PATS HATERS CAN APOLOGIZE HERE

Give me the 2 videotapes, one of the signal sent in by the defensive coordinator and the other of the game film, and I will be able to tell you what defensive play they are going to run every time the D-coordinator makes a certain jesture in 5 minutes.  If Tom Brady is half the QB all of you Patriots fans say he is then he should be able to call the right audible at the line to counteract the defensive play.

Because of the fines I like to call them the New England Pay-to-cheats.

1) Your coach cheated, he is a cheater, and will forever be labeled one, and correctly so.

2) Vindication, real or not, for one inciident does not take away the other incidents.

3) While your coach is tremendous at his job, he is a horrible human being.

4) None of that should affect the joy you get from rooting for your team, enjoy the season, the wins, and stop worrying about what others think, unless your self esteem is so low that you need validation form others.

You are making the other Pats fans look really dumb.  The rule states it IS illegal to tape...that is why the coach was fined, and the Pats lost a draft pick...

The only good thing about all of this, is that it takes the heat off of my criminal Cowboys!

espndude1,

 You are 100% correct, unfortunately, no matter how much you explain the real facts about football, these haters will NEVER stop saying the Patriots cheated, no matter how much proof you throw at them.....You and I and most knowledgable football fans realize that any tapes from a game are used to figure out tendancies, they are not used during that particular game, because like you said, it is impossible to break down that film and convey that information to the players in a halftime, because as most real football fans know, EVERY team changes their signals, EVERY half and usually every quarter...It's just easier to say the Patriots cheated than  them try to explain their dominance over the past decade.............Go Pats.....ANOTHER run at the Superbowl this year, all you haters can hate them, but you know they will be there in the end, and what will you say then?????? let me quess, they are cheaters, Bill Belichick has no class.etc.....etc... people need to come up with something new.............becasue no other team in the NFL has ever taped a teams signals, only the Patriots have ever done that, them and them alone....you haters are a joke...

The information was used to show other teams tendencies in playcalling in certain situations...that's not illegal, that's just smart game planning.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!  Listen your yourself.  Do you actually believe the BS you write?  My god man, you need help if you actually believe that crap.  According to that rationalization, getting an insider stock tip for the "future" is also "smart game planning.  No, its called insider trading.  And putting the clear under tongue "for the future" is "smart game planning" as well.  Please pat fans..you have to stop.  You are really making fools of yourselves.  Its hysterical actually.

Ok, start throwing any time...

Bill Belichick is an ass. Sorry for all you Pats fans out there, but an ass is an ass is an ass, and Belichick is an ass. A badly dressed ass.

Not a jackass, mind you, because that would be giving jackasses everywhere a bad name. He’s merely your everyday, boorish, petulant, ill-tempered, loutish, crude, churlish ass. The guy was an ass in New York, an ass in Cleveland, and he’s an ass with the Patriots. Are you getting the drift here?

Yeah, he’s won three Super Bowl titles. And for some of you, that’s enough. He wins, and that, according to Al Davis, is all that counts, baby.

But there’s more to a professional athlete and coach than wins and losses. Because after all, what’s the big deal about winning a game? Be honest now. If it came down to Belichick beating the Jets, or your surgeon beating that tumor growing on your testicles, which one would you choose?

There are so many more important things in life than winning a football game. Or a baseball game. Or any game. In the scheme of things, that ranks way lower than teaching your kid to read, or how to throw a ball, or seeing them smile for the first time.

Smile. That’s one thing Belichick never does. Win or lose, he has the pinched look of a guy having an enema on the sidelines.

And graciousness isn’t a part of his vocabulary. Neither is well-dressed, but that’s another matter.

One of Belichick’s assistants, Eric Mangini, gets the opportunity of a lifetime, to become head coach of the Jets and make himself millions of dollars (for what I haven’t a clue, but that’s the way it is), and takes it. For that, Belichick treats him as if he was a walking communicable disease. Refuses to even use his name for much of this season. Why? Because he’s an ass, people. Belichick took Mangini’s decision to better himself as a personal affront, as though Mangini should have said no to the Jets and stayed with the Patriots out of what … affection? Because we all know how warm and fuzzy Bill is.

After the Patriots beat the Jets in the first round of the playoffs, Bill reacted by brusquely throwing a cameraman – a guy just doing his job – out of the way as he, finally, deigned to congratulate Mangini on a season well-played. Afterwards, Belichick complained that there were too many cameras between him and “the guy, Eric.” The explanation was almost as awkward as the discomfited hug he gave Mangini, a quick lean in, lean back, as if Mangini had a bad odor to him.

It's not just a Jets thing. Following New England's victory over the Chargers, LaDanian Tomlinson accused the Pats of loutish behavior and suggested that it started with the coach. How can any right-minded person disagree?

But some of you apologists adore the guy, think he’s some sort of god because, well, he wins titles for you. The thing is, he couldn’t care less about you. He doesn’t give a damn what you think.

Still, you’ll cheer him, defend him, his "I'm-not-gonna-spend-any-of-my-huge-salary-on clothes" wardrobe, and his utter lack of social skills. You’ll even forgive his personal peccadilloes, such as, um, being too friendly with another man’s wife. Allegedly.

Wake up, folks. Save your applause for someone who really deserves it. Not Belichick, not this ass.

And he cheated on his wife from a member from the Giants organization...

Apologize for the fact that you guys illegally taped the AFC Championship of all games?  Your team has cheated for years and you are idiots if you believe otherwise.

Biggest joke in the history of the NFL, AND they are cheaters, but at least they have that 19-0 trademarked, right?
