I pity people who take this much “satisfaction” out of the agony of defeat of a team of class players like the Pat’s. It shows just how little class some people (who cry about how little class Belichick displays) can have. You know, the pot calling the kettle black sort of behavior!!!!! Two very good teams played their hearts out for the championship of Pro Football. One team came away with the prize. The other team left everything they had on the field of battle. Both deserve accolades. Those who can’t or won’t acknowledge this are the epitome of poor sportsmen.
Some of us want them to lose because:
a) cheating (I don’t care how you rationalize it)
b) a QB who swings his #!$@# around siring illegitimate children getting accolades for being 1 of the “greatest” QBs ever
Frankly, the former will definitely hang over their heads no matter how you try to convince others it’s OK, so it’s better they don’t have the stigma of being “undefeated champions” while being called cheaters under the breath by 3/4 of the country. Better to be a loser when you’ve violated rules. Even if it’s only the SB lost. Bad enough now “cheater” and “undefeated season” are spoken in the same breath.
