There’s also some deal about a team I think from Pottsdam or somewhere in Pennsylvania, they should give them an NFL championship from a long time ago.

Football is a manly game, watched or played.

So you actually believe watching the television makes you manly...wow! That explain a lot.

... still, the refs have been for the Packers....

The refs are letting them play. Every penalty means more time out there in the cold!

McCarver doesn’t help. Both times when the Sox were one out away from winning the WS I turned on the radio to hear their call instead.

“The point is - they are that good so why the heck did they think they needed to cheat?”

It depends on whether you believe what Belichick said. The rule says that you can’t record from the sidelines in order to gain an advantage in the game. Belichick said he did it to gain an advantage in subsequent games and did not look at the recordings until the game was over.

I suppose you could automatically assume he was lying. You could also assume he wasn’t lying and that he was trying to use a vague rule to his advantage, in which case, there was no intentional cheating.

From what I’ve seen, I have no reason to believe that Belichick wasn’t truthful. The fact that the video taping was taking place in the open rather than with a long lens from some luxury box tends to support Belichick’s story. His attention to detail and preparation also supports that option.

The irrational anger of some people is unfounded. The asterisk is in no way warranted. If anything, the intense scrutiny of the Patriots this season makes it less likely they cheated than any other team.

McCarver is the Shannon Sharpe of baseball.

Well, it looks like I am not welcome on this thread by someone who has pull. For years I have posted my pictures & graphics to express myself as many other do.

Yet only last year on another NFL thread was this brought up and I was told by the mods then I was in the right.

However, tonight again my posting is called spamming and pulled.

I guess to some here, the 1st Amendment has no meaning and they talked the mods into agreeing with them.

Well, see ya around, if I am allowed in the future.

Whoever is whining about Bender should get a life.

Attention! Attencion! Achtung!

LastVisibleDog, I believe, shows up from time to time to run a sociological experiment on Free Republic: he trolls until no one will respond.

I myself experienced this one day a few years ago when (again, as I recall) he insisted that iPod batteries were not user-replaceable.

You should not expect a reasonable, fact-based argument from this one. Automatic gainsaying is more like it.

Please, please: do not feed the trolls. Remember Matthew 7:6 and walk on by.

Do you all think LVD is checking out every response to him?

Depends on my attention span and the repetition.

Now that they second game in underway, I would like to make one last point about cheating. Neither the Packers nor the Giants got caught this year doing team-level cheating...unlike New England*



*it's a joke, don't let being a football fan remove your sense of humor. Why do you think they call it "trash talk"

I participate in a MLB survey. They sent me one after the World Series asking me to rate the Fox and TNT broadcast teams....don't need to tell you how I rated the Fox guys.

I was told by the mods I was able to use photos and graphics to express my opinion and humor.

Sorry about that. Go ahead and continue to express your humor and opinion by posting the same robot pics over and over. Most posters use words but if that's the only way you can express yourself, go for it. I was trying to read this thread as a freeper, not as a mod, and I found your constant pics annoying. I'll ignore it from now on.
