Are they upset because someone who is paid to talk about sports had the temerity to actually criticize the anointed ones rather than just showering them with praise?

This is in response to the Outside the Lines story that said the Pats have cheated for years and in ways they haven't been caught yet. Stuff we already know. Cue the apologists and nut hangers defending the Pats. "All they do is win." But they cheat. "They're so good, they don't need to cheat." And yet they do. People are so in awe of this team but look past all the red flags that call into question their greatness.

And their owner also partially owns a football gambling site. Integrity much? Makes Pete Rose look like Grandma at bingo on Saturday night. And their owner tried desperately to get his lap dog Bon Jersey as the owner of a divisional rival and move them out of the country......he got outwitted by Ralph. THAT is the story ESPN should do.

Or just players deciding on their own? Good question... Fair to think Belicheck wouldn't have backed this, but we only know the part of his personality that he shows us. I don't think Kraft would have done it, either,maps it could expose the franchise to fines, if seen to be systemic, not just a Marshawn Lynch not cooperating and therefore gets individually fined. I think it had to be a wealthy member of the roster, who could easily afford to potentially pay 53 players' fines, and who also has a history of being a whiney little baby who cries if he is treated any way other than as a football god...

QB Bills Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Robert Kraft. The guy who mourned the passing of his wife by going out and finding a blonde girlfriend young enough to be his granddaughter.

RyanC883 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 If the DL shows up, we can win this game. Our corners can handle the Pats**** WR's. We can double Gronk. Gronk was also contained for most of the game against the Giants last week. Hit Gronk and Brady every time you can. Jam the other WR's and disrupt timing. The Pats*** D is a bit underrated, but McCoy ran against the best run D in the league last week and had success. If we give TT more than 2 seconds to throw the ball, I think he finds Clay and Watkins quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't the team the Patriots are playing be "mad" and "focused" about something for once? Seriously. And isn't anyone in the press at all curious that the last time they were caught cheating they went undefeated the following year...now it is happening again? if that all a team needs to do to go undefeated then everyone should be mad all the time. Unless of course they just flip a few extra cheating switches on to show everyone who is boss. This team is a mathematical hoax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't it ESPN that investigated, wrote, and published the series linking Spygate and Deflategate and otherwise raising the "Elephant in the Room" question of just how far back, how deep, and how much of an advantage was Spygate etc.?

If we give TT more than 2 seconds to throw the ball, I think he finds Clay and Watkins quite a bit. I watched the Cardinals just terrorize Andy Dalton with their pass rush and wondered why can't our guys play like that? Allegedly we have some of the league's best pass rushers but we can't even get a sniff of a QB anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
