FOXBOROUGH - If you want to hate the Patriots - and who doesn't? - then here was yet another reason to gnash your teeth and curse the scoreboard. The Pats won ugly Sunday, and maybe a little dirty. They put up the winning points in the AFC Championship Game during the second quarter, the turning point of the game, on a defensive play that looked very much like an illegal leg whip by outside linebacker Mike Vrabel.

The article also points out what many drooling Patriot fans continue to deny: that their team is among the most despised in history. And that is not because of their "record" either. There have been many well-liked winning teams in NFL history, such as the 1972 Dolphins.
Finally, the article points out what a little baby boy linebacker Vrabel is. Mike "pile on" Vrabel is especially loved by a lot of nipplehead New England fans, who identfy with a guy who believes in cheating and getting something for nothing.
Why is this posted in the news section?
That game was not even close. Quit crying !!
Basically because the guy is an idiot who is obsessed with hatred for a team and cannot formulate an original thought.
It is referred to as PDS...affects the same kind of people who suffer from BDS.
Bondy has obviously “flipped” out, just like you. I am sure the Patriots practice leg whipping as they are pushed into the QB....and finally, do you know how many calls are missed on every play...get serious. You’re continual bashing is getting tiresome...get a life, or at least get a clue. You’re embarrassing yourself..!!!
How old are you, anyway?
If I had to guess, I would say probably 11 or 12. Am I close?
Yeah, leg whips never happen. Neither does holding. Neither does chop blocking. Neither does illegal hands to the face. Neither does horse collar tackling. Neither does illegal contact. Neither does running into the kicker. Neither does... do I really need to continue to point out examples of how lame the article and your post are?
Oh brother. What next? Belichick was seen in a Darth Vader mask during halftime?
Face NY fans, your media is already preparing you for a loss. The Giants will follow the Yankees down in flames.
Every pro game has a few illegal moves that get unnoticed by the refs. Get over it.
What Bellichick did as far as secretly recording the opposing teams signals is clearly illegal and unconscionable.
However, every player can choose on any play to commit a foul such as holding, pass interference, leg whipping, etc. knowing that there is a chance they will get away with it and a chance they will get caught.
If they get caught, the penalty is usually very hefty and deserved.
Vrabel did what a lot of player's do and got away with it. No biggie.
In order to win, teams have to overpower the opposition or risk losing on a technicality, lucky play, or bad call.
Come on, be for real. You know Belichick doesn’t need the MASK...:)
That game was not even close. Quit crying !!
What game did you watch????
Dude, it’s only a football game, nothing but sports. Grown-ups making millions playing a game. Is this really life-and-death we’re talking about here? Is it necessary to get all obsessed over the Patriots? Personally I think the Giants have a good shot at an upset. They gave the Patriots a good run at the end of the year. You sound like one of the guys who been cut from junior varsity and is now getting “revenge” 20 years later (Cue cheesy 80s soundtrack and half-naked Phoebe Cates in background)
Packers game was close.
Other than Patriot fans, everybody likes to see big timber fall. - Tom
making excuses already?
I will root for the Pats. Those who hate them without a reason hate them because they remind them of their own failures. They see something beautiful and want to destroy it.
Cheatriots* fans being blind to the massive cheating. Should have had to Forfeit games for the taping scandal. or at least stripped of ALL their draft choices.
LOL..cheesy soundtrack...:)
I don’t think this guy ever responds to his posts, he just kind of sticks them out there. I think it is a kind of mental (or lack of) masturbation for him.
