Bob Costas and Peter King On "inside the nfl"

[ZeroClub]

Seriously, "if" they were cheating, then why couldn't Bledsoe do anything while they were at it?

Yeah-it's pretty suspicious especially considering that Brady comes in with NO experience, but looks like a 5 year vet with Montana experience, but it still mind-boggles me how Bledsoe was nonetheless incredibly inept.

The NFL fined Bellichick half a million dollars for cheating. The NFL took a draft pick away from the Patriots for cheating. It is pretty clear that the Patriots did cheat.

Bledsoe was Bellichick's starting QB during Bellichick's first year as Patriots head coach. It was a transitional year; the Patriots went 5-11. Interestingly, that year Bledsoe threw only 13 interceptions.

The next year Bledsoe was injured in the second game of the season, Brady took over and went on to win a Super Bowl. So basically Bledsoe only had one healthy season with Bellichick and during that season the OL didn't perform well.

You have to wonder if they aren't already rigged. The stealers were handed the SB against Seattle. Looked what happened to us in Chicago. Fortunately we came out so strong in the 2nd half that even the refs couldn't turn the game. Certain teams just get too many questionable calls going their way time and time again, that I'm just not sure some games aren't already rigged.

I have thought for several years now that the NFL defiently TILTS GAMES TO ONE SIDE.

Pitt in SB is handed the Lombardi before the game even starts. Nice way to pay back Rooney for being a "league guy" all these years.

Jerry Jones is considered a Maverick and the Boyz routinely are the most penalized team in the league. Coincidence, I think not.

THE SAINTS SUCKED EVERY YEAR THEY WERE IN THE LEAGUE UNTIL THE RETURN TO THE DOME AFTER KATRINA......THEN THEY ARE HANDED REGGIE BUSH IN THE DRAFT AND HAVE THEIR BEST RECORD IN HISTORY.....FOLLOWING YEAR THEY ARE BACK TO SUCK.....SORRY, NOT BUYING COINCIDENCE HERE.

I could list other examples, but my point is made. While games are not scripted like pro wrestling, I believe 100% that games are indeed "TILTED" to produce a certain outcome the league would like to see. Maybe I am being paranoid here..........maybe not

IF they were cheating, and I said "IF', they just weren't good enough to win 5 times even with the cheating. I think it's highly possible that they were cheating and still couldn't win 5.

Why are you saying "IF" they were cheating.

What exactly about $500,000 fine and loss of 1st round pick are you not understanding here???

THE PATRIOTS DID CHEAT......I WILL REPEAT DID CHEAT....NOT IF....NOT MAYBE.....NOT INTERPRETATION.....THEY DID CHEAT.

You do realize that just because you dont win the SB doesnt mean you werent cheating. It is possible that with cheating you go 12-4 instead of 9-7.

We're routinely been the most penalized team in the league? No. If you were the Raiders in the past, you might could have said that, but not us. Matter of fact, under Parcells we were near the best in the league until last year.

I have not checked the latest standings, but going into the Ram game Dallas was the most penalized team in the NFL.

If you dont believe me, go look it up.

I understand that we've started out that way this year, but your post said "routinely" which implied that it's an ongoing issue. It's not. You're looking too hard for injustice.

After the Chicago game and now the Bills slipping us a greased ball, I dont think a Boyz fan has to look to hard to find injustice this year.

Sad, but true

i can't believe the audacity of Goodell. He has been in the media sinse day 1 with pac-man jones, tank johnson and michael vick. now, with the biggest football story in recent history he is nowhere to be seen. (Vick was a big story, but it's nothing new for an athlete to be in trouble with the law.)

I love football to a fault and have been watching it since about 1969.

Every season it gets harder and harder for me to maintain my allegiance to the game.

This year is pushing me closer to the edge then ever before.

The inconsistency of GODell's punishments.

The arrogance of his and the owners decision to NOT give the fans their right to a honest and complete explanation of the cheating scandal.

The fact that the officiating is seemingly getting worse instead of better compounded by the fact that there is no accountablity to the fans for the game changing wrong calls that are made almost every single game.


It is more obvious then ever that the league views the fans as nothing more then a flock of sheep waiting to be sheared of as much of our money as they can get.

They are taking us for granted and we are making that possible.

Nice post, VTwin.

There are times today that I watch the NFL because it reminds me of the game that I once loved.
