Rightly or wrongly, the Pats are held to a double standard. The NFL and football writers and analysts have put their organization on a pedestal as the epitome of what an NFL oraganization should be and should act like. So, fans of other teams and players who are tired of the Pats and the hype will pick up on every time the Pats act "un-Pats-like". (Of course I realize the way to get the Pats off the NFL poster is by beating them.) While I don't think the Jets rubbed it in to the Pats after the November win, the Jets hadn't beaten the Pats in quite sometime while the Pats have had multiple road playoff successes recently, so I don't think that is a good comparison to make.
face it, belichick is a jerk, but he wins games i hate him as much as the next jets fan, but he wins games what a terrible ordeal i'm in, stuck rooting for either dickhead belichick and the fagtriots or red neck manning and the dolts....let's go NFC
I don't get why everyone thinks the Patriots have a reputation for being a team that conducts itself with "class," whatever the fuck good that does you on a football field. Their owner completely pooched the city of Hartford in order to get concessions on a new stadium in Foxboro (although, to be fair, one he paid a lot of his own money for); Bill Belichek is their coach, I don't think you need to say anymore about that; a bunch of their guys were acting like dicks during the SB vs. the Eagles; etc., etc. Bottom line, who gives a fuck, they win.
That's not Mike Florio, it's LT wearing the shirt. Don't be classless (the so "it" buzzword of '07) and blame the messenger.
I heard that too. Can you post the link so we all can watch it? So far it is just assumptions as to who it was, but you have names. Did you watch it on you tube?
No, I'm not kidding. You think the issue is "originality"? Is this football or a talent show? My point is this: if rubbing the other team's nose in it every time you make a play is cool, then don't bitch when someone rubs your nose in it.
im not arguing my point over again, you can look back to my other posts if you want another statement from me.
You're gonna say it didn't happen? When LT and the whole rest of the Chargers were so offended by it after the game? Please dude.... There's no way that many people would get upset over something that didn't happen....
It was wrong of whichever Patriots did it, thats horrible. The Patriots create rivalries every day I guess. Patriots Rivalries: -Colts -Jets -Dolphins -Bills -Steelers -Chargers
I'll conclude by saying it was classless to do what (certain) Patriots did at the end of that game. But I don't want to hear it from the Chargers who have their own issues with "class". LT does have class but a lot of his teammates don't.
Come on man. Please re-read my post. I stated: Feel free to disagree with me, but don't say things I didn't say. Cool? :up:
