First of all I would say that our program here is built on competition and trying to improve every day and trying to work hard. And it’s not built on excuses.

I mean it’s just, I think it’s a sad commentary and it’s really a very, it’s gone to a pretty low level.

Or to teams all over the league in all stadiums. But hey don’t let facts get in the way of your blind hate.

Warm drinks and trash cans? And stuff like that?!?!?!? What the hell kinda Ghazi-Gate scandal was this again?

Next up for the Pats... Beergate, spiking the opponents microbrews the night before the big game.

“I don’t really know, I don’t know enough about technology to know how any of that works. But that’s how it goes.”

There are not only ‘homer’ state employees of MA providing security, but also NFL officials.

So, I’m not going to argue degrees of popularity with you, because that’s just silly (and would also hearken back to my original point). Also, people love winners. But here’s some info for you to read; Google isn’t that hard.

I have a Jewish mother. I can live with a lot of guilt.

Well said, Mr. Putin.

I found a Jet’s play sheet in a Jersey Denny’s once during the first couple of Ryan years. Sold it on eBay.

I seem to remember the Spurs being accused of sabotaging the air conditioning, making the opponents’ showers cold, putting snakes and flies in the opponents’ locker room, etc. Nobody cared. But that’s different from accusations never having been made.

“Al Michaels took some time out during Sunday Night Football to tell Cris Collinsworth that he’s the stupidist fucking asshole he’s ever seen in his professional career.”

If, in ANY business, you’re that concerned about people stealing shit, you change up security policies. You don’t shrug your shoulders and continue business as usual.

The “they hate us cuz they ain’t us” defense isn’t pure New England paranoia. Both Atlanta and Cleveland got caught engaging in much worse cheating than the Pats this past year, and zero people case because Cleveland and Atlanta. If the Pats were pumping in fake crowd noise Skip Bayless’ head would explode.

It was such an open and shut case that they spent $5m on junk science that kinda sorta proved that it wasn’t completely impossible that it happened.

“Hey, we heard from (other team) that the Patriots are sending people into the visiting team’s locker room at Gillette to steal play sheets. What do you think we should do? Leave fake sheets behind? Have someone hide and catch them? Set up a hidden camera maybe? If we got hard evidence, it’d be pretty hard for them to…

He really hates it when Mommy and Daddy fight.

Thank god something regarding the Pats came out today. I was worried you wouldn’t have anything to write about.
