Alright so I know how a bunch of people are pissed at the spygate thing and they think the "cheaters should have an asterisk next to their season" and all that other jazz.
But is this reasom the only reason you hate the Pats? The only reason you fail to see how great of a season they had with or without a superbowl win, or how good they have been without their "cheating tapes?
So I have some things to say and I'm just going to get it out of my mind:
1. To all of you who hate the Patriots because "they win all the time"...
- Wow, I forgot that we are all still in kindergarten and everyone needs to win before we can move on. Seriously the same thing happens in EVERY other sport but how much does that get brought up? I mean look at the Yankees, the Candiens, and the Celtics/Lakers..I mean it isn't bad enough that each of these teams holds the record for most championships in their respective sports but they all had streaks where they'd win 4 or 5 in a row. I mean, don't me wrong, I show my emotion when the Sox lose to the Yanks in the playoffs but I usually get over it rather quickly. I could go with more but on to the next topic.
2. To all of you hating on the Patriots season calling it 'tainted'...
- Let me ask you: How is it more tainted than Shawne Merriman's season last year? Did he not cheat and did he not get caught? Yet, he was selected to the Pro Bowl that year and people have since put it in the back of their minds. I get the feeling that this situation won't be the same.
3. To all the Brady haters, saying he's "overrated"
- Are you mental? I mean seriously why the hell is he overrated? Because he has Randy Moss, Wes Welker, Donte Stallworth? How about the fact that Peyton Manning has had guys like Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne to throw to since 2001 and has been putting up the same numbers..but no, he's rated just fine and Tom is overrated.[/sarcasm] How about all the years leading up to this one where Brady's best receiver was not named Moss but rather Gaffney or Brown, how'd he do so well then?..oh wait, I forgot that it was because of their spying on other teams[/sarcasm]
To end my ranting I'll just say this to the haters(basically everyone)...get over yourself and it, seriously.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I guess that ends my rant, these are just some feelings that have been collecting about this whole mess. I put this in the NFL section because it's more general than just the Patriots but feel free to move it if need be. Your thoughts and opinions are always welcome but keep them respectable. I have made it a point to express my views in a manner that didn't require complete bashing or swearing towards one or more outside parties, so I suggest you do the same.
