Give me a friggin break. Nothing like the league throwing the Pats under the bus and equating them with being evil here.

If I am Kraft, I am on the phone with Goodell having it pulled because it bad publicity for the team or telling him that there will be an injunction awaiting the league by Monday afternoon.

Every time I see the ad I imagine the Pats wiping Gillette field with Brett Favre's (insert whatever part you'd like here). I am sure the team is thinking the same thing.

The league isn't going to pull the commercial and Kraft isn't going to complain. He wants everyone to watch the game too.

The continuing overhype of Favre, however, is incredible. Even though the Jets won 47-3 today, it literally had nothing to do with him (I know as I have him [unfortunately] in my fantasy league). I can't wait until they get here, the Pats stuff the run and Favre starts slinging it to Ellis Hobbs and Deltha O'Neal. Oooh, I can't wait.

Let's face it. Most football fans love Favre and hate the Pats. The NFL Network is just playing up on those feelings. I just don't care anymore.

When the Vegas odds show the Pats as underdog do you feel the casinos have a vendetta against the Patriots?

No, of course not. They are just responding to public opinion in a way that makes themselves the most money. Same as the NFL in this case. The NFL has determined that more people are likely to watch when the game is marketed this way. And I don't see anyone here seriously arguing the public in general sees things differently.

The NFL is CORPORATION with wholly owned subsidiaries that happen to compete against one another. The corporation shouldn't be playing FAVORITES to any of its subsidiaries. And the Pats aren't their biggest cash cow.

Only an idiot JETS fan would make up some half-arsed excuse to say that what the NFL is doing is ok.

How dare the NFL call the pats "rivals". What a bunch of crybabies.

Please continue to show yourself to NOT be a Patriots fan. I am loving this. Also, I love how you have back-tracked from saying that the Patriots were the "NFL's biggest cash cow" to only be one of the top ones.

Also, its about CONTEXT. Clearly you aren't bright enough to understand that the NFL portrayed Favre as a HERO. They stopped short of calling the Patriots the villians, but you could tell that is really what they wanted to say.

Its not being a crybaby. Its voicing MY opinion on what I believe to be a crappy marketing campaign that portray's part of its entity in a bad light. Sorry that is lost on you. But, I guess I should expect that by now. You are the one who claims to have never been wrong, though you've been shown to be wrong on numerous occasions.

Anyone got a video? I will go see if there is anything on YouTube... if not I'll have to lock my eyes onto NFL Network to see this vomit.

I can't agree with you. I've thought Favre to be over-rated for at least the past half-dozen years.

Last year, they were. They shattered ratings records.
I am quite sure they don't actually hate the Pats, but something weird is going on with their relationship with the NFL. Painting them as the bad guys seems like borderline brand defamation, in my opinion.
