Very good post. Unfortunately those who decry the Pats wont give them any credit whatsoever because they are fixated on the non-issue of their cheating (when in reality they were only caught with videotape of the first half of the first game of the season - video tape that the Pats coaches never got to watch). Pats fans...ya gotta luv 'em. This is like saying "We broke into the house, but we didn't end up taking anything, so there's no crime".
18 - 1 is one hell of a record. Bwahaaaaahaaaahaaahaa!
