The little handoff & passing gates are a thoughtful touch.

it's funny, folks...unfortunately, it's the kind of image that "sticks"...not to mention that half the idiots on the Jets' Board will now include it in their sig lines...time to win another Super Bowl and shut them all up...

Eh, the fix is in. The media has already set the story.

Rodney's "joke" on Sunday night also will be part of the "proof" for the haters.

This is how the story of Cameragate morphed over the 2007 season into several "facts" that most of the nation accepts as gospel.

Anyone who doesn't expect to have to deal with this noise about "Brady's preferential treatment" for years to come is only fooling themselves.

If there's one thing the NY media knows how to do it is to create "facts" from coverage.

Exactly, if it wasn't this, it would be something else. The alternative is to have constant losing seasons and no one will hate them anymore. Personally, I like them being hated...

The New England Patriots will be the most reviled team in American sports at least until the day that both Tom Brady and Bill Belichick are finally gone from the scene. Much of it has its roots in jealousy. This article is only the latest in a long line of intentionally disingenuous pieces designed to defame this franchise. Anyone (such as me) who thought that when the videotaping stuff faded away, things would quiet down in this department was fooling himself/herself. This longevity associated with the hatred is compounded by 1) the lack of media members inclined to challenge the allegations of the haters and an organization (the Patriots) which is similarly disinclined to defend itself. The stream of this garbage has been, and will be, endless. Get used to it.
