    people hate the pats because they win...

    It's that, but it's also HOW they win. They're a great team, and everyone hates teams that beat their home team and go to the Super Bowl all the time...that's a fact for sure. Everyone hated the Cowboys in the 90's for the same reason.

    But the Patriots get extra special hate because they've had some really important games where a bunch of weird things happen, and they come back for a win that seemed impossible. The way the Ravens lost was pretty much the worst way you could lose, and hurts a lot more. It was similar to the Chargers game last year, which I still can't believe. You really do have to play great for 60 minutes to beat the Patriots...59 minutes isn't enough, because then the refs and the Patriots have a bigger influence on the outcome.

    But still, the bottom line is that if the Patriots weren't winning, nobody would care about their spying or "smugness" or whatever else.

    Definitely not. They are head and shoulders above the rest of the league and if they go undeafeted they deserve all the accolades that go with it. Even if they didn't video tape the Jets they would have creamed them. They would have creamed the Jets even if they just played with all their back-ups and just put 10 men on the field and I'm a Jets fan.

    The only * that will be used will be beside the 72 Fish when the 07 Fish bookend the 0-16 season with that perfect one.

    It is kinda ironic that no team has ever gone 15-0 and no team 0-15 (the records were set in 14 game seasons) and that the Dolphins and Pats meet each other in Game 15.

    hahahahaha.

    It was starting free safety Anthony Smith... He is apparently trying to replace Joey Porter as locker room loudmouth. He did try to qualify it a bet after he said it.


    "People keep asking me if we're ready for the Patriots," Smith said. "They should be asking if they're ready for us."

    Is Smith so confident that he is willing to copy one of former Pittsburgh linebacker Joey Porter's familiar motivational ploys by guaranteeing the Steelers will win?

    "We're going to win," Smith said. "Yeah, I can guarantee a win. As long as we come out and do what we got to do. Both sides of the ball are rolling, and if our special teams come through for us, we've got a good chance to win."

    May be another * for that ravens game. Anybody see that POS. That was in no way defensive holding. At this point, I want them to go undefeated through the playoffs and then lose to the Cowboys in the superbowl. That would fit perfectly.

    While it will certainly play well to the growing anti-Patriots crowd nationally, regardless of intent and even giving thanks to fortuitous timing, New England is in the clear this season.

    If it makes ya happy slap whatever ya want on the Patriots season but I find it hard that it'll stick.

    I'm not a Pats fan and I say how could they get an *? The Jets knew they were video taping so they were adjusting to that fact. And did anyone see the final score of that game?

    The pats have already earned it.


    They cheated this year, got caught and have been punished. You can't cheat and then beg to be looked at evenly. It just doesnt work.

    The more I think about it, the Pats should get an asterisk in the record books.

    It'll read like this:

    Super Bowl XXXXII Champions:
    New England Patriots (19-0)*





    *    Greatest team in NFL history.

    i don't know if teh pats are going to win a super bowl as i think they will have a problem with the colts still. Pats have to start running as the weather gets bad in NE, they won't be able to throw that much.

    I think it's just a bunch of sore losers that think the Pats deserve an asterisk. They've possibly been more dominating after they were caught "cheating". And I'm no Pats fan. I watched them dismantle Pittsburgh last night. So many people were saying this was going to be the upset game. The only way the Pats will lose this year is if they find a way to beat themselves. And I don't see that happening. They're that good.
