Whoa there Torch; get back on your meds. I know the facts about the Patriots' cheating are hard to accept. I didn't write this latest article; don't blame the messenger.
As far as the cheating occurring over a number of years is concerned, that has been written in a number of sources. One early reference to this is the allegation by Hines Ward of the Steelers that the Patriots spied on the Steelers in the 2001 AFC championship game. Ward said of the Patriots "they were calling our stuff out. They knew alot of our calls." See http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/2007-09-12-1294083353_x.htm
The Patriots were able to upset the Steelers at Heinz field that year to go on to their first super bowl "win."
Some members of the Eagles also claim that the Patriots cheated in similar fashion in the 2005 super bowl. See http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/13/AR2007091301655.html
No doubt you and other Kool Aide drinkers are clinging to some mealy-mouthed little opinion about the Patriots' documented cheating being irrelevant to these prior incidents. Good for you. But your side has already lost the argument; the country knows the Patriots are a tainted organization.
I was hoping for a Packers-Patriots Superbowl just for the sake of Bret Favre who I greatly admire, but then when I think of whiny sniveling Packers cheeseheads like you I have to be glad the Packers lost. Get a life!!
