulation society.

IIRC, Tom Landry (after he retired) hinted that some of the early Superbows were ‘fixed’ so as to create greater national interest in them.

I do wonder how much of what we see as ‘sports’ on TV is actually more ‘entertainment’ in the manner of pro wrestling.

You are daft, they just play smart ball instead of brawn ball.

I’ve got a feeling the Patriots are going to rip the Sea Hawks. This media hype is to talk about something besides how bad of a matchup this game is.

KooKoo for you, you can’t “cheat” in front of TV cams and 80,000 fans, the Pats are just simply playing chess while the others are playing checkers.

Playing A+ ball against B- ball is all. No need to cheat, just be smarter than the competition. Quit resting on your laurels.

its the refs fault, they should know the rules.

So cheating is OK with you as long as you do not get caught?

To what else in life would you apply that code of ethics?

No, his point is if they were the New England Transvestites, or whatever, the Boston Globe and ESPN would be touting their glories 24/7.

Please post a link where Harbaugh ever said anything the Pats did was “illegal”.

Ur visht iz my command, Sahib:

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/24953400/harbaugh-says-ne-ran-illegal-plays-tom-brady-says-study-the-rulebook

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/ravens-coach-john-harbaugh—patriots-ran—illegal—plays-in-win-031722873.html

At least Harbaugh confessed to befuddlement. Deception is perfectly legal, otherwise they’ll have to outlaw the pump fake, looking off a receiver, the “Statue of Liberty” play, ... Might as well change the name of the game to “croquet” or tic-toc-toe. We New Englanders have our faults, I admit, we often mistake “deception” and “action” for “excitement”.

I'm sorry, I guess English is not your first language

/if it were, then you would know that my comment was that the team's name (Patriots) that is causing all the problems." If they were to change their name to something beloved by the MSM (homosexuals), then these "scandals" would go away.

I think what Cowboy Bob meant is that it is not PC to be called the Patriots, that homosexuals are the only PC thing in this culture.

Ever since he dumped his woman and kid for a supermodel I can not stand Brady....and I’ve seen nothing to change my mind.

I love Russell Wilson - a great guy, a Christian, his attitude is inspirational - not to mention he’s one hell of a quarterback. GO SEA HAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
